Cuban President Fidel Castro delivers a speech during a political rally in July 2006. A high-ranking Cuban official lashed out at the notion that President Fidel Castro or his acting stand-in, Raul Castro, should appear in public, and insisted there was no power void.(AFP/File/Miguel Rojo)

Here's one:

[rovenstinez]

Maybe Fidel shared his fears with Hugo Chavez, and that is why he has been doing some Globe Trotting, to kind of Step into the Shoes of Fidel Castro Russ

[arthurus]

And have we seen Raul lately? Surely there is much maneuvering going on in the hierarchy at the moment. Heads are rolling now and men try to watch their backs against their most trusted aides and allies.

Cubans were told in a statement attributed to Castro that most details of his health death would be kept "a state secret" to prevent the island's enemies from taking advantage of his condition.

There...... I fixed an error in the posting.

DIE, YOU POS, DIE!!!!!!

[goldstategop]

The Cuban's dictator's health is a "state secret." What have they got to hide from their own people? If he was alive and well, surely they'd want to let every one know, if only for the propaganda. So this secretiveness makes no sense whatsoever, unless in fact Fidel is dead and the Communist elite has no idea how to spread the news to the Cuban people and the world.

how are Cuba's hospitals??? i have a cousin with the same problem. she was treated in a hospital in Missoula Montana but they could not handle and had to rush her to Seattle. please say a prayer for her

We got pictures of Ronald Reagan in the hospital after he was shot. No picutres of the great and glorious Fidel after his surgery. It smells.

[Popman]

It takes a while to prepare the body for embalming like Lenin.

I saw a documentary that it took the Russians like a month to get him so well embalmed to look life like.

Castro deserves at least the same as Lenin. < /sar >

Here's hoping its' 2 down, 1 to go..

The real question is whether he will be able to resume Dictator duties. Unless he is going to live to 160 he will be stepping down in the not too distant future no matter what.

No photos of Castro since his surgery

They're not done yet with the touchups...

No photos of Castro since his surgery

That makes sense. After all, it's quite difficult to take photographs of a man while he's buried six feet under.

[Lancey Howard]

[Tall_Texan]

Most Cubans (under threat of violence) have insisted that they are sure Castro will recover

I hate it when the media omits relevant facts.
