HAVANA (Reuters) - Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who has not been seen in public for 16 months, suggested on Monday he might give up his formal leadership posts -- the first time he has spoken of his possible retirement.

"My elemental duty is not to hold on to positions and less to obstruct the path of younger people," the 80-year-old Castro said in a letter read on Cuban state television.

It would be interesting to see what happens, or if we can work with Cuba even while Fidel is still alive.

Ike, JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush.
