Fidel Castro: Obama 'Misinterpreted' Raul's Words

IMO diplomacy fails when either the involved parties refuse to compromise and talks stop, or the talks result in worsening the situation.

"Hamas does not recognize the existence of the State of Israel and maintains its vision of establishing a Palestinian state throughout all of the area west of the Jordan River. He also reiterated that there is no chance that Hamas would voluntarily disarm as long as Israel exists"



How exactly do you negotiate with someone that fails to recognize you exist?


Whose primary desire is "you die"?

Just wondering.
 
This has become your fallback when you lack any sort of intelligent response.

This has become your fallback when you lack any sort of intelligent response.

No, it's not. You decided to try and force the thread that way because you opened your mouth and swallowed your shoe.

No, it's precisely what is being discussed here. You just can't defeat the point, so you try to dodge.

This is simply Obama recognizing the new President of Cuba as a legitimate head of state and communicating a desire normalize relations.

Yes, and we saw how Obama the n00b got spanked.

And notice you didn't actually debunk what I stated. You just said "no I didn't, you're just being mean."

I said no such thing. You're either drinking again, or your imagination is working overtime.

You absolutely made that argument when you started moving the goal posts around and bringing up why he should have sent a lesser diplomat instead of speaking to those leaders himself. Hell, all he did was make statements to the media about his willingness to meet with Castro and discuss relations

We saw where his inexperience got him in that move. He got his hand bit, the damage was done. We witnessed Fidel school his understudy Raul, by issuing a statement in response to Obamas naive attempt at foreign policy. Precisely why you send in an underling to lay the groundwork, so you don't have embarrassing moments like this in front of the world.

When I challenged you on that you began bringing comparison of Kissinger and Brady to validate your case.

Challenge me? You need balls to challenge me, you have none.

Brady? Making up new arguments again, typical Lerxst tactic. Show me where I've ever even brought "a Brady" into any discussion here. Oh wait, it's obvious you don't know what the **** you're talking about, again.

Try to focus. I know you get confused when making up your own facts, you have priors.

I don't know if you realize this or not, but Fidel Castro is no longer the President of Cuba, Raul Castro is. I don't care what that old bag of **** said, Raul Castro is in power. There is plenty of speculation right now that Raul and Fidel have different ideas about the future between the U.S. and Cuba.

Here's a stellar set of statements.

First we have:

I don't know if you realize this or not, but Fidel Castro is no longer the President of Cuba, Raul Castro is.

Then we have:

I don't care what that old bag of **** said, Raul Castro is in power.

Followed by:

There is plenty of speculation right now that Raul and Fidel have different ideas about the future between the U.S. and Cuba

Well, if Raul is in power, and you don't give a **** about what Fidel says in regard to who is in power, then the difference of ideas between Fidel and Raul are irrelevant. :doh

Obviously you have some inner turmoil about who is in power in Cuba. You go ahead and work to resolve that inner conflict, and perhaps return with a clearer understanding of the situation.

Raul took over for Fidel, because of Fidels failing health. The fact that Fidel issued a statement following the exchange between the n00b Obama and Raul, shows clearly who is really in power.

Not at that point it wasn't. The argument had evolved past that point. And your assertion that Obama is ignorant of foreign policy is rich consider the colossal pile of excrement your argument here is.

Your inability to keep up is your problem. Obama is ignorant of foreign policy, as we keep witnessing. Your denial of this, once again, is your problem.

When Obama and his cabinet aren't insulting our allies, they're cozying up with our enemies. Great policy indeed. :lamo

Except that we weren't at that stage of negotiations so your bringing it up was both inappropriate and off base given the reasons you were criticizing Obama.

No, you weren't at that stage, try to keep up.

You didn't clearly show anything.

No, it's not clear to you, as you have trouble keeping up, thus the blur you're experiencing.

You're problem here is that you really don't know what you are talking about...hence your injection of Brady and insinuating that he had some meaningful role in the downfall of Communism in eastern Europe. This alone sheds a massive white light on your level of understanding of the subject matter.

No the problem here, is you're confused about the folks I've used to demonstrate your lack of understanding in regard to foreign policy.

Here you are, on again about Brady, obviously you just reached in and pulled Brady out of your ass. Tom Brady? Brady Bunch? Who the hell is Brady?

I've made no insinuation about the fall of communism.

Again you make up your own facts and start your little game of false assumptions/assertions & insinuations.

Really, that imagination of yours needs to be brought under control.

That is your opinion. And you base it only on the fact that you don't like him. You don't have the foggiest clue as to what proper amounts to here. The fact that the President of Cuba was so quick to respond positively to Obama's overture is evidence that he sincerely interested discussing the future between our nations.

