Havana.- Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Friday criticized ex U.S. president Bill Clinton for "lying" about the aid to rebuild Haiti and about the international medical assistance currently being sent to fight the cholera epidemic.
In an article published today titled "The lies of Clinton," Cuba’s ex- president also called the meeting of the Haiti Interim Reconstruction Commission (CIRH) held Wednesday in Santo Domingo, a "deceitful maneuver," which in his view solved "absolutely nothing."
According to Castro, after the meeting Clinton – the UN special envoy for Haiti- admitted that only 897 million dollars have been disbursed of the more than 5.7 billion pledged for Haiti for the 2010-2011 period for the country’s post quake reconstruction, bug even those 897 million, “are nowhere to be seen."
The Cuban leader also accuses the ex President of disdaining the work by the Cuban medical crews and from other nations of the region which crisscross that impoverished country.
"Clinton with his lies tries to ignore the work of the thousands of Cuban and Latin American doctors, nurses and technicians who are bearing the brunt in the battle to defeat the epidemic in the only possible manner, which is by penetrating the country’s most isolated corners."
Castro begins his article assuring that "it’s really sad to have to rebuke him," describes Clinton as "an man with a goodhearted aspect."

Regarding the scam I have gotten tons of those in the past, my standard answer is :
""Thank your message, I am not interested in your offer at this time but I am certain the Uniteds States FBI will be happy to hear from you, I will forward your message to them, please expect an answer soon"
Thats the last time I heard from that one and eventually they all stop writing to me since they all share information as to who is more receptive to this time of email

Regarding Castro's decrepit articles:
First the infrastructure in Haiti no only physically but socially and politically is not very stable still, if you give them 800 plus million dollars and they cant account for it will you go ahead and give them another 5 billions, I dont think so unless the conditions are created to use the money the best way possible to benefit the people of the country as whole not just a small group of corrupted politicians.
Castro failed to mention that all those Doctors, nurses, techs etc that went to haiti and to many other countries over the past 51 years risking it all are not volunteer but poorly paid slaves.

Btw Fidel ! Its ok to roll over and die now sir .

Castro is too kind. Clinton was a two-faced liar the whole time he was in office. "Good hearted" people don't make their lives revolve around deceit, distortions, political opportunism and under-the-table deals. He was the first US president to truly perfect the "say one thing, do completely the opposite" for the age of mass-media. Just because US presidents get to get away with their lies and murders doesn't make them any more legitimate than any other nations.

What's the point of this Wiki Leak This guy is pissed because he cant have it his way in DR. Dick Cheney just got indicted in Nigeria for bribing officials in that country while he was working for Halliburton( issues dealing with oil contracts). I guess in the old days this would have been enough of an infraction to warrant CIA subversive activities in DR for LF is not playing his position.

How can any free man defend a system that oppresses its people?
There is nothing good about Cuba. Education ok lets go there you have to work the field while going to school under terrible conditions, is it free or are you paying it with hard labor?
Medicine sure is a great system for the tourist, cubans get sick they have to bring everything to the hospital and if they are given a prescription they cant fill it unless they pay with US dollars (by the way a doctor makes the equivalent of $20.00 US dollars a month.
Lets not even talk about freedom of speech, association, religion, free enterprise, etc etc there isnt any.
I dare anyone here to go there and live like the regular cubans do for a month and then come back with the same opinion.

Agreed !
And it is for that reason alone that Americans should be able to travel there and see for themselves how good we whiny spoiled brat Gringos really have it on the other side of Fidels malecon as I did . The second to none education system that Cuba boasts about is extremley exaggerated and one only has to listen to the Cubans speaking ''cubanish ''on a habana street corner for proof of this lol.( Possibly not much better than Dominicanish lol.) In fact, the first thing Castro did when he started rationing the nations food supply was to remove the letter S from thier alphabet soup .

I just find it amazing that anyone can justify a dictatorship for 51 years I don't care if is from the left, the center or the right is not democracy period, anything else is irrelevant.
I don't care how poor DR is how corrupted, "IS FREEEE". Jesus can't you get it freedom is more important than anything else, a man needs to be free even to die if he is to die in peace.
