A month ago ?? woo...
i wonder how the U$ carried out the plot this time, anyone has news on this?

thanks! :o

[FistFullOfSteel]

not yet.

[commieboy]

600!?!!?

I heard it was more like TEN! but i wouldn't put it past dubaya.....Cough cough Cocksucking bastard cough cough...

and the thing that impresses me is that Fidel hasnt done anything agressive towards the U$ We've all heard of his short temper. :castro: :che: :hammer: :cuba:

[Fidelbrand]

Long live Granny Castro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RebeldePorLaPAZ]

well if he was to do anything to the U$ he will be over powerd by there force of power. U$ can throw one person out of controll after another. But what would happen after that would be a guerrilla war like in Iraq. What Castro should stick to is Verbal Assults and target the U$ like that. In my text book and in some Time magazine thingy it said that there was over 600 attempts to kill him.

I believe the official number is eight.

There have been 637 assassination attempts against Fidel Castro. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/1613423.stm) That's an all-time world record.

The most recent one I know of was in 2001. (http://www.themilitant.com/2001/6519/651929.html) Cuba requested that those responsible be extradited; Panama refused. Among those involved: longtime CIA asset Juan Posadas Carrilles, also wanted for blowing up a Cuban airliner. He did a little time in Venezuela for that one, before his friends in the security forces there helped him escape.

The CIA admits to involvement in 8 of these attempts, in the 1960s, but I doubt that's the whole of it.

[Red Flag]

they never allow cuba to have a chance with constant assination attempts and economic barriers.. and that way they can make it appear that socialism is a bad thing

[Ctisphonics]

Ahhh, come on......... if Fidel swallows too much smoke from his Cigar and gets a stomach ache, it's listed an an Poisioning Attempt. Don't worry, it we really wanted to do it, it'll be done already- plain and simple. I mean, why would we try to cover it up, everyone would blame it on the US anyway, just send a couple of Commandos down there and get the job done already! (or Will Smith & Martin Lawrence, in Bad Boyz II)

They've tried...duuh the Bay of Pigs....where the US came out with its tail between its legs when the Cubans pushed their asses out instead of "revolting" against the "oppressor" lol

i think the bay of pigs is over exgerated, I know it was a slap in america's face, but i think military wise, it wasn't such a great thing the cubans did. Its effects were more political it seems.

[Urban Rubble]

The only reason the Bay Of Pigs failed on the U.S's part is because Kennedy refused to send the Air Force in. That is fact. However, it said something great about the Revolution that they did not back down from the invaders. And yes, it was one of the greatest things, politically, to ever happen to Castro.

[nezvanova]

I watched a documentary recently that 'claimed' the CIA's last attempt at Castro's life was the day JFK Sr Died.
