An American journalist who interviewed a senior officer of the US 82nd Airborne (the parachuting "door kicking" shock troops of the United States) who claimed that in 2003 there was military planning for an invasion of Cuba
Follow the link below for the full article. The key text is:
"He also shared an interesting anecdote that about a year ago, certain commanders in the 82nd Airborne had been told to prepare for a quick incursion into Cuba. I was stunned.
He said, "Yep, we couldn't believe that on top of everything else, Bush thought he could go take out Castro." The Navy Seals were going to go in and do the dirty work, he said, and the "82nd was going to go in for clean-up." He said that he never heard more about it but that the orders clearly didn't go forward -- but they were prepared for that possibility and told that "Bush just wanted to take out Castro."
Anecdotal evidence, but sometimes the truth bubbles out that way Please forward to anyone in Cuba/ Venezuela circles who would find it useful.
