Castro: Obama's accepting of Nobel prize 'cynical'

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/america ... 74679.html

HAVANA -- Fidel Castro is calling President Barack Obama's accepting of the Nobel Peace Prize a "cynical act," given that he is sending 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan.

The 83-year-old former Cuban leader initially applauded Obama's selection, but he has backed off that recently.

In a column on a government Web site Wednesday, Castro wrote: "Why did Obama accept the Nobel Peace Prize when he had already decided to take the war in Afghanistan to its ultimate limit?"

Castro said Obama "was not obligated to commit a cynical act" by accepting the prize.

He said Obama's Dec. 1 speech during which he announced that additional U.S. forces would go to Afghanistan gave him the "impression of listening to George W. Bush."

:roflmao:

I'll agree with you there, he should have declined the award. Although to be fair, those who awarded him the award must have been pretty daft to not realize Obama had little choice but to send more troops to Afghanistan. And from a military point of view, if Obama didn't send more troops or pulled out entirely, the human suffering in Afghanistan would certainly sky rocket. So even if Obama's strategy may be the best path to piece I wouldn't give him the award until he achieves it.

On a plus side, you should at least be happy that the award itself doesn't seem to be influencing his policy decisions.

Obama had to send more troops, no question there. Castro also has no business comenting on Obama, I just find the whole thing funny.

Being in South Florida, I see Castro news all over the place propbably unlike the rest of the world.
