Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday his close friend and ally Fidel Castro is in a "great battle for life," but he also expressed optimism about the 79-year-old Cuban leader's recovery.
"From here, let's pray to God for Fidel and his recovery, and he's fighting a great battle," Chavez said in a televised speech from the eastern state of Anzoategui.
Chavez said he had received a message from Castro on Wednesday "that filled me with more optimism, with more faith."
"Among other things Fidel told me ... 'I keep saying Chavez, God help Chavez and his friends,'" Chavez said.
Castro is a communist, and by definition an atheist. Has he had a death bed conversion? They say there are no atheists in foxholes. Looks like there aren't any atheists in Cuban hospitals either.
