Castro Blasts U.S.-Led War in Iraq
2005-02-19
President Fidel Castro called the U.S.-led war in Iraq a "brutal bombing spectacle," and criticized the Bush administration for its spending on the war. In comments televised Friday from a speech two days earlier, Castro said the billions of dollars being spent in Iraq "won't cure AIDS, won't cure any disease, won't cure anybody." Meanwhile, he said in the speech to a workers' congress in Havana, Cuba exports thousands of doctors to needy countries. "Mr. Bush put forth 15 billion dollars, and with that the world moved on to the stage of the Iraq war, that brutal bombing spectacle," Castro said in remarks lasting nearly three hours. "But what is needed over there is a man, a revolutionary doctor who can save lives. And that's what we have."

#3  US budget $11,000,000,000,000 (2003 Est). Cuba Budget $11 and spare change. No, literally, spare change? Guess he's jealous. 'Course he'd just buy military unforms and award himself medals if he had it. The lack of fashion sense is odd, too, since he seems to have a Queer Eye thingy going on in the pic.
