      Cuba says Castro's life not in danger

      Posted by Billbar from Reuters

Monday's news that the 79-year-old Castro was undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal bleeding set off street parties in Miami by Cuban exiles who yearn for the demise of the West's only communist government.

      Posted by Billbar from San Jose Mercury News

      In a stunning development, Cuban leader Fidel Castro temporarily ceded presidential power to brother Ra�l Castro due to ''an intestinal crisis with sustained bleeding'' that required ''complicated surgery,'' according to a letter read Monday night on Cuban television. In South Florida, where the Cuban exile community has awaited such news for decades, word of Monday night's developments swept through the region and something very close to jubilation reigned in Little Havana and elsewhere.

    Castro resigns as president, state-run paper reports

    So much for fighting them there, so we don’t have to fight them here. Cuba’s right on America’s doorstep, so to speak. Florida might get invaded…

    The fascists in the U.S. have been praying for this. Perhaps Iran will take a back seat to the annexation of Cuba as the Bush administration has promised its funders.

    CIA documents point to massive and ongoing government criminality

    No big surprise that there isn’t an iota of outrage in the United States about this.
