Cuba Raises Eyebrow at
Bush Tantrum
Cuban Foreign Minister
Felipe Perez Roque
termed scandalous and
rude US President George
W. Bush's stance at the
UN General Assembly.
"Bush, with a crude
language and arrogant
voice, insulted and
threatened ten countries
and gave strict and
authoritarian orders to
the General Assembly,"
the island's diplomatic
chief stated Wednesday.
"It was an embarrassing
show, the delirium
tremens of the world
gendarme. The imperial
power's intoxication,
livened up with all
mediocrity and cynicism
of those who threaten
with wars in which they
do not put at risk their
life," said the island's
official.
The Cuban foreign
minister indicated that
the statesman also
talked of democracy,
questionable after his
arrival in the White
House through fraud and
deception.
"Bush is responsible for
the death of 600,000
civilians in Iraq,
authorizing torture at
the US naval base in the
illegally occupied Cuban
territory of Guantanamo
and Abu Ghraib, and he
is accomplice to the
kidnapping and
disappearance of people,
secret flights and
illegal jails," he
stated.
"Bush spoke against
terrorism, but has
guaranteed total
impunity to abominable
terrorist groups that,
from Miami, Florida,
have perpetrated
horrific crimes against
the Cuban people," Perez
Roque concluded. |
