Fidel Castro, leader of the Cuban Revolution, ruled out a possible Colombian military attack on Venezuela. 

"There is not the remotest possibility Colombia would attack Venezuela, because it is not interested, it can't, it doesn't want to, and it knows that the consequences would be disastrous," Fidel Castro stated in a meeting with Venezuelan journalists Vanessa Davis, Andres Izarra, Walter Martínez and Mario Silva held on Sunday. 

Responding to a question about the U.S. strategy of occupying Colombia to attack Venezuela, the Cuban leader said they would need time, "but they're not going to have it -- nothing, not even five percent of the time they would need to carry it out."

Let's assume "the Bolivarian Revolution fails, which is one of the objective they are seeking. They are planning to use weapons as a last resort. When is the moment of last resort, after they've made all their efforts, as they did to overthrow the revolutionary government in 2002?" he asked.

The first secretary of the Cuban Communist Party also placed great importance on the work of the mass media, saying it should tell the truth about what is going to happen; therefore, he trusts in the transmission of an idea, because it will help "our man" (referring to US President Barack Obama) not to make a mistake.

The Venezuelan Revolution shook this hemisphere, he aid, expressing gratitude to the government of Hugo Chavez for the support given to the Cuban people in difficult times.

Fidel Castro also expressed optimism about the return of the five Cuban anti-imperialist fighters unfairly imprisoned in the United States since 1998.

Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon Labañino and Rene Gonzalez are currently serving harsh sentences in separate high-security prisons, for gathering information about terrorist plots by anti-Cuban organizations based in Miami, Florida.
