Fidel Castro is finally dead

[Hypoxia]

I am surprised Obama has not called for 10 days of national mourning

Lost in the echo chamber, are ye? Likely a birther too. Sorry your alternate reality isn't working for you. Have a nice day.

I firmly believe Castro died several months ago and now, for whatever reason they wheel him out. They cremated the guy so we'll never know for sure. Just like, Bin Laden, do we really know?

In bin Laden's case, yes, we do.

In bin Laden's case, yes, we do.

How??

 

[KingOrfeo]

How??

For one thing, Obama, unlike Trump, is really not that much of a liar, and, for another, it is preposterous that a whole team of Navy SEALS would go along with such a brazen and dishonorable imposture as to merely pretend to have killed bin Laden. Also, there's helmet-cam footage of them doing it. Doubting it is as silly as the fake-Moon-landing theory.

Okay, first, being called "not that much of a liar" means, he's a liar.....its like, getting a little bit pregnant....ya know? Althought Obama did say, we get to keep out doctors and the price of health care will go down!! Just saying....

Second, and i am just asking because I didnt pay that much attention to it, but these helmet cam footages, do they show his actual face and body? or was he in a gown of sorts, bodybag or covered with a sheet?

Everyone's a liar, at least occasionally. But there are still some people you can trust more than others. Obama's remarkably honest as pols go. So is Hillary, for that matter. But not even you would even think of defending Trump's honesty.

'I never stayed to see if they were dead': Natalia Bolivar, 82, unsentimental about role in Cuban Revolution

Bolivar is renowned anthropologist today, but in 1950s, she was part of underground that helped topple Batista

With the help of her walker, 82-year-old Natalia Bolivar slowly shuffles over to the rocking chair in her Havana apartment, gently lowers herself onto the cushioned seat and proceeds to talk about her expertise in art, culture and hand grenades.

Born into an upper class family descended from the same bloodline as the famed Latin American independence leader Simon Bolivar, she is a renowned anthropologist and expert on Afro-Cuban culture.

But before she was that, she was a revolutionary in the movement led by the late Fidel Castro that overthrew the military dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista.

The hands she used to paint some of the art that adorns the walls of her apartment were used for more violent ends during the Cuban Revolution of the late 1950s.

Hillary compared to Trump, maybe.....but to me, ALL politicans lie (so do all salesmen)....

This whole thread is just 'Beating a dead dictator', when We have got a live potential dictator waiting to assume command of the Big Red Button!

 

[KingOrfeo]

This whole thread is just 'Beating a dead dictator' . . .

The dictator is dead, the dictatorship is not.

But, since when is it U.S. policy not to trade with dictatorships?

Well.... ah...em.... never, right?
