Lawmakers worked into the night Tuesday as the United States government began mobilizing to possibly aid a transition towards democracy in Cuba following word that Fidel Castro has fallen ill.
Although the Bush administration appeared "suprised" to hear of the failing health of the Cuban dictator some believe that the CIA was directly involved in the situation.
In what is being called the "Pollo de Invasion" translated The Invasion of the Chicken, thousands of chickens believed infected with the Avian Bird Flu were dropped by crop dusters flown by CIA trained rebels over the capital of Havana.
Some locals were thrilled by the sights."It looked like the 1st of May...except with chickens!", said Andy Morales who described the almost festival atmosphere in the streets as the birds drifted to the ground. But by later in the evening, the sounds of joy turned to sadness as many of the Havanaites turned deathly ill.
It is still unknown whether these birds made their way into the Presidential compound but reports have come in that the heaviest concentration of chickens were near Castro's 1,200 sq. ft. hacienda.
Felipe Pérez Roque, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Cuba commented that if this was a preemtive strike against the soverign nation of Cuba, there could be serious reprecusions. Cuban baseball players have already been alerted to defect only to Columbia or Venezuela if these attacks continue.
