US President George W. Bush made plain his feelings about Fidel Castro on Thursday -- wishing the Cuban leader would disappear.
"One day the good Lord will take Fidel Castro away," Bush said in response to a question after a speech at the Naval War College.
Asked whether Bush was wishing Castro dead, White House National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said: "The president was commenting on an inevitable event."
Castro has long been a thorn in the side of US presidents, defying them and outlasting them in office. Since coming to power in a 1959 revolution, the Cuban leader has seen 10 US presidents occupy the White House.