No, I base it on the daily gaffes we see from Obama and his administration.

Yes, we saw Raul quickly respond, only to have Fidel step in and correct his understudy.

No, I'm just here pointing out how moronic your argument is. You have no choice but to pluck posts out of context and then try to use them as some sort of evidence. That's all you have.

No, what I have here is another beligerant post from you in which you make up your own "facts" and constantly try to reframe the arguments I made.

Really, your attempt at debate here is pitiful, pitiful. Shameful has no definition in your vocabulary.

I'm right because I'm right and you have done nothing to prove me wrong. You're case here wouldn't pass muster in a high school debate club.

You keep telling yourself this, someday, maybe someday, even you'll start believing it.

Yeah, and you might want to see if University of Phoenix Online has math classes available.

??? Not familiar with this school. You seem well versed in it though. Knock yourself out in your studies there.

More of the GottaHurt Sniffle®.

Bravo :applaud The "I can't beat GottaHurt, so I'll join him" approach.

Technique? It's called mockery.

Yes, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Don't be ashamed that you've had to concede again.

You get that a lot here in case you didn't notice.

I love it when you're in retreat mode and you resort to "Me and my two anonymous Internet friends don't like you" routine.

No, I just enjoy walking you into the floor on things like this.

The only thing you've walked into is a brick wall. Pretty much SOP for you in a debate.
 
I had Brady stuck in my brain for a completely different reason. You're right, I wasn't focused at all at that point. Insert Baker where I said Brady...the argument still stands. That was fairly embarrassing.

Now other than pointing out I said Brady instead of Baker, which by the way in the earlier posts I didn't make that obvious mistake, you still have not made your case. You didn't even address the meat of the argument except to say "Fidel made a statement so he is still in power."

So when Bill Clinton made statements about U.S. foreign policy issues, after his Presidency, I guess he was still running the show huh?

:rofl:rofl:rofl

So...you got me on the name mistake, that's 1 for you, but about two dozen for me. So let's actually talk about the argument I made, the one you didn't address at all.
 
The whole Brady thing was on my mind over James Brady and the Brady Bill I was discussing on a guitar forum I frequent. It's the only defense I can plead in this case. I should have been more focused given your nature of diversionary debate tactics.
 
No, Obama the dip****, is totally clueless when it comes to foreign policy as we are witnessing it first hand.

He brought Biden on because he was a "foreign policy expert". The smart move is to send in Joe to handle these second rate dictators. The circus atmosphere they bring to the table shouldn't involve the POTUS.

What an embarrasment in front of the whole world.

Speaking of which, what has happened to Joe "foot in my mouth" Biden lately? Haven't heard a whole lot from him have we? Probably better that way. I am thinking that even he is stunned how stupid the Democrats are looking with their new weaken America first foreign policy.
 
I hear this argument all the time, usually premised on the claim that Bush never tried to talk to anyone and always resorted to force first. Which is patently absurd on its face.

But the people who tend to say this sort of thing rarely, if indeed ever, have an answer to the question . . .

At what point can it be fairly said that "diplomacy" has failed?

I would like to elaborate on this comment and correct it: "But the people who tend to say this sort of thing rarely, if indeed ever....have any FACTS to support their wild eyed purely partisan political divisive RHETORIC."
 
And what is that? Talking **** on Obama? Great, you guys should all be billionaires by now.

How trite and hypocritical coming from one who spent so much of his life over the last eight years spewing your vitriol and lies and distortions about the previous President.

I guess now that you "cashed in" on your bile, you will now continue your despicable attempts to impugn the previous administration to hide the massive incompetence and gross negligence of the ones currently in power whom you agree with.

Watching the Liberal Leftists of the forum desperately defend the naive notion that if we just caved into and appease our enemies they will suddenly like us more is beyond laughable considering these same enemies of freedom basically put the "L" sign on their heads when talking to Obama.

Yes, the "post turtle" has been meeting ALL of my expectations, but in passing a budget that has a $1.8 trillion deficit without a single debate on how to pay for it all and releasing the interrogation memos, he is actually exceeding them.

You cannot fabricate the level of gross incompetence and ignorance that currently infests the Congress and White House. But hey, I expect you and your fellow Leftists to continue pointing to Bush and blaming him for everything from genital warts to why we were attacked on 9-11.

Carry on. :2wave:
 
Care to name a single country in the world that's government has derived legitimacy solely from US recognition?

The notion that a regime like Chavez which is almost universally seen as corrupt and illegitimate can suddenly gain legitimacy because Obama was conciliatory to them is to be ignorant of the past 100 years of political international relations.

