Well, there goes another mess in Africa. Zimbabwe.

Angola and Zambia turned the ship away too.  Wonder if it will go back to China or they burning up the telephone to sell it to another of their stellar clients.

I am half grossing about Peking. I am not kidding about Myanmar though. BURMA. Speaking of another unsavory client of BEIJING. Love the movie Sand Pebbles.

I would say they could send it to the US, but I've seen too much Norinco 7.62x39 that was corrosive when it was labeled as not being corrosive.

(Someone had some boxes at a show that had gotten damp. Labeled noncorrosive, but the primers had erupted in crystals of blue salts that had caused the steel cases to totally rust. Noncorrosive, right.)

3 million rounds of 7.62 commie. How much space does that take? I wonder how much I could fit into my apartment...they are welcome to send it here! Please include 100 Norinco AK's as well, select fire if you please .

Remember kids this might be a foreshadowing of a US under Obama. No guns for the people to defend themselves against the government that knows whats better for you than you do. That and the redistribution of wealth by force, made possible by said gun control. I pray that I'm just spouting tinfoilery here.

Angola and Zambia turned the ship away too. 

It was probably easy to convince Zambia to do so, seeing as they don't have much of a coastline.

Zambia has ports, airports.

Scores of children and babies have been locked up in filthy prison cells in Harare as Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwes president, sinks to new depths in his campaign to force the opposition into exile before an expected run-off in presidential elections.

Twenty-four babies and 40 children under the age of six were among the 250 people rounded up in a raid on Friday, according to Nelson Chamisa, spokesman for the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). Yesterday they were crammed into cells in Southerton police station in central Harare.

This is ruthlessness of the worst kind. How can you incarcerate children whose mothers have fled their homes hoping to give their children refuge? asked an emotional Chamisa yesterday. In Mugabes Zimbabwe even children are not spared the terror that befalls their parents.

Will someone please give the opposition a bunch of PSLs with scopes on them?

The RKBA is about hunting politicians, not woodland creatures.

If one needs to look for an example of life under Barry Obama, one only need look to Chicago:  the people disarmed and taxed to death.  Chicago, Illinois is a moronic government bent on reinforcing the failure of Socialism with brute force.

Sooooo...

For rats, not deer. 

Taxed to death?  What Illinois needs is more taxes, aren't you paying attention to Mayor Daley and Senator Obama?

Did they really think this guy would give up power? Place went to hell under his rule. This ought to get interesting.

No.  Guys like that have too many people who want them dead.  He can't quit.

I bet Mugabe could retire to Berkley or somesuch and be perfectly safe and adored.

If guys like Che and Fidel can be revered, certainly Bobby Mugabe can, too, don'thca think?

[Moondoggie]

I'm sure the Carter Center would hire Mugabe as a guest lecturer.

Probably provide a guest wing for him and his cronies and extend secret service protection for him and his clan.

Especially since Mugabe probably didn't personally murder as many people as Che . . . he had his henchmen liberation war veterans do it for him.

I'm sure the Carter Center would hire Mugabe as a guest lecturer.

Of course they would. The only Carter Center board members with a shred of ethics resigned a couple of years ago over Jimmy's "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid" book.
