Cuba slams Bush for acting like world's policeman
Adjust font size:

Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque on Wednesday accused US President George W. Bush of acting like the world's policeman, saying that he had no right to judge any other country.

 

In a speech at the general debate of the UN General Assembly, Perez Roque said: "With a foul language and an arrogant tone, President Bush insulted and threatened some ten countries; he gave orders, in a firm and authoritarian fashion."

 

Bush told the assembly in Tuesday's speech that "in Cuba, the long rule of a cruel dictator is nearing its end," urging the Central American country to have "free and competitive elections."

 

Besides Cuba, Bush also passed judgment upon some other countries.

 

In a protest against Bush's speech, the Cuban delegation stormed out of the plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly.

 

"With such bossiness never ever seen in this hall, he dished out terms and judgments on a score of countries," he said, referring to Bush's speech at the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

 

"It was an embarrassing show," Perez Roque said. "The delirium tremens of the world's policeman, sprinkled with the mediocrity and the cynicism of those who threaten to launch wars in which they know their life is not at stake."

 

He stressed that the US president had "no right at all to pass judgment on any other sovereign nation."

 

Perez Roque said that Bush's trumpeting of democracy was a lie because "he came into office through fraud and deceit."

 

The foreign minister also said that Bush is responsible for the death of 600,000 civilians in Iraq and for authorizing "tortures at the Guantanamo Naval Base and at Abu Ghraib."

 

The US president has "no moral authority or credibility to judge anyone," he said.

 

Washington does not have full diplomatic relations with Havana, and has maintained an economic embargo on Cuba for decades.
