Cuban President Fidel Castro is transferring power provisionally to brother Raul while he undergoes an operation, Cuban TV announces.

You think? I think with Castro gone Chavez will be focusing on Cuba not Obra. You may be right, but he's a damn fool if he thinks he'll get in there before the Cuban exiles in Florida, or if he thinks America will stand still for him in Cuba. |
Some of those people have turned castro into a diety, pretty sad
"Update: People have taken to the streets in Little Havana in Miami. Calle Ocho is packed with Cubans celebrating the news. Our phones here havent stopped ringing and we're unable to communicate with anyone in Cuba. Versailles Restaturant is packed with folks honking, screaming and waving flags. My wife insists that castro is dead."
I honestly don't think Castro is long for this world.
Didn't Stalin and Mao BOTH have health issues that were NEVER announced before they "died"???
As did FDR and JFK. Leftists never tell the truth.
¡Arriba Cohiba!
Mmmmmm....like Fidel keeling over, maybe?
I don't think JFK really fits on that list......
This Raul putz looks like a character out of an Andy Griffith show.
Fidel is not suffering from intestinal bleeding due to stress caused by a simple overseas trip.
Fidel has one foot in the grave.
I watched Neil Cavuto interview President Bush today, and I must say President Bush seemed most upbeat.
Ruptured appendix, perhaps?
A "health accident" is a sudden occurence, like a stroke
Alright, which one of you comedians is trolling the septic tank (DU)under the screen name of GuillermoX71?
There is about to be a blood bath in Cuba. The Hezbo's Israel on the big stage is designed to take the spotlight off the carnage to come as groups/people step up to fill the coming power void. Chavez is the common denominator.
Ah, the good old Versaille on Calle Ocho, filled with the remaining Cubans who aren't in line at the airport waiting to go home at first notice of Fidel's demise.
Luis, you know anything definitive? When they start partying in Havana, we'll know the end has come.
But the end of everything? Is that too much to hope for? Every Cuban and lover of Cuba in the USA should boat, raft, fly to Havana in a reverse boatlift to encourage the Cubans to declare their country THEIRS. Where do I sign up?
Actually, some car horns were just honking in the nearby barrio here, too. Not a lot of Cubans living there, as they live in nice houses elsewhere, but maybe some "unity" honks for brethren.

He had that brain matter thing previous, didn't you know?
Si.
