"Mugabe said: “We were caught unaware and next time we should not be found wanting if a similar drought occurs"

. . .surely there must be a special place in hell with his name on it.

Mugabe launched his customary attack on British Prime Minister Tony Blair, describing him as gay.

He said the opposition MDC was a party of lesbians and gays.

Mugabe said all factories shut by their owners would be investigated thoroughly, claiming some of them stopped production to force him out of power.

“We want to know if they closed down due to viability problems or because they wanted people to be out of employment so that they would revolt against me.

“We are going to take over some of these factories and give them to the workers,” he said.

,,, for certain, the advanced symptoms of tertiary stage syphilis.

Clive, what a shame the War on Terror isn't colourblind.

That is a real possibility, but there is no one to take the looney out.

... ordered white farmers resisting forced evictions from their properties to leave the country.

Isn't that Ethnic Cleansing, and punishable the ICC?

,,, this idiot races around the countryside deciding what he'll personally plunder for himself and his relatives. I think his brains could be spread over his Benz 600 a lot easier than Gaddafi's could if someone decided to commit to it.

Stalin, Castro, and Chavez would be proud of this nutball.

Yes, but now comes the test of the West, and of all those intelligent black Africans. Will anyone have the guts to take the 78 year-old looney and his goons out and save Zimbabwe, or will PC rule? And if nobody takes the old buggerer out, guess who all won.

Reagan, at least, went after Gaddafi, too bad the bomb missed. It kept Qaddifi in his hole for many years. I've read about Gaddafi's recent trip to South Africa. What a hoot! Not to mention the on-going UN conference in SA about saving the earth, while chowing down on lobster, pates, and hundreds of pounds of other rich goodies, while the poor they're talking about stand outside. This is like the 1930's, the world's gone mad again and all do to Marxist-left wingers without a brain in their "collective" head.

A laughing out loud bump.

Thanks for the update. Following these Zimbabwe stories from day to day is like watching a toilet load swirling, swirling, slowly and relentlessly swirling out of sight forever.

"Accepts blame"--not.

This madman destroyed farm production in his racist jihad.

And blames "this drought".

And now will take over factories and "give them to the workers".

Mugabe must die, and the sooner the better.
By bullet, or bomb, or anthrax in a letter.
To save the lives of six million, take that of one.
Send Richard Simmons to give him a lap dance--aneurism--he's done.

Get Mugabe out of the building. No aid, no IMF--just do the MF.

I think it was H.L. Mencken who said "even the most ruthless tyrant has but one throat to cut."
