Bush wishes Cuba's Castro would disappear

NEWPORT, Rhode Island (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush made plain his feelings about Fidel Castro on Thursday -- wishing the Cuban leader would disappear.

"One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away," Bush said in answer to a question after a speech at the Naval War College.

Asked whether Bush was wishing Castro dead, White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said: "The president was commenting on an inevitable event."

Castro has long been a thorn in the side of U.S. presidents, defying them and outlasting them in office.

Documents released by the CIA this week showed that the spy agency worked with three American mobsters in a botched attempt to assassinate Castro in the early 1960s.

1. One day

the Good Lord will take Bush away.

Nun danket alle Gott
mit Herzen, Mund und Händen,
der grosse Dinge tut
an uns und allen Enden;
der uns von Mutterleib und Kindesbeinen an
unzählig viel zugut,
und noch jetzund getan!

2. Hubris. This is such a stupid aspect of US politics.

And if you click the heels of your ruby red slippers three times and say

"I want Castro to go away" three times, Castro will be gone and Cuba will fall into total anarchy.
Then you can put on a flight suit, appear on the titani...I mean...Navy ship with a banner that says, "I'm an assclown..." I mean "mission Demolished..." I mean "Mission Accomplished."

5. Haven't you heard...scrub doesn't read polls

Of course...since he can't read above a kindergarden level...it's not surprising all those numbers confuse him.

7. I read the last sentence with disdain - 3 mobsters and the CIA?

What a joke - there were more than three. Mobsters imply Mafia. They can phrase it anyway they want. We know who the CIA worked with.

Always asking - what's the current status of American's favorite living Spanish speaking terrorist? Luis Posada Carilles?

8. Sooner or Later The Good Lord Will...

Sooner or later the Good Lord will look down from Heaven (and no later than January 20th, 2009) and see George W. Bush leave the office of President of the United States of America.
