Fidel Castro would take great comfort from your words. Luckily
incompetence won the day, on many days.

I didn't think the US military (as opposed to civilian arms of the
US government) were directly involved in any attempt to assassinate
Fidel Castro.

On the other hand, Saddam Hussein - were he alive today and
contributing to abpa - might want to mention 19 March and 7 April
2003 (al Dora and al Mansour respectively) as examples of
assassination attempts carried out by US forces.

Or does 'decapitation' not count as assassination?

many different things'.
