Fidel Castro marked his 89th birthday Thursday by insisting the United States owes Cuba "many millions of dollars" because of the half-century-old American trade embargo.

Now what could possibly go wrong?
What’s true is that fidel owes Cuba and its innocent inhabitants billions to compensate for all he’s stolen from them to pad his secret accounts. To fidel, if you want the millions, come take ‘em.
Castro’s phrase is like an arsonist burning down his own building and suing the insurance companies if they don’t pay out. 50+ years of communism impoverished what was the richest country in Latin American with a stronger economy than a number of European countries. Fidel and his commies buddies deserve a rope for what they’ve done.
Yes, too bad there wasn't a Cuban Pinochet. The Bay Of Pigs was the best chance, and we let those people down.
JFK let those people down.
Now it looks like he’ll outlive Carter.
Investing money in a communist country would be like trying to grow oranges at the north pole.
I believe that Obama as one of his final acts will return Guantanamo to Cuba with the excuse that the 99 year lease has expired
Go to Hell, Castro!
Castro owes us for the seized American assets in 1959 and costs of the crime wave and incarceration costs for the Mariel boatlift in 1980 ( thanks, Jimmah Carter)
Carter deserves to live forever.

Castro, we should have killed the bastard, should never have stopped trying.

Can’t find an English lang video with decent sound, Fox has them taken down.
Burns: Now give it back.
Castro: Give what back?
