Zimbabwe drought is Tony Blair's fault too

I often noted that Robert Mugabe's regime blames Tony Blair for everything from Zimbabwe's economic catastrophe to the bad weather. That last part was just a bit of hyperbole to illustrate my point.

Or at least I thought it was.

Now, the regime really IS blaming Britain for the bad weather. The state-run Herald newspaper accused the UK and US for causing the country's drought.

In this editorial, the regime's mouthpiece wrote:

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that speculation is pointing to the prospect of the weather being doctored to induce drought conditions across Southern Africa in a bid to arm-twist the region to capitulate to the whims of the world’s superpowers.

The rag speculated that With Zimbabwe fast emerging as the possible epicentre of the furtive weather modification programme that is meant to break its agricultural backbone; the world could be entering a new phase of cyber imperialism.

Its evidence for such allegations?

An Internet website.

Not just any Internet website, but one that describes itself as the Internet's most popular destination for news, discussion, and debate on government conspiracies, cover-ups, UFO's, and other alternative topics.
