Iraq and Cuba – Fitting Pieces in the West Nile Virus Puzzle?

However, if you want to pin this one on Castro and Saddam, hey, why not?

But I don't want, I don't want. I think that's silly.

I was just shocked to see all the parrot nests this year in mr. hellinahandcart's old neighborhood, that's all. They weren't there last year. I just wondered how there could suddenly be such a number of parrots living wild. "Breeding quite happily" is an understatement.

Thats why we all come here! Cut thru all the chaff .. Get the latest skinny .. However, I, like many, need to be more aware of what could happen or be happening. We're living in times when enemies are not too caring of how they deliver their terror, only that they inflame the masses. That's when
the panic sits in.

I don;t consider it panicking to take a good look at things. People die, Birds Fly, Bereaucrats Lie, Next thing ya know, we got an epidemic.

Don't be shocked; be happy. Guess what...
THEY TASTE LIKE CHICKEN.

Cuba Offers to Help U.S. Contain West Nile Virus*** HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuba offered on Friday to help the United States contain an outbreak of West Nile virus because it says the disease could spread to the Caribbean and Central America when infected birds begin migrating south in the autumn. "The government of Cuba is prepared to cooperate in any way it can with the authorities of the United States and other countries in research and efforts to counter this new danger to the health of the population of this hemisphere," the Cuban government said in a statement.

Cuba has made major advances in tropical medicine and recently controlled an outbreak of dengue, a disease that is spread to humans by mosquitoes, as is the West Nile virus. Cuban doctors currently are helping fight dengue in Honduras, one of the Central American countries hit by an outbreak of the potentially fatal disease. No case of West Nile virus, which is moving across the United States mainly through bird migration, has been detected south of the U.S. border, in Cuba or in any other Caribbean and Latin American nation, the statement published by the ruling Communist Party's daily Granma said. ***
