THE OUTGOING United States President, George W. Bush has made a rare admission that Africans have a better judgment in finding solutions to the problems in Zimbabwe.
Speaking to TanzanianPresident Jakaya Kikwete on Friday the US President, who is leaving office in November this year, admitted that the US could take cues from African leaders about how best to approach the Zimbabwean issue.
"I … am looking forward to continuing our discussions on issues like Zimbabwe,” said Bush, adding that “These are issues that the president is most familiar with, issues in which he has got good judgment about how to proceed.”
“He (President Kikwete) also comes representing the African Union… (and) has kindly given me a briefing on how he sees the different situations and opportunities on the continent of Africa,” said Bush.
The US presidentalso said that he will respect the judgment of the AU in relation to the situation in the Darfur region of the Sudan.
Bush also admitted that his government “offered support to opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai” – a charge denied by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader.
Speaking at a luncheon to mark the opening of Parliament on Tuesday last week, President Mugabe said the British and Americans had visited all Sadc Heads of State to influence them to speak ill about Zimbabwe ostensibly because of the land issue.
“This time they have been promised by the British that sanctions would be more devastating, that in six months’ time the Government will collapse,” he added.

The WEST does not want to see a successful black African country like Zimbabwe succeed because it will encourage Namibia and South African black Africans to take back their native land.
I wish I could talk more but I'm packing up for a hurricane about to hit New Orleans. Please remember how Bush left Americans in New Orleans fend for themselves during hurricane Katrina. It was because the vast majority of New Orleanians were black. this should speak volumes about american and this is why I support Mugabe on the land reform program in zimbabwe. Africa for Africans; i make no apologies. Keep the peac, black american in new orleans.

Zim Patriots will never take seriously anything coming from the mouth of a destructive and wild bush devil!
They speak from BOTH sides of the mouth.
The ever-deceptive and evil Europeans will say that, AU has better solutions to African problems; while AT THE SAME TIME they are IMPOSING Europeans 'solutions' behind the scene!
History demonstrates one thing CLEARLY about Europeans to those who pay close attention to Her unmistakable lessons: Europeans ARE LIARS AND DECEIVERS, who should NEVER EVER be trusted under any circumstances!
The lost leaders of the MDC (Mentally Deluded by Colonialists) have become LIARS on account of their close association with the beastly brits and other evil Europeans.
Look Inward' and Look East, Zim Patriots.
The Russians are doing the same: Look East!
Rise Russia, Rise!
The evil European criminals need to be beaten back.

Never in the history of mankind has two idiots sought and found one another as these two. Add to this duo of imbeciles a perpertual loser in Blighty and a Hungarian export in France and you have a cocktail of political nincompoops. This coterie of losers explains why the world is fast going into Cold War overdrive! No leadership there! Hence the political and economic mess in Zim when the fat and greasy fingers of these incompetents start to involve themselves with our lives when they pull their strings on political chattels and puppets epitomised by the MDC!
