Bachmann warns of Hezbollah ‘missile sites’ in Cuba

Republican presidential candidate said Monday that it would be “foolish” to normalize trade with Cuba because Hezbollah could soon have “missile sites” there.

“Why would you normalize trade with a country that sponsors terror?” the candidate asked a crowd of supporters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “There is reports that have come out that Cuba has been working with another terrorist organization called Hezbollah. And Hezbollah is looking at wanting to be part of missile sites in Iran and, of course, when you are 90 miles offshore from Florida, you don’t want to entertain the prospect of hosting bases or sites where Hezbollah could have training camps or perhaps have missile sites or weapons sites in Cuba. ”

Bachmann was most likely basing her fear on an unsubstantiated report from the Italian publican Corriere della Sera, which was picked up by numerous conservative websites earlier this month (see here, here, here and here.)

Even if that report were true, it makes absolutely no mention of “missile sites.”

Bachmann then pivoted to explain that Republicans didn’t need to worry about picking the most electable nominee because the country had already decided not to re-elect President Barack Obama.

17. Not even a tenuous hold.

6. I don't know if it's her migraine medication but

that lunatic is a pathological LIAR

7. This Presidential candidate is on the House

Intelligence committee .............. no wonder this country is falling behind in intelligence

8. The fear card is so like yesterday

9. So for all those that are disgusted with Obama..Stay home on

election day and we might just get one of these crazies elected..Perry,Romney are no different than Bauchmann..I thought Bush was an idiot but these people make him look like a Phd..well maybe not that smart...maybe a GED

10. Sad but true

So many people stay home and not vote it is a national disgrace.

11. "Fuck, think of something fast to scare people about Cuba!"

"Uh, shit, say there are a bunch of missiles there that will hit the USA."
"Well, it's not like it's happened before, right?"
"Right."
"Hey, guys..."

13. She is truly a MORON or should I say... "Moran."

She is the poster child for ensuring that all get a quality education in this country instead of being pushed along in a substandard school...
She is truly an ignoramus!

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Ahhh, c'mon!

"Jumped the shark" doesn't even begin to describe this nonsense. We need some Bachmann specific term for going beyond the pale when one's popularity wanes.

Even more ridiculous is the notion that Castro will sign off on Hezbolla missile sites after we renew trade agreements with Cuba and the dollars begin flowing in. I can see Fidel now, wringing his hands and laughing demoniacally while he booms at no one in particular: "This'll teach me!".

Forget the White House, I don't know how this woman had the mental means to earn a congressional seat.

15. How about "Guano'd"?

[Contrary1]

16. I so love the 53 word sentences she and the Sarah regularly puke out.

What the hell did she say? Same as usual...

Reminds me of another famous politician: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCDoBvG1HoI

18. That woman is so stupid that she hurts my head. How can any person listen to her? nt

[demosincebirth]

19. I'd like to know the average IQ of her constituency or the ones who voted for her?

[ThoughtCriminal]

20. Gee, most of the missiles could almost reach

a third of the way to Key West. If the stories about the Zelzal-2 are true, they might be able to reach Key West with a few, but I doubt they could hit a target that small.

[MisterP]

21. everyone realizes that Reagan said Nicaragua was harboring the German and Japanese Red Armies,

Hezbollah, and the PLO

:rofl:

Really?! She is really that stupid?! OMFG!

23. I know I know, I am mean

but to show the problem I actually need a WORLD MAP... of course I have my doubts at this point Mrs. Bachman can read it.

military hardware to rival the USSR?
