Did you read the part where castro says they will not go easy on fees the government puts on money being send to the island by families of Cubans
living abroad who send money to help our families?...
The former president appeared to be throwing a dose of cold water on growing expectations for improved bilateral relations — suggesting
Obama had no right to dare suggest that Cuba make even small concessions. He also seemed to suggest too much was being made of Raul's comments
about discussing "everything" with U.S. authorities.
"Affirming that the president of Cuba is ready to discuss any topic with the president of the United States expresses that he's not afraid to broach
any subject," Fidel Castro wrote of his 77-year-old brother, who succeeded him as president 14 months ago.
"It's a sign of bravery and confidence in the principles of the revolution," he said, referring to the rebel uprising that toppled dictator
Fulgencio Batista and brought the Castros to power on New Year's Day 1959.
"Nobody should assume that he was talking about pardoning those sentenced in March 2003 and sending all of them to the United States, if the
country were willing to liberate the five Cuban anti-terrorist heroes," Castro wrote.
He was referring to 75 leading political opposition leaders who were rounded up and imprisoned six years ago. Some 54 of them remain behind bars,
though Raul Castro suggested last year that Cuba would be willing to liberate some political prisoners if U.S. authorities would free five imprisoned
Cuban spies.

The anti-terrorist rebels he is refering to are Communist Cuba spies who were send to the U.S., and are part of the Communist regime, and infiltrated
various possitions of power in the U.S. Some were University professors, others were political figures in the U.S., etc.
Then again, there are people in the U.S. and abroad who are naive enough to claim castro, and his regime poses no threat to the U.S. when the
Communist regime in the island wouldn't hesitate for one second to get their hands in WMD and like North Korea's Kim Ill, make threats with those
weapons to get money, and even possibly thinking about using them before the "Communist Revolution" dies.
Some Americans, and other people abroad have no idea who castro and his regime are. Then again, I hope castro's statements wakes up some of these
people into understanding that you can't make concessions with such a regime, unless Obama openly states he is a Communist, and installs even more
Socialist programs to retain control of the power in the U.S. Only then will Communist regimes, such as the one oppressing our Cuban families at the
island, will openly do business with such countries. These people only do negotiations among themselves, and others who think like them.
Obama hasn't shown that yet apparently to Castro and Raul's Communist dictatorship, or even Chavez's Communist dictatorship.
