#1 I doubt that Bob will have a Mussolini Moment™. More likely he and a couple of planeloads of gold, diamonds, and all of Zim's remaining hard currency will soon be landing in Caracas or Havana....

#4 This is one of those rare moments in time where an agent with a suitcase of money can overthrow a country : about 10-15 million dollars in Rands or Pounds Sterling passed out to the right people, and Mugabe would be swinging from a light post by morning.

Of course if the CIA under President Bush were to overthrow this piece of sh!t, the Left/Dems in Congress would impeach Bush. BDS is so thick in DC today, that no good deed will go unpunished, if performed by Bush, the military, the CIA, or similar protectors of the American public.

#5 Zimbabwe is also plagued by widespread power blackouts, often lasting more than eight hours. A breakdown in municipal water treatment is blamed for an outbreak of cholera in Harare's Mabvuku township. Life expectancy has plummeted to 36, the world's lowest, the economy has shrunk by 50 per cent since 2000 and inflation hit its record last week. The International Monetary Fund predicts it will soar to above 4,000 per cent this year.

Is that whurring sound in the distance Zacatas or Locusts?
