NEW YORK — Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe yesterday accused the United States of deliberately neglecting homeless black victims of Hurricane Katrina while condemning him for demolishing urban slums.

Mugabe also told the UN General Assembly that former colonial ruler Britain, which inspired European diplomatic sanctions against Zimbabwe, was equally as hypocritical by participating in an “illegal” and “devastating” invasion of Iraq.

“These imperialist countries have unashamedly abused the power of the media by hypocritically portraying themselves as philanthropists and international saviors of victims of various calamities,” Mugabe said.

“They have remained silent about the shocking circumstances of obvious state neglect surrounding the tragic Gulf Coast, where a whole community of mainly nonwhites was deliberately abandoned to the ravages of Hurricane Katrina as sacrificial lambs,” he told the assembly.

His intentional destruction of the tin shacks of poor folks made them, and I'm not joking..'very happy', in his words.

Not to mention the 'displacement', to use a polite term (the other is theft, murder, rampant pillaging, etc)...of farmers in his push for 'land-reform...(who just happen to be white)...

First Republican since Nixon to admit the truth. I've got to give him that for honesty.

The guy is a tyrant.

Hell, I'm surprised Mugabe isn't a fan of Bush. He's a fucking authoritarian nutjob that won rigged elections just like himself.
