How sad that the only knowledge that I have of this program is that President Feckless killed it…

HAVANA (Reuters) – The United States has turned off a news ticker at its diplomatic mission in Havana that long had irritated the Cuban government, the U.S. State Department said on Monday, in another sign of efforts to improve relations with Cuba.

The Bush Administration had installed a news ticker at the US diplomatic mission that streamed news to the Cubans.

The Cubans responded by putting billboards and flags in the way to try to block the view.

Feckless pulled the plug on the program, claiming it was not effective.

Obviously it was so ineffective that it “infuriated” Castro and caused him to try to put up flags to block the view.

Boy I miss Cowboy Diplomacy. This new apology diplomacy is depressing.
