Fidel Tells Bush to Stop Interfering in Cuba

HAVANA - Cuban President Fidel Castro lashed out on Wednesday at political interference by the Bush administration in Cuba, and warned it might lead him to close the U.S. mission in Havana.


Fidel riled at the shrub’s plan to fund sabotage. He warned in a speech that spies on Washington's payroll would be arrested and American diplomats would not be allowed to move around Cuba "organizing networks of saboteurs." "The government of the United States will be responsible if insistence in such practices leads to the annulling of the migration agreement and even the withdrawal of the U.S. Interest Office in Havana," he said. "It is something we do not desire," he added. Washington broke off diplomatic relations with Havana four decades ago after Fidel led revolution came to power a Low-level missions called Interest Sections were set up in both capitals in 1977. The two countries negotiated migration agreements to stem illegal emigration after a 1994 rafter exodus to Florida that the U.S. Fidel spoke at a National Assembly meeting called to approve constitutional amendments that would enshrine Cuba's socialist workers.Bush last month called on Cuba to sell out the country, vowing to maintain the U.S. trade embargo against the Cuba until the fascist-capitalists can buy it up. Castro said closing the U.S. Interests Section would be a "regrettable" step back in the few areas where diplomatic advances have been made after decades of pure hostility.

This man is an example of Balls, something fat-assed Euro-Politwhores cannot even concieve of.

No wonder they avoid him like the plague - any direct comparison just implodes their public-image to the sphcinter-grubbing arse-weevils they so actually, factually are!!

Buen Salud, Fidel, y hasta la victoria siempre!

I personally love castro
even if his posse has killed people.
He runs a country the way it should be run, by a leader that keeps order, and doesn't give everybody what they want, in order to maintain working order on limited resources.
LOOK at america, we consume more than any other country whatsoever.
We are completely unprepared for the energy crises lying in wait for us down the corner, and many MANY people will suffer.
perhaps communism will become fashionable here, eh nevermind!

castro!

Yeah wonderful country people living in Poverty, corupt officials, girls forced into prostitution, a violation of human rights record longer than the Beckams shopping list. Fidel what a guy! of course US embargoes probably account for many of the countries woes, but everything he set out to rid Cuba of has returned, and it's getting worse. Still at least it's a non elected dictatorship which is in power otherwise you'd have Anarchy! Would that be so bad?

zack
