Is it a strange coincidence that as the pResident wants better relationships with Cuba he wants Gitmo closed. How about as part of the deal we will give Cuba Gitmo? We will give them a nice prison facility to keep all of those Cubans that oppose their government? We will also give them weapons and lots of taxpayer money. Did I mention the boats we will give them they can use to send more refugees here with? And old Chevy car parts.
