"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," Castro tells an American journalist when asked whether the Cuban economic and political system was worth exporting.
WASHINGTON – Cuba’s Fidel Castro used an interview with a U.S. magazine to urge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to abandon Holocaust denial and refrain from “slandering” Jews and confess that the Cuban model doesn't work.
Castro, whose recent public pronouncements have been dominated by warnings that a U.S. or Israeli attack on Iran could spark a nuclear war, invited a journalist with The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to Havana to discuss the writer’s recent article on Israel and Iran.
In the first installment of several Atlantic articles on their exchanges, Castro told Goldberg that the Iranian government must understand the consequences of anti-Semitic theology.
...
In the second installment from a series of meetings with Castro, Goldberg says Castro was asked whether the Cuban economic and political system was worth exporting.
"The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore," Castro responded. He didn't expand on the comment.
The “Cuban Model” of communism worked great for Fidel when the Russians were giving Cuba gazillions of dollars to keep his regime afloat.
Isn’t it something how they once again go to their tried and true “It’s the U.S. fault” card? If it wasn’t for the “evil” U.S. trade embargo, Cuba would be in great shape right now, don’t you know?
I think the best might be this little gem:
Um, anyone know which model DOES work these days?
Truth beknown, it never worked for ya, especially after the fall of the Soviet Union......CastroIdiot. =.=
Psst...Hey Fidel...gots a secret fer ya...
The Russian model didn’t work so well either, ya stupid proletarian j*rkoff...
Another one of my goals soon to be met:
Goal #1. Outlive Teddy Kennedy: Check
Goal #2. Outlive John Murtha: Check
Goal #3. Outlive Jimmy Carter: Working on it...
Goal #4. Outlive Lautenberg: Working on it...
Goal #5: Live to See Saddam Hussein dancing on a rope, taken on a surrepetitious cell phone camera: CHECK! (enjoyed it, too).

Goal #n: Live long enough to see Fidel assume room temperature and become worm food: Working on it.
A man’s GOT to have goals.
Was that mean? Harsh? Do I care? Lemme think fer a minute...Nah
My goal list is the same as yours,except you forgot to mention Jane Fonda.
“..Meanwhile, in other news, Sean Penn’s head explodes...”
One can “hope”...what nice imagery!
No I didn’t...she’s somewhere in the : : : part...
She is a real POS. That guy that publically hocked a tobacco loogie on her s few years back is a personal hero of mine.
Loved it.
But hey...that’s just me being me, brother.
Maybe he could come talk to our radical liberal elite...
And the sun comes up in the West...
Sorry, I meant to say top down on the Castro Convertible. But if he did convert — like other who are pro Jewish and have turned from communism (Horowitz, Kristol, Podhoretz) — could he be labeled a neocon?
The Tito regime killed in cold blood some 1,700,000
to 1,800,000 people, mainly collaborators and anti-communists.
This range includes the dead from camps, massacre, anti-
communist fighting, and communist executions.
Sorry, but If that is not communism what is?
3 million battle dead, 2 million murdered.
May it NEVER happen again.
Too little, too late.
An interesting development nevertheless. I wonder what’s up with that.
I wonder if Fidel now regrets having JFK put away?
He owes us a suicide.
