Legendary Cuban leader Fidel Castro described US President Barack Obama’s speech in the United Nations assembly as ‘gibberish’, NATO’s actions in Libya as “monstrous crime”.
85 years old Fidel Castro has been mostly out of sight in 2011, which combined with the absence of his usual steady flow of columns ‘Reflections by Fidel’, had increased the number of rumors on his worsening health.
Castro wrote he was involved in work that occupied all his time and therefore he had not been writing what he calls his “reflections.” But he said he couldn’t stop the urge to write a comment on the U.N. General Assembly in New York and in particular Obama’s speech in it last week.
Another piece of Reflections by Fidel : Castro blasts Obama
Fidel Castro was his vintage self in his latest reflection, which was published on Cuban government website www.cubadebate.cu., sharply criticising US President Barack Obama and the United States government, his ideological foes for tyeir bellicose and hypocritical behavior. He mocked President Barack Obama the “yankee president.”
Fidel Castro quoted extensively from Obama’s General Assembly speech, inserting paragraphs of his opinions of the U.S. leader’s words. “In spite of the shameful monopoly of the mass information media and the fascist methods of the United States and its allies to confuse and deceive world opinion, the resistance of the people grows, and that can be appreciated in the debates being produced in the United Nations,” he wrote.
Fidel Castro on Obama’ speech at UN : Mispresential and meaningless
Castro called into question many points in Obama’s speech, accusing him of misrepresenting the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. policy on Israel and Palestine and the uprisings this year in several Arab nations. “Who understands this gibberish of the President of the United States in front of the General Assembly?” the former Cuban leader asked. Castro continued that the General Assembly presented political difficulties for many countries trying to decide the positions they should take on numerous issues.
“For example, what position to adopt about the genocide of NATO in Libya?” Castro wrote in his latest ‘reflection’. “Does anyone wish it recorded that under their direction, the Libyan government supported the monstrous crimes by the United States and its NATO allies?” Castro did not describe the project that had taken him away from his column writing, but his allies President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Evo Morales of Bolivia said recently he was working on something to do with agriculture.
