Castro's words on NATO hit home... his own "workers' paradise."
But as for Obama, he's trying very hard not to disappoint Fidel. Fidel's short time left among the living must be making him impatient with his protege.

NATO is a "military mafia," the war in Afghanistan is "genocidal" and US President Barack Obama deserves the prize for the "best snake charmer" who ever lived, Cuba's Fidel Castro said Monday.
In an article published in response to the Western alliance's weekend summit in Portugal, the former Cuban leader called NATO an "aggressive institution" that ignored "billions of persons suffering from poverty, underdevelopment, shortages of food, housing, health, education and jobs."
Castro, 84, communism's most visible living figure, led Cuba from the 1959 Revolution until he stepped down for health reasons in 2006, handing over the presidency to his brother Raul.
Castro called NATO "a bird of prey sitting in the lap of the Yankee empire," that was used by the United States to wage "the genocidal Afghanistan war."
He brushed off ambitious plans unveiled at the Lisbon summit that would have Western leaders press Kabul to take over security by 2014, predicting they would eventually "hand over power to the Afghan resistance, in defeat."
The United States is "going through a difficult phase as the result of its war exploits" and using its "enormous media resources to maintain, dupe and confuse world public opinion," Castro said.
"Obama already admitted that his promise to withdraw US soldiers from Afghanistan may be postponed ... After the Nobel Prize, we would have to award him with the prize for 'the best snake charmer' that has ever existed."

ROFLMTO....evidently the communist in Cuba do not like the communist in DC. Is that like “the pot calling the kettle black”.
“billions of persons suffering from poverty, underdevelopment, shortages of food, housing, health, education and jobs.”
Perfect description of communism to me. The nomenklatura always keeps the dumb masses waiting for the ‘change’ they promised. It never comes. But it allows them to loot and pillage.
Why is that old coot denigrating Snake Charmers?
I presume he means "hypnotist."
snake charmer?
Well, at least Castro got it half right...
Castro's words on NATO hit home... his own "workers' paradise."
But as for Obama, he's trying very hard not to disappoint Fidel. Fidel's short time left among the living must be making him impatient with his protege.
One snake calling another snake . . . a snake.
It has been a long time since I could agree with Fidel on anything.
Of course, Fidel just borrowed the reference from Larry Sinclair.
It seems these communists are very, very slow learners. Maybe Obozo will come to his senses some day. Sorry, but we can’t wait 50 years so what say we get rid of his sorry ass in 2012?
Some commie leaders are more equal than others. Castro is just jealous, ehehehehe.
You would think castro would be in a trance..medusa the lying president imposter..
Snake charmer *snicker* I guess the gay rumors have reached Cuba.
it seems the communists cannot even agree with each other
