Mugabe: Botswana denies plot

[dArKeR]

Gaborone - Botswana denied on Monday it was involved in plans to topple the government of Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.

Reports of such a plan have proliferated since the visit to Botswana in July of United States President George W Bush.

"We are outraged by these statements of vilification," said Botswanan foreign minister Mompati Merafhe of the allegations.

"It is alleged a US military base in Botswana will be used to launch such a military attack."

1. Mugabe remembers Patrice too well - The US has changed - Bush is

a good guy you can trust.

Doesn't lie, or send the CIA into a Country to run an off the books Army against a 3rd world country.

And we said Patrice was in our custody and safe back in the 60's - and then said oops he died - we never said we killed him.

Mugabe should act like our US media and never put two and two together - at least not unless he has a hand out from Rove as to how "two and two" are to be presented and understood.

Well - back to reading EU and Canadian media!

2. Mugabe is a horrible dictator who is guilty of many human rights

violations. His elections have been corrupt and he has destroyed his country's economy. Zimbabwe, which was once the "Breadbasket of Africa," now has a starving population due to his land policies. There is no "freedom of the press" to report on the atrocities from the region as he will arrest or have beaten anyone who reports a story that he does not like.
AIDS is so previlent in the area that a sentence of a week in jail is the same as a death sentence.

The American press has not primed it's audience; there will be no attack on Mugabe. While Zimbabwe is a beautiful country, with rich mineral deposits, it has no oil.
