Cuban President Raul Castro has issued new demands for normalizing relations with the U.S. He wants us to lift the trade embargo, remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terror and give Cuba the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay. Truly. You can look it up.

One can imagine President Obama being awfully tempted to give Guantanamo to them. He’s planning to close the prison there piecemeal anyway. And who needs naval bases these days when, as Obama schooled Mitt Romney, “We have these things called aircraft carriers now…”?
