Fidel Castro Praises Obama's Nobel Win

Former Cuban leader says award is a "positive measure"

Former Cuban Leader Fidel Castro celebrated President Obama's controversial Nobel Peace Prize win early Saturday, saying the commander in chief's honor was a "positive measure" that was intended to criticize past U.S. leaders -- not Obama's achievements in particular. Castro wrote in a column for Cuban media that he didn't generally agree with the Nobel Committee's decisions but that their choice on Obama was one he could throw his support behind. "I'm obligated to recognize that in this instance it was, in my judgment, a positive measure," he wrote.

The former leader indicted past U.S. administrations for their "genocidal policies," saying Obama should be celebrated for his divergent politics.

"Many will say that he still hasn't earned the right to receive such distinction. We prefer to see in the decision, more than a prize for the president of the United States, a criticism of the genocidal policies that not a few presidents of that country have followed," he wrote.

Of course he did, as will Chavez and the rest. Since they couldn’t figure out how to neuter Obama in the way proposed open-mic by Jesse Jackson, this is the next best way to keep the US in check and ideally, reduce us to their level.

Even on life support Fidel gets. OTH, the US media just thinks it was Zero's winning achievements and personality in the first 12 days of his term that bought him this award.

Odd Fidel that you think we should feel bad about our historic mistakes yet you have no pangs about your murderous policies and prisons full of political prisoners.

Al Wala Wa al Baraa! Meaning:

Al Wala: simply means allegiance, loyalty, closeness, affinity, unity and affiliation with Muslims overtly and covertly (suras 49:10 & 8:72).

Baraa: is to both renounce and denounce, that is to reject, abhor, censure, deplore, criticize and condemn all non-Islamic customs, teachings, practices, traditions and festivals; to treat all non-Muslim heritage and lifestyle as sinful and abhorrent. It it to hate and hold enmity towards all non-Muslims generally, but particularly towards Jews and Christians. This is mandatory on every Muslim.

This kuffar (nonbeliever) is currently studying how our Indonesian Wahabi educated President can maintain his current duplicitous role when his sole is driven by the aforementioned "Doctrine of Allegiance and Rejection".

Why would Fidel not praise the work of a fellow traveler who is busily engaged in the destruction of the United States??

Well, thank goodness someone has the good manners to stand up and applaud the awarding to the President of the Nobel Peace Prize, an if I may say, overdue honor!

It’s at times like this that Obama will see who his real friends are, and the rest of us will see, too!

Congratulations, Mr. O!

Curtis LeMay, George Patton and the fictional Jack D. Ripper. How I wish these 3 guys were running this country.
