TPLF junta officials in Ethiopia are fuming over the decision by the U.S. Government to send Ambassador Susan Rice, instead of the vice president or the secretary of state, or another more high-profile official, to the late dictator Meles Zenawi’s funeral according to Ethiopian Review Intelligence Unit sources.
Apparently, the idiots believe their own propaganda that Meles is the greatest leader Africa has ever had. The U.S. is indirectly telling them, no he was a disposable tin-pot dictator.
The U.S. seems to have more respect for the late Ghanaian president Atta Mills who died in July. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton represented the U.S. Government at his funeral.

It is not surprising that they are giving him a cold shoulder. After all, he was like a house nigg– doing their bidding for a price well rendered at $2,000 US. per head/per month. However, given that fact that once cannot deny the fact that he was a street smart quick on his feet kind of a guy, he was not their man, who deliver what they wanted, which was the introduction of Democracy, rather than what the PM termed Socialism Democracy, which is basically a centralized command economic system of the communist era
The way I see US policy toward the TPLF infested regime is this way. The war on terrorism with Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist group Al Shabab that is breathing on everyone’s shoulder in the Horn of Africa has put the Good Ole USA between a rock and a hard place. But they know what we all know. They had seen or at least had heard about that day when about 200 peaceful demonstrators gunned down in a broad day light in 2005. They were witnesses when Obo Eskinder was forcefully snatched away from his family and thrown in jail for more than 15 years just because he wrote about the possibilities he imagined. I am sure Secretary Clinton has heard about that. Both Secretary Clinton and Our President Obama, both as parents, have a feeling about that angelic son of Obo Eskinder. I am sure they hear the cry of that toddler asking for his father. That kid does not give a hoot why and how but he wants his dad back and he wants him back now. I have that kid in my thoughts all along and on that fateful day next November 6, 2012, the kid and I are going to have a long spiritual conversation. I hope and pray that his father will be freed before then and the US has the influence and opportunity now to help that happen. If not, I am going to contact that little boy in spirit that day and I will go straight to the voting booth after that. That is my plan. What is yours, folks?
