For Immediate Release Office of the Press Secretary November 22, 2008
Statement by the President on Zimbabwe
White House News
Nearly eight months have passed since the Zimbabwean people voted for a new president, yet they still are governed by an illegitimate regime that continues to suppress democratic voices and basic human rights. In addition to its disastrous economic policies which have forced half the population to rely on food assistance, the Mugabe regime is now assaulting doctors and nurses, denying citizens access to basic medical services, and stealing donor funds intended for HIV/AIDS patients.
In October alone, independent organizations documented some 1,300 incidents of politically-motivated violence and harassment by the regime. We call for an end to the Mugabe regime's brutal repression of basic freedoms and for the formation of a legitimate government that represents the will of the people as expressed in the March 2008 elections.
In spite of the regime's aggressive actions against its own people, the United States will continue to honor its commitment to provide emergency humanitarian assistance, already totaling $186 million in 2008, and stands ready to provide other forms of assistance pending the formation of a legitimate government that represents the will of the Zimbabwean people.

There’s one way to fix the problem...
?send them Obama?
Give them a bailout!
That’s nothing compared to the future of West Zimbabwe (formerly USA).
WHY??!! When they just said themselves that the money is being stolen! American taxpayers are NOTHING anymore but a cash cow for government spending, while our voices are ignored. I’m so SICK of it, I wish we could get away with not paying the stinking taxes anymore! Thanks a lot Woodrow Wilson! And FDR! And all the governments since, who have encroached more and more on our freedom, while confiscating more and more of our money! I don’t want ANYTHING from this government but to be left the hell alone by it!!!!!!!!
Go ahead send some money down that rathole. If you let the people who made that wealth possible in the first place keep it you might end up with prosperity and that simply would not do!
Just send in the "Real Jason Bourne" but not the jerk that plays the part in the movies.
The "Real Jason Bourne" would not "blank out" and "fail" to do the "right thing."
One can only hope someone has the ball$ to do the job.
