HAVANA – Cuban President Fidel Castro has offered to send 100 doctors to Houston immediately to help provide medical care to residents of New Orleans who have been evacuated in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Another 500 clinicians and specialists could be dispatched to Houston “or any other airport of your choosing,” by Sunday, Castro said during a TV Roundtable discussion broadcast in Havana with another 500 to follow.

The offer was relayed via e-mail to members of U.S. organizations that have traveled to Havana on commercial licenses in recent months. Members of the USA Rice Federation met with Castro during a visit to Havana to discuss potential sales of U.S. rice on Aug. 25-26.

Castro has always sends "doctors" to countries he wants to subvert. Che Guevara was one of the first Cuban doctors to begin this long history of Fidel's humanitarianism.

Here's a pix always worth posting and dedicated to the American $cum who wear him on their t-shirts.

No, we should not accept anything from a communist dictator. I would rather our entire country die of dehydration and starvation than to ever accept anything from that murderous SOB, Castro.

Just what the US needs, another group of Cuban agents. It's not as if we don't have plenty of communists here already, destroying us from within.

From what I had read in the past (and I admit I can't provide a source for this so I may be mistaken) is that Cuba actually has a very good and advanced medical system with some very good doctors. I'm going to have to look this up to see if I can confirm it or if I'm just imagining things.

Look up "Potemkin village" while you're at it and you'll understand why you've read that "Cuba actually has a very good and advanced medical system" even though all party elites go to Venezuela, Mexico or Spain for all serious medical treatment. See if the MSM allows you to know that Cuban Americans have to buy medicines for relatives in Cuba at certain US pharmacies that specialize in shipments to Cuba.

why does everyone automatically assume that Fidel wants to destroy America?????? he hasn't done anything, all he did was overthrow general batista (dictator in cuba, before 1959)whom the u.s. government supported. anybody should be willing to help if there is a crisis, and their help should be accepted, do some research on Fidel and Cuba and then you can say.
