Ah yes, now I see the true brilliance of the plan

Boo-yah!

Cuban President Fidel Castro is very ill and close to death, Director of National Intelligence John D. Negroponte said yesterday.

"Everything we see indicates it will not be much longer . . . months, not years," Negroponte told a meeting of Washington Post editors and reporters.

So our brilliant plan of bringing down Castro by cutting him off in the mid-60s has worked out about as well as one could hope. It only took 40 fucking years plus before he came near the end of his natural life! Which, of course, hasn't happened yet.

Good job' 'murica, good fucking job! That REALLY worked! And it took a whole series of Ph.Ds from both parties to enact this gem?

By the way "months, not years" isn't that pretty much an old Rummy quote about Iraq?

But that's nothing compared to the Bush/McCain Iraq plan!
