New State Dept. "Transition Coordinator" for Cuba

Hot off Jeb Bushs press release list.. the gall of these guys never ceases to....reaffirm my feelings.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THURSDAY, JULY 28, 2005              

Statement By:   GOVERNOR JEB BUSH

Regarding Transition Coordinator for Cuba

        TALLAHASSEE - “I applaud the President and his administration for its continued commitment to prepare for the day when Cuba joins the 34 democratic nations in the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s comments today demonstrate an abiding commitment to a free Cuba and to the Cuban people who remain oppressed under Castro’s tyranny.  

“As the home for the largest number of Cubans and Cuban-Americans in the United States, Florida has an interest in ensuring Cuba has a prompt end to despotism and a successful transition to democracy. Florida will continue to support President Bush and his administration as we proactively prepare for a post-Castro Cuba. I believe today’s announcement of Mr. Caleb McCarry, as Transition Coordinator will inject new vigor into our fight for a free Cuba.  

“I stand with the President, Secretary Rice and the hundreds of thousands of Cubans and Cuban-Americans living in Florida looking forward to a Cuba free from Castro and his oppression.”
