In reply to the discussion: Cuba's Fidel Castro attacks 'lies' about his health [View all]JackRiddler

The 86-year-old man should run out and do a speech to please you. Because it's his job to "dispel doubts" (respond to the usual lies). Maybe you can exhaust and kill him by making up some bullshit every day.
My guess is, he's as near or as far from death as anyone else who's 86 - and doing a lot better than most people that your CIA allies have tried to kill 14 to 140 times (depending on which estimate we go by).
