castro handed over power to his defence minister because of poor health

defense minister = raul castro = fidel castro's brother. raul helped in the whole revolution and had been in the shadows for 40 years. i think its just a 'younger fidel' at the wheel, and somehow given fidel castro's old age and poor health, leads me to believe that raul was in control of cuba long before last night when power was 'temporarily' given to him.

After screwing up in Iraq and and Afghanistan, Bush now has yet another opportunity to get f**ked up in Cuba in his quest to bring peace and freedom to each and every people in this world.

It is speculated that Castro could already be dead though.
