I was under the impression that Savimbi wasn't a communist, though most of the anti-colonial African groups in the 60's were. The first I heard of him was when the Cubans were meddling in Africa and his group was fighting the Cuban supported Angolan government.

Anyway, this ain't the first time he's been reported killed.

Savimbi was a self-seeking warlord, pure and simple. His death is a massive step in the right direction.

THIS IS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL OUTRAGE!! President Bush cooperated with Communist Angolan leader Jose dos Santos to sanction UNITA and deprive them of funding and weapons even while providing Communist Angola with tens of millions of US aid every year. Now thanks to the failed Bush pro-Communist Angolan policy, the last greater anti-Communist freedom leader on the planet has been liquidated. UNITA is the last anti-Communist freedom fighter organization left on the world. Most of the others were defeated and their nations thoroughly Communized especially those in Africa. How strange that Communism is triumphing in so many countries even while we hear the constant tired refrain that "Communism is dead." Bush is now planning to meet with Angolan Communist murderer Jose dos Santos, even before the blood of anti-communist freedom fighter Jonas Savimbi on his hands has dried. Stand by to receive Bush protest information...
