The same doctor who did claim that Chavez was losing ground against cancer not that long ago when, in fact, he's still kickin' and rockin'? Not sure it's a reliable source under the circumstances.

Such secrecy all the time regarding Castro's health.

You'd think things will change when he dies....... when it fact, they won't.
Brother Raul will ensure a seamless transition within the Castro family.
Hell.... he's likely running things now anyway.

Soon Cuba will be free again! Cuba Libre!!!

He is running things. Mind you, I don't like anyone gloating over Fidel's state if true. The man is no saint, but he has done a lot of good things for Cuba and resisted Yankee imperialism.

I find it ironic that someone like Lyle is suggesting that a nation might become free. Free for what? US corporations to divide and conquer? To advise on how to privatize healthcare? etc etc Keep it within your own borders. It is none of your business.

Agree 100%. He is hated by the U.S. because he will not sell his people into Salvery.

.....no he's hated by the US because he's a tyranical leader of a Communist Nation that once parked nuclear missles 90 miles off our coast and the sooner he dies the sooner everyone can go piss on his grave!


And miles so South Korea has 0 ghettos? 0 poor people? 0 violence? Or are you going to abstain once again from allying yourself with a nation because you're an idealist but also a chickenshit. You keep pushing buttons with the Americans and I simply ask for your alternative....should we be more like Cuba? I mean your argument is that the US should do something other than what it is presently doing so should we be more like Cuba or South Korea or England or "Miles-ville" where there are Unicorns and Gumdrop houses and the wealthy are drawn and quartered for fun every hour on the hour?

Yes. No saint as you say but he has achieved some remarkable things given the circumstances. Also, as you say, Raul has been running things for a while now anyway. But if and when Fidel dies many observers feel that Raul's anti-US position will soften somewhat.

Fidel is a great man and created the boxing amateur dynasty.
