The Cuban leader opined that the ultra-conservative sectors have the "sinister idea" of provoking an armed conflict between the U.S. and the Caribbean Island, with the hope of liquidating the Revolution.

"They forget that he who tries to take over Cuba will only collect the dust of an earth bathed in blood, if they don't die in battle," said Castro.

The dictator alleged that President George W. Bush arrived to power thanks to the disgraceful election fraud committed by the anti-Cuban groups in Florida, noting that the present hostility of the White House against the island is the result of the commitments acquired by the president with those exiles.

"A grateful man, (Bush) does not hide his commitments to the Miami Mafia and the promises he made to them at a meeting in Texas," said the Cuban leader. "Bush's pledge was to resolve the problem by physically eliminating me, something that after 40 years of aggression and crimes against Cuba did not surprise nor greatly concern me," he added.

Castro said that a country is not conquered by armored divisions, thousands of tanks, helicopters, planes, dozens of aircraft carriers, bombers, fighters and tens of thousands of missiles -- assuring his country men that the mercenary groups in Miami would not last "as long as a cake at the door of a school. Tens of thousands of combatants will take the place of any superior who dies in a battle and none of the main Cuban leaders will ever surrender."

The Cuban president said that any war with the U.S. would not end with the occupation of the Island as it would just be the beginning.

In an apparent reference to cyber-war, Castro noted that the people already know the tactics and ways to struggle to reduce Washington's technological superiority to zero.
