Havana, Cuba (The Adobo Chronicles) – Retired Cuban leader Fidel Castro has compared NATO with the Nazis while accusing the U.S., and in particular, former presidential candidate Senator John McCain, of war-mongering.

Castro criticized U.S. policy in the Middle East and called McCain “Israel’s most unconditional ally.”

The obviously enraged McCain fired back at Castro today by accusing the ailing Cuban leader of rumor-mongering. “To imply that I am responsible for U.S. policy in the Middle East is utter misinformation and is a total lie,” the Arizona senator said.

“Castro needs to immediately stop spreading the rumor that I am the president of the United States.  May I remind Castro that I lost the election to Barack Obama,” McCain added.

In his strongest attack yet against Castro, McCain referred to the Cuban leader as “El capitan muy loco.” (Very crazy captain).

Castro, of course, is a general.
