Finally. We should have done this a long time ago. And Mugabe, if you get in the way, I know some Royal Marines and SAS men who would love to put a bullet in your rancid carcass.

This has been inevitable ever since the day the bloody British refused to accept the independence of Ian Smith's Rhodesia. It amounts to a nation devouring its own children, on behalf of savages one step out of cannibalism.
The price Britain is about to pay for this, since there IS a God in heaven, no matter what Britain thinks, is a monstrously high and incalculable one.
Never send to know for whom the coming Asteroid is looking, GB, it is looking for YOU!

We are late to the game, but finally, we are doing the right thing. It's too bad eliminating Mugabe is not on the cards. What we should have done is never taken down the Union Jack over Africa. Anywhere.

This is going to get rather messy ! The SAS versus a bunch of drunken war veterans? Yes, Mugabe's boys are going to be going home in body bags. Good.

Inevitable from the moment the Jack came down, I think we ARE agreed.

So what's the over-under date for the same thing happening in South Africa? August 1, 2007? (just to throw a date out there)
To: MadIvan
So why all this effort when an operation to take out Mugabe and a few of his henchment would take about five minutes.

Actually, the best outcome would be for the thugs to come out and fight. By the time the last empty hits the ground, Rhodesia would be a fact again.
One question. Once the white farmers are driven out of this benighted country, who is going to grow the food to feed the populace? Answer: The UN will demand that the west provide the food free.

Take a look at the map of Africa.
The nearest port is Biera which is 250 km from Zim's eastern border across Mozambique. The nearest place for a naval task force is the Mozambique Channel.
In a military adventure, logistics is determinative.
Any expedition into Zim will need the acquiescence of South Africa or Mozambique and probably both.
An ostensible expedition to extract British and Commonwealth nationals has probably gotten the nod from Mbeki.
An ostensible expedition by a former colonial power to take out the revolutionary president of an African nation will never be accepted anywhere in Africa.
Sometimes an "ostensible" can lead to a different actual "for reasons of operational necessity".

And we can't have that.

Answer: The UN will demand that the west provide the food free. If I see a "Zimbabwe Relief Fund" commercial on my telly I am not going to give a farthing to it. Sod them, they had the ability to eat, they threw it away.

They won't ASK for the money. They'll just take it. Foreign aid and all that.
To: MadIvan
"But if the war veterans start to evict farmers and there is mass slaughter of UK nationals we will be forced to intervene." Explain to me how this statement makes any sense?
Is it the eviction or the slaughter that will provoke action?
It is my impression that most of these white farmers are not British citizens, so, what's being said?
When the slaughter begins, they will kill all the whites, right? (so what about them?)
How long have we known that Africans do not believe that "diversity is our strength" BS?
I'm not as encouraged as most of you about this news, the Brits have gone wobbly.
