Castro: The Ultimate Truther

First you have to buy that Castro's alive, then that he actually has the ability to write an essay at this point, assuming he is alive. And his message from the undead?

HAVANA (AP) — Cuban President Fidel Castro accused the U.S. government of deliberating misleading the public about the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, repeating theories advanced by others of possible U.S. involvement in the terrorist acts in New York City and Washington six years ago.

"It is now known there was deliberate disinformation" about the attacks, the Cuban leader wrote in an essay read Tuesday on Cuban state television.

"We were tricked like everybody else on the planet."

The theory of possible official U.S. involvement in the terrorist attacks has been mentioned in the past by others, including Castro's political ally Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Conspiracy theorists have suggested New York's World Trade Center was brought down with explosives after hijacked airplanes crashed into them in 2001 and the Pentagon in Washington was struck by a projectile, not a jetliner.

The Cuban government condemned the Sept. 11 attacks hours after they occurred and within days organized a rally to express solidarity with Americans.

Castro has not appeared in public since mid-2006, when he had intestinal surgery and ceded power to his younger brother Raul. In late March, he began writing occasional essays on mostly international themes.

really, in many ways, fidel is just like jesus. he died, and then came back to help the glorious revolution he loved so much. it is true, his help now is a little less tangible - more ethereal - than before, when he allowed the flower of cuban womanhood to sell their asses in order to get desperately-needed hard currency for a mysteriously broke cuba .... but still. aside from his state-sponsored pimping; aside from the 6-hour speeches in 95 degree weather; aside from the brutal repression; and the many vicious means by which he clung to power .... really, the similarities between him & baby jesus are *eerie*!

ask any leftoid. they'll tell you. "cuba has free health care!"

HAHA Bob, you left out gun control!

Who would have thought the anniversary of this September 11th would have brought out all these crazies.

God Bless America, our military forces, President Bush and the average citizen who refuses to surrender the good fight.

"We were tricked like everybody else on the planet." writes Herr Fidel.

Oh those dualistic Neocons. The are so clever they can trick not just the whole planet but Fidel too. At the same time the heroes of the left assert the Neos, and especially their elected leader, are all stupid idiots. The traffic light is red and green at the same time.
