Cuba Raises Eyebrow at Bush Tantrum

United Nations, Sep 27 (Prensa Latina) 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.
