McGee, MDC meet before summit


Floyd Nkomo in Johannesburg, SA

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 12:27:00 +0000



THE United States ambassador to Zimbabwe met with Movement for Democratic Change leaders just before the regional summit on Zimbabwe opened.

According to insider sources, the US ambassador briefed the MDC leadership on the interests of the United States in the ongoing talks.

The summit of the Southern African Development Community was not open to members of the diplomatic corps. Ambassador McGee is believed to have come up with some terms of reference for the MDC.

A source in the opposition party who spoke to the Zimbabwe Guardian said, “McGee briefed the MDC about the development in the US and how the discussions in the ongoing talks would be affected by the election of a new President in America.”

“He reassured the MDC team that there would no fundamental shift in US policy, although the Republican party stood to be replaced by US President-elect, Barack Obama’s administration.”

McGee is due to step down as Ambassador to Zimbabwe in less than two months.

He met with the MDC’s international relations chief Eliphas Mukonoweshuro, MP Jameson Timba and legal advisor Innocent Chagonda before the summit opened.

Our source said the invitation to the briefing was not extended to the Zanu PF party.

It is also believed that former US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Christopher Dell was also present in that meeting although he is currently serving as Deputy Chief of Mission in Kabul, Afghanistan.

“We were surprised to see (Christopher) Dell at the venue. Last time I saw Dell was at the Harare airport in July last year,” said our source.

I wish to apologize to Zimbabweans. Ambassdor McGee does not represent all black Americans. Hopefully, President Obama will give this house nigger the boot!
Long Live Mugabe! Black America support the land reform program in Zimbabwe. The MDC is a front for white Europeans who want to steal the natural resources of Zimbabwe. Black America will not let this happen though. We are in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of Zimbabwe and we oppose the sanctions by the WEST.

It is these shameless black Zimbabweans who think that anyone is someone when they have the approval of the white man! People like McGee who is a House Nigger and is told by his master to go and fight his wars firstly in Vietnam and then now in Zimbabwe to become acceptable and be eligible for an invite to dinner where they get served last and when some of the white guests are already leaving, are really an embarrassment to all the black people of this world! Just like Harry Belafonte described Colin Powell as a major, major embarrassment to all African-Americans, look what became of him (Powell), when he no longer served his masters interests he was spat out like the House Nigger he was and was replaced by Bush's mistress the not so comely Condom Loser Lice and Jendayi Fat Ar-e the Size of Brazil Frazer! That is what these bloody nincompoops and mamparas must know! The white man stands for white interests and not black interests or salvation of blacks thereof! If it is black and has a whiteman behind it, run and run away like hell coz its a monster and we now see that for ourselves in Zimbabwe! Tsvangirayi without any shame can now be seen blatantly and brazenly cavorting in SA with those people that killed, maimed and massacred our people during our fight for independence! Lest it may be forgotten, we fought hard and long for our independence and we will fight hard and long to defend that independence. Aluta Continua!

N/A on what basis do you find McGee more acceptable to Zimbabweans than Zanu PF? What have Zimbabweans benefited from McGee in real terms? Criticism of Mugabe and Zanu PF? Before you fly in with the humanitarian aid rhetoric let me put the record straight to a good number of us that McGee doesn't own the Non Governmental Organisations and doesn't reflect the views of ordinary USA citizens. Most don't even share or approve the sad scenario in Zimbabwe where NGOs are caught up in the current regime change agenda. Why do you expect Zimbabweans to hate Almedinajan whom very few are likely to know anyway? Because USA hates him? I'm afraid more Zimbabweans are likely to hate McGee than Almedinajan on the basis of what fortunes they are perceived to bring to their hungry and suffering lives. Personally I think McGee has been a consistent and faithful ambassador for USA interests. I also think it's naive for Tsvangirai to imagine McGee reneging in matters that present a conflict of interest between USA and Zimbabwe especially in the ongoing talks. Unless you of course you are the group that believes USA has no interests in Zimbabwe all the interference and sanctions is driven by the interests of the suffering populace. Or maybe you are the other group that think USA out the goodness of their heart have intervened by smart and targeted sanctions towards Mugabe and Zanu PF.

Stop dreaming and wake up, McGee will not be turning up at your doorstep for dinner and since the cost of golf kit is way above that of your house don't even consider a round at the course, so save yourself some embarasment and keep the invite to yourself. N/A, you are way below PAR!

On the contrary, Cde Ahmadinejad could possibly view it differently (and bring you some oil and nuclear energy technology) for he knows how to deal with imperialists and those who believe that only Western Democracy is the way forward for every Tom, Dick and Harriet.

Sharia Law is not bad at all where it is practised and it has now established itself in pockets of UK. You only have to understand it and those who subscribe to it to appreciate their tradition and religion. Ko, takafanana tose-tose here? Aihwa!

In Pakistan, one is Muslim first then Pakie second, that's how it works. That way they destroy the geo-political regions by putting religion upfront.

Those are the boundaries that the US and UK have long since used to divide and rule us with. Obama won because he made himself blind to Red and Blue States, only seeing The USA.

Very soon you will also be asking the Batswana who are hosting your Militias to follow your customs because you think that public floggings are not in order and yet it is their culture and it definitely works for them handsomely.

Aihwa, isu veZANU taramba. Washington and London have no right to try and impose their bankrupt ideologies and philosophies in Harare.

Don't critcise what you don't know, rather study it!

They are now trekking to Asia (Land of Zhing Zhong!) and Arab States to seek funding for their failing economies. When we do it isu veZANU vavarova nemaSanctions zvonzi zvaipa, zvaitirwei neZimbabwe.

Morgan Tsvangirayi, being a slave to his masters just follows suit. Just heard that one of his backroom staff has been hailing insult to Bush. I am sure it was the same Bush who sent The Great MDC Saviours like Dell and McGee, aipei nhasi Bush?

Zvedi, kurera imbwa nemukaka magwana inofuma yokuruma.

The African-Americans are struggling as second class citizens in the US. Why does McGee not use his influence to better his own people in the US. Zims don't want him. Where was he when we fought for our real freedom and democracy in Zim? Is he still bitter that the Vietcongs thrashed him in the 70's.
Let this house nigger go back to where he belongs and take that other house nigger Tsvangirai with him.

Nothing wrong in Mr. McGee meeting with the MDC. Zanu PF has been consulting with that terrorist ALMEDINAJAN of Iran. What can you get from Iran? Sharia law? McGee is a friend of peace loving Zimbabweans. Only the beneficiaries of Zanu PF's corruption and dictatorship, like your sorce, can find anything wrong with McGee. I would rather invite Mr McGee to have a meal at my house than Almedinajan. Why not talk about Zanu PF using 18 year old Policemen to beat 65 year old women on the backside with button sticks? That is the issue to talk about.
