--- here is the OP

Fidel Castro: Osama bin Laden is a US agent

Source: Associated Press

Fidel Castro says al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden is a bought-and-paid-for CIA agent who always popped up when former President George W. Bush needed to scare the world, arguing that documents recently posted on the Internet prove it.

"Any time Bush would stir up fear and make a big speech, bin Laden would appear threatening people with a story about what he was going to do," Castro told state media during a meeting with a Lithuanian-born writer known for advancing conspiracy theories about world domination. "Bush never lacked for bin Laden's support. He was a subordinate."

Castro said documents posted on WikiLeaks.org — a website that recently released thousands of pages of classified documents from the Afghan war — "effectively proved he was a CIA agent." He did not elaborate.

The comments, published in the Communist Party daily Granma on Friday, were the latest in a series of provocative statements by the 84-year-old revolutionary, who has emerged from seclusion to warn that the planet is on the brink of nuclear war.

1. You know what is very cool ?

That a man who just celebrated his 84th birthday after surviving a near-fatal illness has bounced back to the point where he reads WikiLeaks on the internet, and gives his opinion.

Ya think dubya has been studying the WikiLeaks documents? After all, it happened on his watch !! :rofl:

2. Mixing 9-11, OBL, BFEE, with Castro and you have the makings of ...

... a typical DU freakout over Castro. The grasshoppers have learned their lessons well ... We've always been at war with Eastasia.

3. I don't understand the connection in the OP between Bush/Paraguay and Castro's statement about OBL.

Since the 2007 Bush/Paraguay blog (reffed in the OP), a leftist--the beloved "bishop of the poor," Fernando Lugo--was elected president of Paraguay, made it very clear during his campaign that U.S. troops are not welcome in Paraguay and kicked them out once he was president. Paraguay ain't the same any more. In order to play ball with the leftist governments that control the trade group Mercosur, Paraguay (just prior to Lugo) had to drop its immunity for U.S. soldiers (and presidents?), and it has now seen one more victory for the leftist democracy movement in Latin America.

I don't know where this leaves the Rev Moon and Daddy Bush, as to their properties in Paraguay, and Bush Jr buying property there has never been confirmed.

One other interesting fact, U.S. troops were still in Paraguay in Sept '08, when the Bushwhack ambassador in neighboring Bolivia was funding/organizing a white separatist insurrection in Bolivia. The insurrection failed--partly because the new pan-South America group, UNASUR, which had just been formalized, intervened and strongly backed up Evo Morales when he threw the U.S. ambassador out of the country. I suspect that the election of Fernando Lugo in Paraguay, just prior to that white separatist insurrection, may also have helped to foil it. The Bushwhacks may have intended to send aid to the white separatists from their air base in Paraguay but no longer had the cover of a rightwing government to do so.

When Fernando Lugo was elected president of Paraguay, Evo Morales sent him this message: "Welcome to the 'Axis of Evil'!"

4. Evo has a good sense of humor!

Well I guess that paranoia is out of date, good thing.

5. An insurrection that was repurposed into an assassination attempt

foiled in March 2009 or so, iirc.

6. Another DU Paraguay-Moon-Bush thread, the FIdel thread was moved to the 9/11 forum!

7. Evidently the man is senile

Fidel Castro is increasingly senile. The decrepit nature of the Cuban regime is demonstrated when a man missing his wits is published as if he were dictating the Bible to the Apostles. I don't know if there is anybody with common sense in that Cuban government, but they should not be publishing such rantings, it discredits them a lot.
