Cuba's revolutionary leader, 89, says he will die soon
Daily Mail ^ | 19 April 2016 | By Associated Press

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro delivered a valedictory speech Tuesday to the Communist Party that he put in power a half-century ago, telling party members he will soon die and exhorting them to help his ideas survive.

'I'll be 90 years old soon,' Castro said in his most extensive public appearance in years, adding: 'Soon I'll be like all the others.'

He went on: 'The time will come for all of us, but the ideas of the Cuban Communists will remain as proof on this planet that if they are worked at with fervor and dignity, they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need, and we need to fight without a truce to obtain them.'

Castro spoke as the government announced that his brother Raul will retain the Cuban Communist Party's highest post alongside his hardline second-in-command.

Didn't Lenin have a b'day recently?

They can stuff Castro and create a mausoleum in his honor.

At 89 anyone could say they are going to due soon and have a 99% chance of being right.

they can produce the material and cultural goods that human beings need,

So then why do they want us to lift the embargo if they can produce what they need?

That is, like all the others he murdered.
