[NYTr] Cuba, Nicaragua vs US at UN Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 22:49:58 -0500 (CDT) Via NY Transfer News Collective * All the News that Doesn't Fit Prensa Latina, Havana http://www.plenglish.com Nicaragua-Cuba Vs US at UN United Nations, Sep 25 (Prensa Latina) Labeling the US blockade of Cuba as "brutal and inhumane," Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega lashed back at anti-Cuba attacks from US President George W. Bush at the United Nations on Tuesday. On addressing the 62nd UN General Assembly, Ortega called it "absolute disrespect" for Bush to talk about Cuba when Bush represents a system that ordered the assassination of President Fidel Castro. It (the US) insists on continuing this ruthless blockade while, for political and economic reasons, it holds ties with other countries of ideological divergence, added Ortega. The Nicaraguan statesman recalled the over 40 years of victims of the US unilateral economic, commercial and financial hammerlock on Cuba and its heroic and noble people, targets of attacks "of every nature." Ortega also recalled the Five Cuban heroes imprisoned in the US since 1998 for fighting terrorism, and lashed against imperialist global capitalism, calling the US government the greatest dictatorship in the history of humankind. hr ccs emw nm PL-39 * ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us Our main website: http://www.blythe.org List Archives: http://blythe-systems.com/pipermail/nytr/ Subscribe: http://blythe-systems.com/mailman/listinfo/nytr =================================================================
