NO city in the world was infiltrated by the mob like Havana was -- as all part of their set up to run the whole country.<br />the mob ran havana, and that's what all that mattered.<br />read Havana Nights and then come back with something intelligent.<br /><br />the mob had batista in his back pocket, there is so much overwhelminig evidence.<br /><br />that's the problem with these gusanos; cuba was a paradise before castro, everyone was so happy that the americans ran everything. all was great, now all is bad. really sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851163370258594999.post-9036825704186765432009-05-11T16:16:00.000-04:002009-05-11T16:16:00.000-04:00Who here was calling Silvio a "bootlicker"?

Of course, Havana had gambling, but no more or less than any international city of the time, which Havana was. But it seems dopes want to believe the mythology that "the Mob" ran Cuba -- probably just a coincidence too that it serves the regime's purposes.<br /><br />chingonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
