Looks like it time to place a blockade around Cuba again. China will be searching for oil in and around the island. This is unacceptable. Thanks to Jimmy Chan Carter China has its claws in the Panama Canal. If they are allowed to have a fanancial and natural resource interest in our backyard, then we will have a national security issue in the near future. The chances are slim to none that we will see this blockade from our current president or our congress anytime soon. For the most part our elected officials are against sealing our borders during this time of war. Many of these politicians refuse to allow anyexploration or production of our own natural resources.
And it is time for Castro to go. President Bush to his credit removed a killing and torture machine named Saddam. And Castro isn't any better. Just ask anyone who has lived under his rule. His political opponents occupy a prison cell or a grave. He has a special prison just for gays and HIV infected people. His Hollywood friends do not seem to mind. Here is a link to a very interesting article about the Chinese and Cuba deal.

Complaining that energy-hungry China could gain access to oil "within spitting distance" of the United States, Sen. Larry Craig, an Idaho Republican, has introduced legislation that would seek an exception to the trade embargo for U.S. oil companies so they could drill in Cuba.
U.S. companies are barred from exploring for oil in communist Cuba under trade sanctions enforced against President Fidel Castro's revolutionary government since 1962.
Legislators from Florida, where anti-Castro Cuban exiles have political clout, seek to block Cuba drilling near the Florida coastline and penalize executives of foreign companies that help Cuba look for oil and gas.
China's giant oil and gas company Sinopec Corp. signed an agreement last year to produce heavy oil with CUPET in Cuba's westernmost Pinar del Rio province from on-shore wells.
