U.S.: Talk of Cuban invasion 'absurd'
The [Cuban] government, under the control of Castro's brother, Defense Minister Raul Castro, has mobilized citizen defense militias and asked military reservists to check in daily.

The White House has insisted no such threat exists, with press secretary Tony Snow dismissing the suggestion that the United States would attack the island as "absurd."

You know, maybe it's just me, but it seems like an awful lot of absurd things have happened since George W. Bush took over. Like the World Trade Center getting blown to shit, war, the USA an international pariah, torture, fascism, rampant and unbridled corruption both in government and in commerce.

I don't blame the Cubans for being wary. After all, they've been listening to the screams coming from Gitmo at night for quite some time now.
