Fidel May Not be Fatally Ill After All

Just last week there were reports that Cuban leader Fidel Castro was on his deathbed, again. A delegation of U.S. lawmakers are being told an entirely different story however.
Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said all the Cuban officials they spoke to during the three-day trip that ended Sunday told them the 80-year-old leader’s “illness is not cancer, nor is it terminal, and he will be back.”
No one has seen Fidel since the middle of the summer.
The real deal is that the truth won’t be known until one fo two things happen: Fidel shows face or he actually does pass. Until then all these reports amount to nothing more than static on radio bemba.

US Passes on Invite to Cuba Summit

The United States has decided to officially pass on an invite to the upcoming Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit.
Michael Parmly said the United States had not taken up an invitation to attend the summit of 116 developing nations as an observer as it has in the past, noting that Washington had a better relationship with previous host Malaysia than it does with communist Cuba.
Expected to attend the summit are reps from U.S. “enemy” nations such as Iran, Syria, North Korea and Venezuela. Another country expected to represent is India. The summit is expected to endorse Iran’s nuclear energy program, comdemn the Israeli bombing of Lebanon and criticize U.S. sanctions on Cuba.
U.S. Makes Post-Castro Plans
12 Jul 2006
Dead or alive, the United States government is making big plans for what will happen in Cuba after Fidel Castro. On Monday, in a meeting led by Secretary of State Condoleeza Rica and Cuban exile Commerce Secretary, Carlos Gutiérrez, it was announced that the U.S. could “rehabilitate” a post-Castro Cuba in 18 months, as long as the transition government was willing to faciliate a democratic change. Hmmmm why does this sound so familiar? Oh yeah now I remember it’s the same lines that were and continue to be given to defend the occupation of Iraq. But wait, it gets better.
