Just 24 hours after Cuban dictator Raul Castro demanded a whole new series of concessions from the Obama Administration, U.S. Senators Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) sought to satisfy him.
President Obama already -- unilaterally and unconditionally -- handed over most of his leverage on December 17th, so Flake and Leahy had to step up to the plate.
Thus, they introduced legislation today to lift the tourism ban and provide the Cuban military with a cash windfall.
For those unaware, the Cuban military owns and operates the island's tourism industry -- hotels, restaurants, gas stations, car rentals, nightclubs, etc.
As a matter of fact, Hotels Magazine recently recognized the Cuban military as the largest hotel conglomerate in Latin America.
Tourism to Cuba's regime is akin to oil for Iran's.
And yet, that's exactly what Flake and Leahy seek to deliver on a golden platter.
