Castro: U.S. Infecting Cuba With Swine Flu

Fidel Castro has found something to sneeze at in Washington's decision to ease visits by Cuban-Americans to his island: He says more Americans mean more swine flu.

The 83-year-old ex-president wrote in state-controlled newspapers on Saturday that many of Cuba's early cases of the virus were visitors from the United States and he used the occasion to take a jab at the U.S. embargo.

"We had the strange case where the United States on one hand authorized more trips for a large number of people carrying the virus, and on the other prohibited us from obtaining equipment and medicine to combat the virus," Castro said.

"Better put some ice on that."

The head swine (flu) has infected Cuba since 1959. Hey, Fidel, do us all a favor and die.

U.S. Infecting Cuba With Swine Flu

Well, I'm not totally convinced the U.S. is not infecting the U.S. with swine flu... the U.S. is certainly infecting the U.S. with swine flu hype.

Considering the kind of Americans who love to frequent that country, I’m surprised El Maximo isn’t more concerned about syphilis.

[SlowBoat407]

Would twere that it were.

[eclecticEel]

Come now, Castro, you live in a worker’s paradise. You don’t need equipment and medicine from us; your superior Michael Moore approved medical system will provide you with everything you need.

[Gator113]

Well then, we must owe Cuba billions and billions in reparations. By all means, Obama, send them the free money.

The only thing Cuba is infected with is Communism. The only certain cure is freedom. It’s a shame that Washington, D.C has come down with the same malady as Havana, but the prescription remains the same.

Payback for the Muriel Boat Lift.

Castro: U.S. Infecting Cuba With Swine Flu

Can I say it?

"That is s***-house rat crazy ..."

[cripplecreek]

Yep, left wing actors are really CIA operatives sent to infect the Cuban people. If I were Cuba, I would grab them and hospitalize them for everybody’s safety.

[reefdiver]

It was better when it was Bushes fault. Even the looney left would believe it. & CBS would lead with it on the news.

I miss the old days

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Does Cuba’s pig farms still have African Swine Sickness?

If anyone should be able to recognize something involving swine, Fidel’s the guy.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Castro already infected Cuba with swine.

[Mygirlsmom]

Shelia Jackson Lee says people die from Swine Flu because we do not have a robust Public Option in America. Since Cuber has government run Health Care they are automatically protected from any and all harm. I wonder if people even die there at all?

[Young Werther]

Hasn't he ever heard?

Juan Flu Over the Cuckoo Nest!

[1000 silverlings]

He’s forgetting he opened up the prisons and maybe the insane asylums and sent them to us some years ago

LOL!

Ground Zero at the Bay of Pigs?

[KarlInOhio]

Our new attack at the Bay of Coughing Pigs.

Would this be like when we steered hurricanes over his Island Paradise years ago?
