Tanks on the Streets, Party Congress Inside

APRIL 16, 2011

Today, while the Cuban people lack even running water, the Castro regime will be undertaking another one of its massive (and very expensive) military parades -- marking the 50th anniversary of the Bay of Pigs.

Not coincidentally, the military parade will simultaneously mark the beginning of the VI Communist Party Congress -- where a select group of people, chosen amongst themselves, approve the ultimate decisions of Cuban dictators Fidel and Raul Castro.

The imagery is important -- tanks on the streets outside, while the Communist Party elites gather inside.

The message to the people is very clear -- we rule, you obey (or else).

More "reform" you can't believe in.
