Cuba's Raving Lunatic

Fidel Castro, beloved by many on the American left, was reanimated again enough yesterday to be rolled out to lambaste the USA and say that we are seeking and will soon precipitate nuclear war with both North Korea and Iran. Yes, Fidel Castro believes our dove of a US President, Barack Hussein Obama, is so Machiavellian that he deliberately sank the South Korean frigate in a false flag operation so Obama would have adequate provocation to launch a nuclear war against North Korea who Castro sees as an innocent victim. How hard must it be for Castro's defenders on the American campus to defend these preposterous charges leveled against the idol, the ideal President Obama who enjoyed so much acclaim and support from the Castro-loving crowd? Now, they must explain that Fidel is not the same "liberator" they knew and loved but has been warped by age and illness and made a delusional paranoid by the several attempts America allegedly made to assassinate Castro early in his reign. To the Castro apologists in the US who also love Obama, they readily accept Castro's other premise that Israel will attack Iran but to hear Castro heap calumny on Obama is unsettling, like hearing that the inappropriate drunken uncle will be attending the family reunion. The bad news for them is that Castro has always been nothing but a brutal, murderous ideologue, but the good news for us, judging by his frail and failing appearance, is that Castro will soon shuffle off the world stage and off this mortal coil.
