If he's not dead now, he soon will be. They would not be playing it this way if he was on his road to recovery.

Interesting, though, that their "guns are oiled." They must be expecting a revolution.

There is no more 'stable' condition than dead.

There was a small increase in police presence in poorer parts of Havana and communist neighborhood groups said that "rapid response groups" used to put down riots in the past had been activated.

Riots? Riots?

What have they got to riot about?

They have the best literacy rate in the world and they have FREE Health Care.

The Upper Class has been taxed into extinction, except for Castro and his friends. There is NO job that Cubans won't do so that is the ONLY reason illegal immigrants don't go there since there are no jobs for them.

It's F'n Paradise!

I would think that by now, there has been a well-organized "underground" waiting for this very time to remove the commies from power, if that is possible. In Cuba it will get down to who has the most guns and fighters, controls the "government" or should I say, IS the government.

I also noticed that comment when reading the article.

I'd like to see a revolution take place when Castro's death is announced - a full-scale revolt.

But I'm afraid it won't happen. Castro's security forces are too good at rooting out dissent AND dissenters.

Any uprising, armed or peaceful, would be put down relatively quickly.

Maybe the Cubans are working out some kind of Weekend at Bernie's thing with Castro's corpse. They probably plan on having his dead body running Cuba for another 5-10 years. Couldn't do any worse than the live, breathing version.

Here's the first pic smuggled out of Havana. Somebody should get this to the MSM:

As soon as Castro confirmed dead the CIA or someone should take out Raul. This would cause a revolution of some sort. It would be ugly.

Either that or Lenin. Put him in a glass box and make him a tourist attraction.

Castro is not in surgery at all. He is in rehab with Mel Gibson.

If he were alive, they'd have shown some videos of him in the hospital by now. That's SOP for American presidents who are seriously ill or injured, like Ike with his heart attack and Reagan after he was shot.

Bill Burkett faxed it to me from Texas. I think he just got back from Havana with Dan.

Just curious...If these doctors are operating on him, isn`t it possible they could create sort of a "complication" on this mutt to get rid of him once and for all? You know, like thin out one of his main ateries enough so it explodes the next time he strains himself. Are these doctors watched while they operate on Danny Glovers hero?
