I'm I the only one who's heard of this? Giving back Guantanamo to Cuba. SOON. Deal in the making with Haiti. (Dominican content) How will this effect US tourism and investment here?
Providing this crap is true..
IMO, closing gitmo and moving prisoners to Haiti will gain that nation US dollars, DR might get radar intelligence for drug intervention and Cuba/US will and an irony.
I seem to recall hearing about some building activity in the south west part of Haiti (where there is nothing.) You used to be able to see it pretty clearly on google earth, but it has since been fuzzed out a bit. (No doubt by the U.S. government) I believe there is not even a road to get to what they are building out there.
For the life of me, I can't find any info anywhere about the U.S. closing or returning the Navy base at Guantanamo to Cuba. All I can find is info about shutting down the detention center located on the base. (Basically, boarding up a few buildings.) Where do you find the info about shutting down the Navy Base?
Why in the world would the U.S give back a strategic piece of land on Cuban soil?
Remember the Cuban missile crisis in the early 60's? It is a military base.The U.S has a foothold and they will never ever give it back.
Can you post a link? A think this would be a fantastic idea, at least for me and the Haitian people because we would both get a whole lot of work because of it. You just made my day!

I don't want to start a debate on it. It was something I overheard in a conversation between people that were looking forward to going back to Haiti to open a school. (Not Haitians) Appeared to be serious and that they knew what they were talking about. Both having spent years in Haiti and from what I gathered were close to US military. I just wanted to know if anybody else had heard or read on the subject. Have to admit a US base in Haiti would solve both the Haitian and Dominican problems. But might seriously harm the tourism in this country.
Why could a US military base in Haiti hurt tourism in the DR?
I also "overheard in a conversation" that there are plans for a major airport near Monte Cristi but on the Haitian side of the boarder. Anybody who knows more about this?
Commonwealth of Haiti territory of the USA
You just made my day!
