I think Castro simply wants to die in peace knowing his people get fed, that they play an excellent level of baseball and that every American who wants one is able to smoke a cigar from his country.

I think when he dies--if nothing controversial happens between now and that point--that historians will probably view him favorably given that he held out, so close for so long. It'll be an interesting read.

There are unconfirmed rumors in VZ about AlQueda members and a Biological Lab in Venezuela, there are many Cubans and Arabs coming in Venezuela Trough Army Air Fields without any Immigration Check,

Today the Air Pilots of PDVESA ( pETROLEOS DE vENEZUELA) adjoined the strike and accused Chavez on live TV that he made them Fly Secret and undocumented Flights , without them being able to check or to know what kind of Cargo and passengers they transport, most of those undocumented passengers were Cubans and Arabs.

A few weeks ago the Personal Pilot for Chavez "AIRFORCE 1" resigned and made the same accusations.

About money and resources? Chavez takes out of Central Bank ArmyTruckloads with Uncontrolled Cash and Gold and no one knows what he does with it. When asked he says : "it is to buy food and gasoline"

Make your guess.

>>"...Looks like when it rains it pours eh....Bush will have to open up another battle front....If Fidel is actively fomenting revolution again, I can't help but wonder if he is also harboring Al Queda people, money and resources? Anyone hear anything on that front?"<<

Yeah, I heard that bin Laden is holed up in one of Castro's Havana palaces with a North Korean nuke. But not to worry, the Miami Cubans are rested and ready to get their revenge for the Elian affair. I also heard that they plan to invade somewhere near a place called the Bay of Pigs and they are just waiting for Bush to put Cuba in the "Axis of Evil".
