Bush To God : Please Kill Fidel Castro, Soon

President Bush was asked for his thoughts about Cuban dictator Fidel Castro the other day. He responded that God will take care of him. As in kill him off, in time.

When Castro appeared to be on the brink of death earlier this, the US State Department and the NeoCon media were positively drooling over his imminent demise. However Castro has made, somewhat, of a miraculous recovery, and is set to outlast President Bush. If Castro survives, and remains in power in January, 2009, he will have seen off 10 American presidents.
Castro, who has long accused U.S. leaders of wanting him dead, in an editorial published on Monday accused Bush of "authorizing and ordering" an attempt on his life, but provided no evidence to back up the claim.

Bush said of the Cuban dictator, and God :

"One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away...."

Asked whether Bush was wishing Castro dead, White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said: "The president was commenting on an inevitable event."

Castro has long been a thorn in the side of U.S. presidents, defying them and outlasting them in office.

Documents released by the CIA this week showed that the spy agency worked with three American mobsters in a botched attempt to assassinate Castro in the early 1960s.

Castro : Bush Wants To Have Me Killed...I Think

Fidel Castro, Cuba's communist leader for the past half century claimed, in a confused essay, that President Bush had authorised, and ordered, at least one attempt on his life, possibly many attempts.

Trying to kill Castro was almost a hobby for the CIA in the early 1960s, and orders for the revolutionary to be clipped came from the most senior ranks of the US government, including one direct order from then Attorney General, and brother of the president, Robert Kennedy.

Castro writes that mid-1970s US president Gerald Ford officially banned assassinations. He notes that he doesn't believe orders for a hit came from either President Jimmy Carter or President Bill Clinton.

But when it comes to President Bush, Castro is sure he tried to have him whacked.

But as far as proof goes, well, Castro is short on details, and clarity :

"I'm not the first, nor will I be the last, whom Bush has ordered to be deprived of life," Castro wrote...

"Why did I say one day in a reflection that Bush authorized or ordered my death? This phrase can seem ambiguous and imprecise...Perhaps it would be more exact, although even more confusing, to say that he authorized it and ordered it."

"....really it is a mystery to name those responsible for the hundreds of attempts on my life, all the direct and indirect forms to cause my death were used."

Perhaps Castro thinks his recent, mysterious, but extremely life-threatening illness was some kind of assassination attempt?
