here is the link from CNN

49 years as President of Cuba. He outlasted a lot of US presidents. Bet they didn't think he would retire because of old age.

Federal Castro - Fidel's capitalist twin.....

I just got the humour in that :)

Holy shit balls! About time. Who takes charge now? Part of is Bro club?

God, hope that's not gonna happen. This fine place had no obnoxious Americans. I pray it stays that way :(

A buddy of mine is headed there in a few days , , , wonder if he will make it in time for the funeral.

Another era passes into the realm of memories – I was a small child when he came to power.

Notice I didnt say a word....

This is the new Damian that comes with less drama.

You all thought it though.... :winkwink:

How much does property cost there to buy ?

he had a good run

exactly, he can't complain

Did not read the thread. I did read the news. No change will come.

So soon? lol

The guy survived an estimated 638 assassination attempts.

He must have been doing something right. :)

So what happens now, is his brother taking back over?

He´s probably dead...

he would have to kill him first

:disgust

I think he has been dead. They can make it official and bury him now.

DAMN! That's awesome...I hope good things are to come from this though. It could be bad

if and when they ever become democratic they would first have to return all the property the government stole from its rightful owners

You can't buy property there, it's all public

What a damn shame really..... For fifty years Cuba has been suffering. I'm not placing blame on either the US or Castro.... Cubans have such a wonderful culture; It would be wonderful to open up the country again to tourists. My mother recently visited Cuba and from the pictures it looked wonderful.

Sounds like he is temporarily, then they elect a new guy in the next few days. Raul Castro is like a hundred years old too, they need someone a little younger I think.

what are you talking about dude. Cuba IS open to tourists. I myself have spent a lot of time there. It was the bets time of my life and am thinking of going back to spend even more. After 6 months in Cuba, my spirit and health improved like never before. I've never seen people who would be so happy and relaxed like Cubans. I have never been to a country that's this safe - with no gang activity or drug cartels in your backyard. Cuba has been a great country, and always welcoming of tourists. Plus you can enjoy your stay without obnoxious Americans. It's a heaven on Earth. If this ends, it's gonna be truly sad. I've been planning a trip with a long stay in Cuba. Hope I can make it before filthy Americans invade it.

I hope you meant :

" .. that the USA let US citizens travel freely to Cuba.... "

Could very well be true. I don't know why so many see Castro's stepping down/demise as some big indication of a shining new age or something, the next guy in power could be just as controlling or far worse, at least as far as the US is concerned. Canadians have been heading to Cuba for vacations for decades now. They love us there.

LMAO to you loser... posting on american forum, sig whoring (yeah, thats all you do here) american affiliate program and still continues to whine...

IDIOT. Just STFU :321GFY

Was about time :)

Don't really see that this is going to change anything

All this means is that instead of being in the public eye calling the shots, he's gonna do it from behind a curtain. I doubt much will change there.

Then what would be the point of him retiring?

I'm thinking bd might be right on this one. There's been speculation that he's been dead for awhile now.

The "retirement" could just be for appearances' sake.

mojitos here I come ! :D
