Godot 149 Posted January 17, 2007 According to CNN and spanish newspaper El País, Castro decided against routine surgery which would have provided him with an 'artificial anus'... A very reasonable decision, I suppose. An opportunity missed. He could have pointed to his new "George W". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted January 17, 2007 According to CNN and spanish newspaper El País, Castro decided against routine surgery which would have provided him with an 'artificial anus'... A very reasonable decision, I suppose. He doesn't need surgery to get an artificial anus - there's a little shop down an alleyway behind Woolworth's in my town that sell them at very reasonable prices. So I'm told.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 18, 2007 The Cuban official's continue to deny that Castro is in fact on his way out. But it seems clear his surgery expected complications. It would be a real come back if he rised in glory to become the leader of Cuba once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 21, 2007 Massive articles in some UK press today, incl three pages in The Observer, smacks very much of the sundays figuring he'll be dead within a week and they'll be scooped on the major write ups and obits by the dailies.

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted January 22, 2007 To get back on to the thread - I think Castro is the New Sharon - hanging in till we almost forget he isn't pushing up the daisies. I have the feeling that they will actually announce his death on a "convienent day". By this, I mean, a historically significant day in Fidel's history, (when he took power, Bay of Pigs etc etc.) when in fact he may already have died a while before.

By this, I mean, a historically significant day in Fidel's history, (when he took power, Bay of Pigs etc etc.) when in fact he may already have died a while before. I wouldn't be suprised if it happened that way accounting on the miracle reporting system of Cuba but I always saw Castro's goodbye minutes after his demise. The fact of Sharon wanders my mind, since the whole 'what if' he lives through the year under the state he is in gets me very aggravated. His faimly is selfish and he should have been history a long time ago. And 'if' he should survive through this year, for certain reasons I can't proclaim right now I would leave him the f**k off next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His brother has now already taken charge of the country. I doubt Castro is dead already. I suspect that he will die say on a Thursday and the government wait say till the Monday to announce the death of Castro and if it near to a significant day then they wait till that day and make sure the army and other security forces are ready for internal or external pressures .

Monoclinic 39 Posted January 23, 2007 Cuba, being a bastion of all things socialist, I assume has a free healthcare system. Also, being financially deprived as a nation they may not have enough funds to buy good equipment, doctors etc... (much like our NHS in Britain) and given that most Cubans live to at least 137, so the Geriatric unit is probably quite a small ward, does this mean that Fidel could officially be classed as a bed blocker???
