DeLay: Castro's 78th Not So Happy for
Cubans; Another Year of Thugocracy, Kleptocracy
SUGAR LAND, Texas, Aug. 13 /U.S. Newswire/
-- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas)
today marked Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro's
78th birthday by encouraging the Cuban people
to continue in their hopes for a future
of liberty and urged the tyrant himself
to offer his people his resignation as a
birthday present.
"Today, Fidel Castro will celebrate
his 78th birthday, but it will be anything
but happy for the Cuban people," DeLay
said. "Castro is a murderer, a terrorist,
a thief, a coward, and a founding member
of the axis of evil. He is responsible for
the rape, murder, torture, imprisonment,
and disappearance of tens of thousands of
innocent Cubans."
"His thugocracy in Havana is a criminal
regime, corrupted beyond recognition from
any virtue it once pretended to serve. The
only happiness Fidel's celebration brings
is that it brings his people and the whole
human race one day closer to being rid of
him and his murderous kleptocracy once and
for all."
"The people of Cuba have suffered
long enough," DeLay added. "The
only birthday present they want is Castro's
immediate resignation and departure from
that island forever."
