0 For 638 — Sounds Like Our Government!
The man whom the CIA has tried to despatch with everything from a bacteria-infected hankie to an aerosol filled with LSD, is still around and should be blowing out the 80 candles on his cake on December 2, writes the Guardian newspaper.
Reviewing the film shown by British TV Channel Four Tuesday evening about the US government’s 638 failed plots to kill Fidel Castro, the Guardian UK says it comes at a timely moment.
At a time when US government officials speculate about the Cuban leader´s health situation, this film deals on the attempts on the life of Fidel Castro, either directly organized by the CIA or their many proxies, registered by retired general Fabian Escalante in his book 638 Maneras de Matar a Castro (638 Ways to Kill Castro).
I’ve got a canned response for people when they ask me about something that they think the government should be doing.
“I don’t trust them to deliver the mail, you think they can pull this [whatever they're proposing] off?”
How do you expect government to assassinate a foreign head of state, when it takes 27 bureaucrats to sign the appropriate forms before a government union employee can tie his shoes? These are the people you want to trust your retirement and healthcare to?

For your interest, they just showed an amazing doc here in UK where republican congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen brazenly admits to supporting CIA attemps to assassinate Castro
It’s an amazing confession, see it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MunPrYJWy0
(oh and she’s just been re-elected in Florida!)
It’s making news here because the doc also featured what was practially a confession by Orlando Bosch that he planned the bombing of a cuban airliner killing 73 civilians over ten years ago.
Bosch is living a free man because George Bush Snr, granted him leave to remain in US despite objections of Senate and Congress.
What do you think?
(It is getting connected here with the assassination of the russian spy last week)

I saw programme and thought how sophisticated the Russians look with their radiation posioning of Litvienko compared to the CIA’s ‘exploding cigars’ plot!
