 HAVANA (AP) - Fidel Castro said Friday he made the right call when he called it quits, and is exhausted and overdue for a vacation. But the old man can't put away his pen just yet, not when U.S. presidential candidates are one-upping each other to show who's toughest on Cuba.
After a Thursday night debate in which Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama argued about how best to push for change in Cuba, Republican John McCain bluntly said Friday that he hopes Castro will die "very soon."
With comments like these flying around the campaign trail and the White House dissing his younger brother Raul as a "dictator lite," Castro said he couldn't hold back.
