President Fidel Castro called the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a "barbarity," saying he should have been put on trial.
The United States acted as "judge and jury" against the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq, Castro said late Friday.
"They bragged, they were practically drunk with happiness."
"The accused cannot just be eliminated," he told a literacy conference. "This barbarity cannot be done."
The U.S. military has said al-Zarqawi initially survived the dropping of two 500-pound bombs on his hide-out Wednesday, but died a short time later.
Castro said if Cuba used the same logic, it could bomb the United States to kill its No. 1 enemy, Luis Posada Carriles, who is being held in El Paso, Texas on immigration charges.
The communist government accuses the Cuban-born Posada of masterminding numerous violent attacks against the island, including the bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed 73 people in 1976. Posada denies involvement in the bombing of the plane.
I wonder if Castro has ever considered that there are circumstances where the 500 pounder thing could happen to him?
I guess to Castro the bombing of Zark the shark was a barbarity, whereas the beheadings, the IEDs, and all those car bombs were just fun and games.

1- Al Qaeda doesn't have a soccer team.
2- Watching TV is a sin, watching uncovered legs of men is a bigger sin.
3- He's afraid to lose concentrations when he sees the hot Brazilian chicks cheering for their team.
4- He doesn't have ART.
5- He might get really confused who to cheer for if the US played England in the quarter-finals.
6- He wouldn't tell if the fans painting their faces with colors are some of his men in camouflage.
7- He hates wathcing infidel teams winning antyhing.
8- He's angry the FIFA refused to use the heads of his victims as balls in the tournament.
9- He's afraid of division among his men on who is the sexiest player in the Italian team.
10- Good reason: he's D-E-A-D.

11. Baby goats, dressed in leopard skin print undies and wearing Jackie O's are not granted seats in the stadium.
Castro is the root of evil.
Bump for later.
I want one of those!
If Posada or I were in Cuba coordinating attacks against the Castro's government, his military and Cuban and foreign civilians, we would both be waging war and we would both be legitimate military targets.
Posada, like Saddam, is in custody and, like Saddam, is no longer a legitmate military target.
How did I not know about that site? Great stuff. :)
Very Funny!!!
Is this really the right thing for us to do?
It's really nothing different than high-school "cool kids" doing the drug of liberal self-gratification, isn't it? We're invited to the cool-kid party and asked, "wanna take a hit?"
These aged hippies are simply mouthing the "cool" or "hip" thing (Bash Bush) as their drug of choice.
We have all been in this situation. When it was pot, I just said, truthfully, I don't smoke, but I will have a beer, thanks. When it's Bush, I say I like Bush but I dislike a federal govt that attacks free speech with CFR.
The hosts of the party invited us for our company, so why not give it to them in shining fashion? Don't sink to their level and call Castro names as they call Bush names, just simple things, like, "Yes, well, of course, your house is so beautiful, it'd be a shame to have to surrender it in a raid by Castro's state police if you were to try to criticize the Maximum Leader for Life's policies as we are free to do of Bush here." Something simple like that.
We ARE NEEDED to remind them of how great this country is, first and foremost. And if we politely highlight their hypocrisy in the process, then more the better.
Don't clam up! Smile and keep you powder dry until you can offer a simple counterpoint. These hippies are not stupid, they're just intellectually lazy. Cheers!
Go ahead. Once Cuba is reconquered would there be so many Iraq-style terror attacks on the Cuban populace?
This from a leader who wore, for most of his adult life as El Presidente supremo dictator, military fatigues with a revolver strapped to his side.
