#3 So they are going to show us what they have. That way the planners will know exactly what -- and how much -- they need to set aside for the invasion. I think the correct response here is, "Thanks!"

#6 Washington should closely observe Cubaâs military prowess and civil defenses

Perhaps we should send them some high resolution pictures to show them just how closely we observe. You know, the one's with big "X" marks on them.

#7 El Jeffe, the navy has sortied out, threatened the Florida coast, and defected. What should we do now?

#14 Look, You guys can make light of this all you want, but if I were you, any nation that can not only keep a '59 Buick running after all these years BUT ALSO make it seaworthy for a maritime run at the Florida coast is one that warrants some serious attention. (NOT!)
