Bush seeks 'liberation' of post-Castro Cuba
US president George Bush will be committed during his second term in office to the “liberation of Cuba” by extending moral and political support to the communist nation’s people, a top State Department official says.
Roger Noriega, who heads the department’s Latin American bureau, also said that once Fidel Castro was no longer in power, the United States was ready to support broad economic and political reform in Cuba “to ensure that vestiges of the regime don’t hold on”.
