UNITED STATES: US plots Cuba invasion
Stuart Harrison
A US$80 million fund has been approved by US President George Bush to help the United States achieve “regime change” in Cuba.
The second report from the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba, released on July 5, outlines Washington’s plans to step up attacks on the island state’s sovereignty. It openly commits the US to assisting the creation of a transitional government that supports “genuine” democracy, “human rights” and an open-market system.
The report claims that the first 180 days after Cuban President Fidel Castro dies will be vital, and could mean the “difference between a successful transition period and the stumbles and missteps that have slowed other states in their transitions toward democracy”.
The $80 million is to be used as a part of a two-year program to break what the US describes as the “information blockade”, as well as preparations for the post-Castro transfer of power.
The report also raises Washington’s concerns over Cuba’s close relationship with the Venezuelan government, let by socialist President Hugo Chavez. “Together, these countries are advancing an alternative retrograde and anti-American agenda for the hemisphere’s future”, the report claims.
In a television interview, Cuban National Assembly president Ricardo Alarcon said the report was a “true threat of aggression” and that the Cuban people have the right to be worried about the contents of the report’s classified section.
Cuban government minister Bruno Rodriguez told the BBC on July 6 that the plans could not be achieved without a US invasion of Cuba.

Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba
The Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba released its second report on July 5, 2006. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reconvened the Commission for Assistance to a Free Cuba on December 19, 2005, sending an important message to the people of Cuba, the current dictatorship, and our friends and democratic allies: after 46 years of cruel dictatorship, now is the time for change in Cuba.
The Commission was reconvened to identify additional measures to help Cubans hasten the day when they will be free from oppression and to develop a concise but flexible strategic plan that will help the Cuban people move rapidly toward free and fair democratic elections. The Commission was tasked with preparation of a second report to the President with both updated recommendations to hasten democracy, and an inter-agency strategic plan to assist a Cuban-led transition.
This plan is not an imposition but rather is a promise we will keep with the Cuban people to marshal our resources and expertise, and encourage our democratic allies to be ready to support Cuba when the inevitable opportunity for genuine change arises. The work of the Commission will ensure that the U.S. Government is fully prepared, if asked, to assist a genuine Cuban transition government committed to democracy and which will lead to Cuba's reintegration into the inter-American system.
The formation of this Commission and release of this report underscore the Administration's continuing commitment to the Cuban people as well as its unwavering support for human rights, democracy, and the open market system. This will define and accelerate U.S. efforts to hasten a transition to democracy and create a framework for providing assistance to a newly democratic Cuba.
