Another fact straight from the sluice hole.
This is a known fact, but the little communist that you are will deny this.
FACT.
1. The USA said that it will recognize the Bishop administration if it held elections. Bishop decided to do so.
2. Hardliners in the NJM movement aligned with Castro objected, on the instructions from Castro.
3. Bishop knew that most Grenadians had benefitted, and was confident of victory.
4. The hardliners than moved to eliminate him, as they knew that Bishop, and not them were popular.
5. When they shot and killed Bishop in cold blood, Grenadians staged street marches. The hardliners shot and killed people in cold blood and staged a curfew.
6. When the US invaded, the majority of Grenadians welcomed them. Had the US invaded with Bishop in power they would have rejected them.
Now continue with your Nancy story that Castro didn't have anything to do with events in Grenada. In fact when the US invaded it was the Cubans and not Grenadians, who were shooting back!
