Fidel 'Light' Prepares for Possible U.S. Invasion

Fox News

Fidel Castro's brother, Raul, has spoken out for the first time since becoming acting president of Cuba, revealing that after his brother's illness he mobilized the country's armed forces against a possible U.S. invasion.

Castro tells the state communist newspaper: "We could not rule out the risk of somebody going crazy — or even crazier — within the U.S. government."

A State Department spokesman says the U.S. has no plans to invade Cuba and isn't impressed with the comments from what he called Fidel "light."