How trite, yet after this fabulous coup of making Obama look like an idiot (I am beginning to think it is his natural state), Chavez’s book sales skyrocketed (I imagine mostly bought up by Liberal leftists who now wanted to see the blueprint of how to insult America first hand.)

Chavez effectively showed the world that NOT only could he slap the American President in the face by walking over and handing him a book in Spanish whom Obama could not read, but what a dunce Obama was to shake the hand of the thug who handed him a book filled with rabid lunatic anti-American rantings.

How funny and ironic to watch the Liberal leftists who couldn't resist fabricating lies and distortions about Bush’s record on the ignorant belief that he stole an election, yet can now desperately defend this act of buffoonery by the Community Organizer.

It was a profoundly embarrassing moment for the Community Organization of the United States, and was a moment of awkwardness that only an arrogant imbecile would make by thinking that our enemies only hated us because of Bush.

Slap an "L" on Obama, Pelosi and Reid, they are soooooo done. :roll:
 
:roll:
Tell me, do you think it was a bad idea for FDR to meet with Stalin? For Nixon to meet with Mao? For Reagan to meet with Gorbachev? For Bush to meet with King Abdullah al-Saud?

Comparing Obama shaking the hand of an ass pimple like Chavez who handed him a book in Spanish containing anti-American garbage to FDR and Stalin, Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev and Bush with King Abdullah is beyond laughable, it is hysterical.

Do you REALLY honestly think that there are any similarities?

But hey, I understand the desperation when trying to defend the stupidity of this President and the Democrats who infest our congress with the rabid ignorance. :rofl
 
It's as if some people think that blowing up everything and shooting everything that moves will solve our problems.

I am always amused how Liberals and Leftists fabricate dramatic descriptions of events that never occurred to support their hysterically naive notions about negotiating and foreign policy. It is almost as trite and simplistic as their notions of economics.

Oh wait, perhaps you will now claim you are not a Liberal or a Leftist! Another fascinating fantasy evolved in denial.

Carry on. :rofl

Quit being such a bloviating, dishonest dork. You have no idea what I said or how I felt about Bush over the last "eight years." You only know what was said since you've been here. And when it came to discuss some of W's actions in True Debate you fled like a coward. So don't even attempt to go here now.

I guess now that you "cashed in" on your bile, you will now continue your despicable attempts to impugn the previous administration to hide the massive incompetence and gross negligence of the ones currently in power whom you agree with.
Translation: WAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I don't like it when you guys say mean things about my hero! But let me say bad things about Obama!!!

No whining Truth Detector? :rofl

Yes you can, W did it. And I only blame Bush for things that have been proven he's guilty of.

Grab a tissue now TD, it's only gonna get worse for you.
 
I would like to elaborate on this comment and correct it: "But the people who tend to say this sort of thing rarely, if indeed ever....have any FACTS to support their wild eyed purely partisan political divisive RHETORIC."

I'd like to see you do more than just regurgitate the same hyperpartisan diarrhea you typically grace us with. Maybe actually make a logical argument, not just whine.

I see you still don't want to go anywhere near my argument. Quit being such an intellectual ***** for once and actually debate intelligently.

Do you REALLY honestly think that there are any similarities?

Stalin, Mao, and Abdullah were/are considerably MORE brutal dictators than Chavez. As you said, Chavez is just an "ass pimple." So I fail to see why you would support the other meetings with far nastier characters while opposing this one.

Please, enlighten me on the differences that make meeting with Chavez tantamount to legitimizing him, whereas meeting with those other figures was savvy foreign policy. :confused:

What profound irony watching you complain about bloviating.

So are you trying to say you didn’t spew your typical vitriol about Bush for the last eight years just because I wasn’t here to witness? Is this the same as suggesting that if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, it doesn’t make a sound?

Once more you pretend to feign bravery in the face of True Debates. So let’s put the FACTS out there so that you can stop spewing your simplistic lies about how BRAVE you are in debate.

You challenged me to a True Debate where you were going to attempt to PROVE that Bush lied us into the war in Iraq; I accepted.

After challenging me, and my being fairly new to the forum and having no clue how one sets up a “true debate” and relying on your vast DP knowledge; you failed to set up the debate then claimed I ran from the debate.

Then after your gross incompetence not being able to set up the debate, which I think was more about being a coward on your part knowing you would get your arsh kicked, you claimed I ran away. Unfortunately at the time I fell for the typical Liberal baiting that goes on here and got infracted and suspended, but I was more than happy to debate with you. However, you saw as an opportunity to stick your tail between your legs and run away.

