Fidel Back From the Dead
Fit-looking former leader Fidel Castro appeared on Cuban television for the first time since June 2008 and his photograph was published in an official newspaper on Sunday in a signal that his once-failing health has improved. Castro, 83, looked aged but in good condition as he spoke with a group of Venezuelan students in a three-hour meeting that took place on Saturday. Did he talk the whole time, lecturing non-stop? He told them he was worried about the future of the planet, under threat from global warming. He may look better, but his brain has gone soft. "Even the Pentagon has gotten involved," Castro said. "It has included the climate among things that threaten the security of the United States. We are facing events that are very, very, very grave," said the 83-year-old bearded rebel, who took power in a 1959 revolution and held on to it for 49 years. Rebel? How about one-time rebel marxist dictator? Posted by: Bobby 2009-08-24 |
