For those hoping (and for those not) for a Fidel Castro comeback, both the US and Cuban officials are telling us not to hold our breath. US officials, claiming to base their prognosis on pictures (and not on inside on the ground spy info), think that Fidel has terminal cancer of the colon, stomach or pancreas and that this new year may be his last. Even Cuban officials have backed down from earlier predictions that put Castro back in power early next month, now refusing to speculate as to when or even if he will be back.

Fidel certainly doesn’t look healthy in recent pics and one couldn’t put it past the U.S. to exagerate or Cuba to downplay the real situation.
