Same as I Neal. Cuba has always been under the thumb since I was a kid. Heck, my dad was almost part of the Bay of Pigs. His number was not selected and he did not go.

I thought Castro was old now and had stepped aside for his younger brother Raul......or is this just a smokescreen?

Its up for debate, some even say Castro is dead and they have a body double in his place. Cubans are big on conspiracys.

At any rate whatever Raul said to the administration evidently was 'mis interperted' according to Fidel.

Fidel while aged and frail still pulls the strings.

I guess a bit of both. Most think Castro is dead and this is a darn good stand in. Who really knows.

I suspect it is Fidel. A lot of speculation on this. Every picture I see it sure looks like Fidel. Been looking at the guy for a long time. I think the Cuban cigars have a special fountain of youth in them.
