The addled Fidel Castro thinks that the Libyan uprising is a pretext for a US invasion.

Cuba’s former leader Fidel Castro says it’s too early to criticize Libya’s government - but just the moment to denounce something says is planned: A U.S.-led invasion of the North African nation.

Castro uses a column published in Cuban media on Tuesday to accuse the United States of planning a NATO invasion of Libya to control its oil. He says that might happen “in a question of hours or very short days.”

He says the plan “has to be denounced.”
