The sheer audacity of it all never ceases to amaze me.

When is the CIA gonna get this guy out of the way?

IKR?
I suppose this would be one time where a CIA sponsored military coup would be justified...

If he did order the attack (which is likely), I doubt it was targeted at Tsvangirai's wife so much as it was at Tsvangirai himself.

Anyway, I'd think that Mugabe has too much police protection for him to be able to easily die in a car crash.

Saddest thing is, when he finally dies, a senior member of his party will take his place and nothing will change.

Die. In. A. Fire. Then maybe Zimbabwe can eat you.

I don't even care how horrible that sounds.

What an unmitigated bastard. Fuck you, Mugabe.
