The Bush administration mobilized five new government groups to track events in Cuba after leader Fidel Castro's ceding of power on July 31.

The groups, some of which operate in a war-room-like setting, were quietly set up after the July 31 announcement that the ailing Cuban leader had temporarily ceded power to a collective leadership headed by his brother Raúl, U.S. officials have told The Miami Herald.

U.S. officials say three of the newly created groups are headed by the State Department: diplomatic actions; strategic communications and democratic promotion. Another that coordinated humanitarian aid to Cuba is run by the Commerce Department, and a fifth, on migration issues, is run jointly by the National Security Council and the Department of Homeland Security.

Many members of the groups work out of the same State Department office in what one person familiar with the operation described as a ``control room.''

The creation of the post also underlined the national security importance of Cuba and Venezuela. Only Iran and North Korea -- both perceived as nuclear threats -- currently have similar U.S. mission managers overseeing them. Three other managers oversee counterterrorism, counterintelligence and counterproliferation.

the gang sure is hot to take over Cuba.

I hope Cubans are just as hot to not let them.

1. They are just sitting around jacking off

and will have nothing to do for years.

2. There are three things going on in that room and one that isn't:

These are rewarding loyalists with jobs.
They are plotting how they will take over Cuba.
They are designing future profits for their corporations and loyalists.

They are not figuring out how to guard against the vast military of Venezuela and Cuba.

One of these days they are going to tell us that Cuba and Venezuela have been conspiring to take over our government and they have proof of a meeting in Prague and letters proving that they are supplied and ready with all the worst weapons to destroy Miami and Washington.
