May his surgeon be a relative of one of his victims.

Hopefully the last thing Fidel hears (from the surgeon as the anesthetic takes hold):

Senor Presidente, today we are all anti-Communist Republicans from the CIA.
Muhahahaha!!!

THE CUBAN RADIO ANNOUNCED TONIGHT THAT CUBAN DICTATOR FIDEL CASTRO HAS TEMPORARILY STEPPED DOWN AS "PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF" AND THAT IS HAVING EMERGENCY SURGERY TO STOP AN INTESTINAL BLEEDING.

This condition may have been caused by a bullet. Let us hope so.

How's his arm? I think the Yankees are still looking for pitching.

I'm not offended, I only wish his body could be dragged down
the Main street of Miami so the world could see what cubans
really think of him.

What a righteous hell if these tyrants could meet their victims in the afterlife.

Maybe there was something to the rumors that were flying a few weeks ago, that maybe indeed Fidel is real sick, or was even dead.

He is either already dead or is not expected to survive this surgery. We can only hope.

You know I thought this as well. I find it hard to believe Castro would let his people he was going under the knife. Never mind pass his authority off. Something is fishy.

Maybe they can fill him with concrete while they're at it.

This sounds to me like he's dead, and they're trying to let the population down easy . . .

at least I hope so. Good people die young, and this murderous piece of human refuse just goes on killing and maiming and oppressing . . .

I'm sure the liberal media is going to all be crying when their hero Castro dies and printing lots of articles with rewritten history where they claim all the good castro did.

Dan Rather is probably drinking himself into a stupor at some bar right now over this news. His hero is dying.
