First He Was, Now He Isn't?
King Fidel's birthday celebration was postponed to December 2 after his sudden illness in August.
the thought was to combine King Fidel's (belated) birthday with the Army's parade in honor of the 50th anniversary of the landing of the yacth Granma, Fidel on board, in eastern Cuba -- an episode that launched the guerrilla war against Batista.
well ...
after strong hints that King Fidel would make an appearance, now officials in charge of his birthday celebration are back-pedaling.
his latest video, intended to show his progress, instead highlighted his continued weakness. his voice, barely audible, struggles to complete a simple sentence:
Castro Video
so ... realistically, i don't think anyone can expect Castro to be strong enough by December 2 to take part in the celebrations
someone captured the mood perfectly:
Fidel Castro Returns, 2006
