Has anyone asked if there was an assassination attempt on Castro?

Strange abdominal surgery, brother is silent, Booshe mis-Administration having a grand old time dividing up Cuba.

Any takers?

1. YOu mean like the clowns the CIA hire may have

finally succeeded?

Highly doubtful.

The man is aging.

2. I smell a rat here

sorry, I really smell a rat here. Maybe not our government involved, but a lot of ex-patriots would love to see him gone. Then the Repukes get their paradise back.

3. Another exploding cigar?

5. By his abdomen?

4. Nope, but a bleeding ulcer requiring a partial gastrectomy

which is my educated guess, would do it for an information blockade and lack of photos.

It's either that or a partial colectomy with or without a colostomy.

Neither surgery is a walk in the park, especially for an 80 year old man.

His brother has always remained low profile, so there is nothing new there.

Castro's recovery is going to be slow and painful. Nobody bounces back at 80 the way they do at 20, and these are tough surgeries for younger folks.

I won't start getting suspicious for another 2 weeks. If there are no photos by then, something else is wrong.

6. You mean like Ariel Sharon?

7. Sharon bled into his head

The head is located quite a way above the disgestive tract.
