Castro: Al-Zarqawi Killing a 'Barbarity'

President Fidel Castro called the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a ``barbarity,'' saying he should have been put on trial.

The United States acted as ``judge and jury'' against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday.

``They bragged, they were practically drunk with happiness.''

``The accused cannot just be eliminated,'' he told a literacy conference. ``This barbarity cannot be done.''

The U.S. military has said al-Zarqawi initially survived the dropping of two 500-pound bombs on his hide-out Wednesday, but died a short time later.

Castro said if Cuba used the same logic, it could bomb the United States to kill its No. 1 enemy, Luis Posada Carriles, who is being held in El Paso, Texas on immigration charges.

I like to think the AP covers Fidel merely for our amusement. It can't be that they really think his senile rambling is newsworthy.

It figures that the DNC's Ass. Press would be interested in what Fidel the Murderer thought about the military taking out a fanatical, Islmic terrorist. Hey Fidel! "Kiss This!"

``This barbarity cannot be done.''

Yes, it can, and it was. This is f'n war, buddy.

they were practically drunk with happiness.''

When the piece of human garbage Castro passes from this earth to his judgment I will be popping the bubbly that night knowing the Good Lord will never soil his realm with the likes of that Communist dictator.

"The United States acted as ``judge and jury'' against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday."

Who acted as ``judge and jury'' in the beheading of Nicholas Berg?

[Donald Meaker]

If only Castro was a little bit better pitcher. Since he couldn't make it in baseball, he became a revolutionary.

I'm waiting for the echo from Venezuela and Bolivia.

BTW: I still can't find a download of Fidel doing his famous face plant. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I've never laughed so hard...

With what? Some clapped-out MiG-23?

Give it a shot Fidel. We could use a could use a good exscuse.

Next round's on me.

Nah, no sense boring our pilots. Let's wait until Hugo gets his Sukhois. ;)

Can you imagine Fidel having this conversation (with a straight face) with Che?

Me neither.

......better yet...maybe Castro will sleep walk his way into Gitmo to visit his buddies....he can have a nice warm cot.......

"Should we waste a 500lb JDAM on Castro?"

Naw. There's no need. A much cheaper gag would probably give him a heart attack.

[DTogo]

Ah, Castro's signed up to receive DNC Talking Points in Spanish!

[Kenny Bunkport]

We should have dropped a 500 pounder down Fidel's pants long ago.

[Mashood]

Let's just hope it was a barbarity.
