Is he also going to stop killing and torturing his own people?

I guess since Castro does that, too, it's morally A-OK.

[Fractal Trader]

But I thought Saddam didn't have any of these weapons. How could he possibly destroy something which he doesn't admit exist?

[Dog Gone]

Well, at least Castro seems to have come out more forecefully than Jimmy Carter.

[Sam Cree]

Since Israel is a socialist nation, and since most arab nations are right wing in the classical sense of the word, that is to say, monarchies and personal dictatorships, you'd think Castro would be siding with Israel.

Must not really be about the greater good, etc., I guess.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Yeah ole fidel you's dictators will burn up all your garbage empty missles to continue your tyrannies.

[Salman]

It looks like old Fidel is getting worried about being classified as "axis of evil" instead of just "embargoed Commie".

When I was in college, some group (not Cubans or other Hispanics) put up a bunch of posters that read:

¡CUBA LIBRE! ¡VIVA FIDEL!

I took my felt-tip and modified some of them so they read:

¡CUBA no sería LIBRE! ¡mientras VIVA FIDEL!

Everyone but the Cubans were angry.

[Grampa Dave]

Tio Fidel said: CUBAN President Fidel Castro has urged Baghdad to destroy "the last cubic centimetre of chemical or biological weapons" to remove any pretext Washington might have to attack it.

Translation: Immediately, destroy any chemical or biological weapons that we made for you in Cuba.

I want to live the rest of my life as a rich communist dictator without worrying about President Bush whacking me for selling you WMDs.

It has been nice to know you as a cash cow, Saddam. However, please don't write or phone me.

Adios Mofo!

"...the statement from Castro lasted only three hours, a minimal time for the murderous dictator"

[Illbay]

He slammed Washington for closing its eyes to atomic weapons held by Israel having provided the means for their transportation.

Does Castro have any examples where Israel has threatened aggression against a neighbor? Even though they do slaughter innocents from time to time (Israel had a particularly tough week this week) I don't think they have used nerve agents against Palestinians as Saddam has against the Kurds.

So is there really an "equivalence" here?

[Luis Gonzalez]

This from the guy who allowed the USSR to build ICBM launch facilities in Cuba, put TWO anti-aircraft units on top of the apartment building where I lived so that he could accuse the "Yankee Imperialists" of murdering innocent civilians should there be an invasion, and then BEGGED the Soviets to launch a first strike during the October crisis.

Fidel, I'm going to live long enough to dance on your grave maricón.

Bet on that.

[ScholarWarrior]

He's feeling left out.

Let's be inclusive in our diversity and add Castro to the LIST:

Iraq
Iran
North Korea
Saudi Arabia
Somalia
France
Colombia
Venezuela
Cuba
China
It'll take a few years...some will go by revolution, some by war, some by changing policy.

I can't wait until this cockroach in our hemisphere is finally at room temp.

[BossLady]

"CUBAN President Fidel Castro has urged Baghdad to destroy "the last cubic centimetre of chemical or biological weapons"

Isn't sad to think even CASTRO believes Saddam has WOMD but we have US peaceniks marching and picketing saying there's no such thing?!

Has the world gone crazy or what????? :o

[AFreeBird]

Iraq "is not in a position, militarily speaking, to constitute the least risk to US security or of their allies in the region", Castro said.

Well Fidel O'l buddy; its not about his military threat. It is his buddies, sympathizers and supporters in Al Quaida, Islamic Jihad, PLO/PLA, Hamaz et al, that are the greatest risk, and we intend to make the world a very small place for them.

A very small place indeed.

6x6' cells or 6x3' graves. Their choice.

[Centurion2000]

Wow ...even Castro figured out that it's nice wise to mess with this President.

What a slap in the face to Clinton (albeit indirectly)

[xm177e2]

Castro telling Saddam to stop: this ranks right up there with Greece supporting Turkey's claim to defensive aid from NATO members. It's mad, mad, mad, mad world.

[weegee]

(on reverse of photo postcard - above):

Dear Saddam! If I was there I would kiss your armpits.

I see that you have met with my good friend, the evil pig-American Dan Ratherbiased. He did not have the courage to relate to you what I now say... Mr. Hussein! Destroy your weapons!

Yours - Fidel XOXOXOX

[Cincinatus' Wife]

CUBAN President Fidel Castro has urged Baghdad to destroy "the last cubic centimetre of chemical or biological weapons" to remove any pretext Washington might have to attack it.

Castro's afraid with our blood up, we might just demote him from slavemaster status.

[geedee]

Hey, Fidel, find an American who cares what you think.

Besides HIM. And Spielberg. And Glover. And the other commie-sympathizers. Better yet, STFU!!
