Zim "Veterans" ready to take-up arms

[Repline]

Harare - President Robert Mugabe has warned that veterans of Zimbabwe's 1970s liberation war are prepared to take up arms again rather than see the opposition win a June 27 election, state media has reported.

"They came to my office after the (first round of) elections and asked me: 'Can we take up arms?'," Mugabe was quoted by the Herald newspaper as telling a rally in Murehwa, to the northeast of Harare.

"They said this country was won by the barrel of the gun and should we let it go at the stroke of a pen? Should one just write an X and then the country goes just like that?"

Meh. The funny thing is a lot of these "war veterans" are about 20 years old. They just want an excuse to **** people up. There was another article in the M&G I read this morning. Apparently the people are fighting back.

But seriously, this is just bull****. I rate we all just go in there and make them surrender. Mugabe is going to massacre half his country I can tell you right now.
