Basicly, the former US-backed dictatorship granted the US an open-ended lease; the Cuban government does not recognise it, but knows it can do nothing about it; at some time in the future, when the US comes to terms with Cuba, the base will be handed back. Pretty unlikely while Bush and Castro are still around!

Answer 2

The U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay is there because when Fidel Castro dies, Cuba will probably become unstable. Revolution would break out and the U.S. would be able to possibly create a democratic form of government and remove the only communist regime in the Western Hemisphere.
However, if Castro's brother Raul (the vice president) were to take control of the government, communism would continue in Cuba.

Answer 3

It goes back to an agreement we made after the Spanish-American War. Cuba got independence, we got a Naval Base. It is a perpetual agreement which terminates only if the US abandons it or if both we and Cuba agree to terminate the lease.

Answer 4

Yankee land, has that base, because it is a good place for torture center, far away from the press, and spy Cuba, in case of invasion it is the best place to place many combat units.

Answer 5

We paid and leased it for so many years.
It is American Soil until our lease runs out.

Remember when Clinton did, or wanted to, lease our closed-down-Naval Bases to China?
Same thing.

Answer 6

We leased it for 100 years. The lease is not up yet.

Answer 7

Russia started the cubian missle crisis we decided to put one there.
