Yeah, great movie! I can just see them trying that...
bttt
Raul was probably standing there with a pistola aimed at their heads. Like those Iraqi soccer player with Usay, failure was not an option.
"Those surgeons could have been heroes."
Just like doctors here, the operation was a success but the patient died!
If he is dead will they give him the Evita treatment?
One minute is too much to save this killer's life..
I'd like to think the Cubans are ready to break out and take over their destiny, but I suspect the secret police/military/commy commissars have them so intimidated that it will take outside action to affect a change there. Exiles in Florida, perhaps?
The surgeons were given a simple statement.
If he dies, you die.
> Your tagline looks like ASCI goatse.
I suspect that's exactly what it's meant to be. I wouldn't think that many folks on FR would be aware of that particular internet... ummm-mm... classic, but I guess ya never know... Wikipedia entry on goatse - content warning.
I do think it's an appropriate, if crude, way to address Islamofascist terrorists, and Fidel as well.
Oh, and its "ASCII", two 'I's.
and you have to buy your own medicine and wash your own sheets and everything.
The DUmmies will put their fingers in their ears and call this propaganda
I still think he be dead.
If he's not dead, then he's non-functional. Comatose, maybe?
Hey Jimmy Carter, Your good friend Fidel needs you. Jimmy go. You out there Jimmy?? A commie needs your love and care. Jimmy?
Typo. And to anyone reading this and thinking maybe they should look into what goatse is, please DON'T. You are much better off never knowing. TRUST me.
Just as ABCNBCSeeBS would do if, say, Clinton had died doing Monica.
This is a particularly good and honest article. Not published in the USA, of course.
When we were in Cuba in '99, we traveled to the eastern city of Pinar del Rio on an "official" tour bus. Once there, friend and I walked away from the group. A block from the official stop, all buildings lacked paint, though those next to the official stop were brightly painted. Then a doddering little old man came up and showed us his asthma inhaler. "Look! Fidel gave this to me free!" There were armed soldiers watching him as he did his bit for Castro and tried to divert our attention from the wreckage of his town and his life. Thus, Cuban health care.
You'd better believe that Castro's doctors had guns to their heads while they operated. That's how Cuba works.
And I think he's still dead.
Castro’s Intestinal Problem
Doctors operating on the aging Cuban dictator were startled to discover a large mass of petrified excrement was the cause of his intestinal problems. “Apparently, Fidel hasn’t excreted normally in quite some time,” said Hermano Carnicero, one of the attending surgeons. “We can’t understand how he could have survived with such a condition.”
Professor Manuel Transmisión at the University of Mexico City has a theory that may explain how Castro could have survived such a condition for so long. “Castro used to discharge excrement by means of lengthy speeches,” said Transmisión. “Much of what he said could be termed pure crap. Apparently, this served as an alternate means of eliminating bodily waste. In recent years, however, his speeches have been getting shorter. This has allowed the waste to accumulate in his body. The current blockage is the inevitable result.”
“People could not comprehend how or why Castro would give nine-hour speeches,” said Transmisión. “Now we can see the therapeutic value these speeches had for the man. It would also explain his legendary bad-breath.”
Castro, who turns 80 on August 13, said in a statement read on Cuban television that he would be out for “some weeks” following an operation to stem intestinal bloating. He spoke of “an acute intestinal distress with sustained gas pains, which forced me to undergo delicate surgery.” He said he would be taking several weeks’ rest.
In the interim, absolute power has been entrusted in Fidel’s brother Raul who has pledge to “keep the Cuban people free from material temptations and the threat of capitalistic inroads during Fidel’s recuperation.” Raul also warned everyone “do not assume that Fidel’s absence will present an opportunity for counterrevolutionary activities. All opposition to the revolution my brother has made will continue to be ruthlessly crushed as long as I am in charge.”
