Fidel Castro: 9/11 Truther

If only the Kennedy Administration had provided air cover during the Bay of Pigs operation. Then we might have been spared this:
Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro said the U.S. government misinformed Americans and the world about 9/11, echoing conspiracy theories about the terror attacks against the United States six years ago.
In an essay read by a Cuban television presenter on Tuesday night, Castro said the Pentagon was hit by a rocket, not a plane, because no traces were found of its passengers.
"Today one knows there was deliberate misinformation," wrote Castro, who has not appeared in public since July of 2006 when life-threatening surgery for a secret illness forced him to hand over power to his brother Raul Castro.
"Studying the impact of planes, similar to those that hit the Twin Towers, that had accidentally fallen on densely populated cities, one concludes that it was not a plane that crashed into the Pentagon," Castro said.
"Only a projectile could have caused the geometrically round hole that allegedly was made by the plane," he said.
"We were fooled like the rest of the planet's inhabitants," he wrote.
If Castro ever gets well, a guest spot on whatever show Rosie O'Donnell is hosting these days is surely in the offing.

In a secret hangar at a secret airport on a secret island owned by Halliburton, of course.

Funny... I saw the airplane's debris all over the place in press pictures. Oh wait that's right they were all in it, I'm so stupid.
If only W senior had provided air cover after Desert Storm, we might have fewer casualties nowadays. If the shoe fits, must it be worn? "Don't let me die with my boots on."

if Kennedy had just took the plan that Ike had approved for the Cuban invasion and gone with it, the invasion would have had a greater chance of succeeding.
After Kennedy's civilian "experts" got through with Ike's plan, the invasion was doomed. However because of secrecy requirements, the mision planners, local commanders and troops did not understand how the good plan, approved by Ike, had been changed into one that guaranteed failure.
politicians calling Osama "irrelevant", but now he has the likes of Castro denying him all the glory he thought he surely had earned. The world's mass murderers really need to get on the same page or have a newsletter listing their talking points so they won't be stepping on each other's toes.
I have to wonder why he or his government has any credibility at all with anyone who cares about truth?
Bill O'Reilly has had a number of montages recently featuring crack-job celebrities saying something similar to this. So is the American left getting its talking points from bin Laden, Castro, etc. or is it the other way around?