So please Lerx, stop your farcical false rhetoric, it only makes you look much more pathetic than you already do. Take your whiney blather to the basement where it is apparent you are much more comfortable and spare us your drivel up here.

Translation: WAAAAAAAAA!!!!! I don't like it when you guys say mean things about my hero! But let me say bad things about Obama!!!

Do you want some cheese with your whine? The only ones I see doing all the whining in the regular forums and the basement are people like you who wouldn’t know a FACT if it walked up and introduced itself to you. Is there anything I am saying that is false about Obama; NO!

Yes you can, W did it. And I only blame Bush for things that have been proven he's guilty of.

Bush was proved guilty of something? Do share with us what is it Bush was “proved” guilty of; it should be quite humorous watching more of your farcical versions of reality and the truth.

Grab a tissue now TD, it's only gonna get worse for you.

No Lerx, it is becoming so much worse for you and your fellow Liberals who desperately attempt to defend the rabid stupidity infesting the Democrat party and which with each passing day becomes more readily apparent to vaster majorities of Americans with time.

You’ll be needing a case of tissues handy before the end of this morons first term as your vote for this loser continues to haunt Americans who are now already saddled with enough debt to last the next TWO generations and with more to come; that is assuming we don’t get our arshes blown up by more terrorist attacks now that we have made life safer for them to carry out their diabolical plans.

Carry on.

FDR and Stalin were allies against the Nazis fighting WWII; Nixon had to deal with Mao fighting a war in Vietnam started by Democrats; Reagan dealt with Gorbachev to prevent a nuclear holocaust and Bush dealt with King Abdullah, because he is a major ally of ours in the Middle East while we fight two wars over there.

I am hardly surprised that you choose to avoid the VAST differences between Chavez humiliating a naive moron like Obama in a Conference and what these men did of great import.

If I were an Obama supporter, I guess I would have to grasp at tiny straws as well to explain away his embarrassing malfeasance. I reiterate: Comparing Obama shaking the hand of an ass pimple like Chavez who handed him a book in Spanish containing anti-American garbage to FDR and Stalin, Nixon and Mao, Reagan and Gorbachev and Bush with King Abdullah is beyond laughable, it is hysterical.

I suggest you stop before you embarrass yourself any more with such trivial and desperate efforts.
 
I see you still don't want to go anywhere near my argument.

Actually we were discussing gun control, John Lennon, the Brady Bill. Obama, the AWB. James Brady/James Baker...they both worked for Reagan. I know it's far too deep for you to grasp, how that could possibly happen.

I still see the yellow streak down your back as you run away GottaHurt. It's quite pronounced now.
 
I am always amused how Liberals and Leftists fabricate dramatic descriptions of events that never occurred

Never occurred?

So you're telling me that we've never used war as a tool of hard power?

Going down the delusional path again eh TD?

It is almost as trite and simplistic as their notions of economics.

Agreed. Your understanding of economics and inter-business relationships is appalling. After all, you said my description of the underlying financial crisis was garbage despite numerous people of both sides thanking me for clearing it up and asking recommendations on how to fix it.

Oh wait, perhaps you will now claim you are not a Liberal or a Leftist! Another fascinating fantasy evolved in denial.

Carry on. :rofl

I'm a pragmatist. Not a whackjob. I can't say that about most people here.

You've been obliterated from every angle in this thread. You had no legitimate argument to begin with, then got all willy-nilly confused and tried to blame me for diversionary tactics while you were at your guitar hero lesson.

You popped in to talk **** and then popped back out. Your own trolling got you in trouble. You didn't even try. There was even joking discussion that you got suspended on purpose.

Boohoo...TD doesn't like Obama...blah blah blah...meanwhile....
FOX News Poll: Obama's First 100 Days
A majority of Americans approve of the job President Obama is doing, are satisfied with what he has accomplished so far and think he is keeping his promises, according to a FOX News poll of Obama's first 100 days.


As Barack Obama closes in on his first 100 days as president, majorities of Americans approve of the job he is doing, are satisfied with what he has accomplished so far and think he is keeping his promises, according to a FOX News poll released Friday.

Obama's job approval rating comes in at 62 percent, down just three points from the 65 percent approval he received after his first week in office. Twenty-nine percent of Americans disapprove.

In addition, most people say Obama is doing a better job than they expected (26 percent) or meeting expectations (56 percent). Few say he is doing worse than expected (16 percent).

The president's approval is nearly identical to the job rating George W. Bush received at the same point in his first term, as 63 percent of Americans approved and 22 percent disapproved (April 18-19, 2001). One noticeable difference is that approval of Obama is much more divided along partisan lines today than Bush's ratings were eight years ago.
