Hmmm, you mean that to be a “blockade” you need to have the U.S. Navy stationed around the island and to be an “embargo” is just to use economic means to accomplish the same thing? Ah… I thought so… It isn’t lost to the whole world but the U.S. that the “embargo” only hurts the people of Cuba, not the elite. (I learned English, learn some Spanish, it won’t hurt you…)

The 17 leaders began discussing the Cuban issue at the start of the annual summit, prompting the U.S. Embassy in Madrid to object to the word ”blockade” instead of ”embargo.” Spanish officials countered that the word ”blockade” had been used in U.N. resolutions as well.
”We call on the United States of America to comply with that laid down in 13 successive resolutions approved by the General Assembly of the United Nations, and to bring an end to the economic, trade and financial blockade it maintains against Cuba,” one of a set of final statements said.
As for the UN Resolutions, good luck, for all they care about those around here, unless they sponsor them, of course…
Between semantics an hypocrisy…
