#1 This however has not curtailed Bob's spending spree on expensive weapons systems.

#2 Not smart - even Kimmy of the Norks makes sure that the guys with the guns get fed.

#3 What a dilemma.

Can't decide if the Sympathy Meter or the Popcorn graphic would go better here. ;-p

Oh be sure they WILL eat.

Remember the old saying "When you beat your swords into plowshares, then you plow for those who don't"

He's destroyed his own farming abilities, the only solution is invasion and theft of crops (Food)

Question is, Is there anyone near enough and prosperous enough that he can invade, or are they either too poor, or too well armed to succede?

I think he's planning the old Chinese ploy of stripping one province to feed another, but I don't think it will work when there's no farming going on to steal crops.

Hell of an incentive to NOT grow crops, they'll just be taken.

Looks like the end for Zim-Bob, look for a name/regime/revolution in a year or two.

#8 Ain't communism grand? Maybe Fidel or Kimmy will offer to feed Bob's hungry troops.

#9 The last six (Or so) hurricanes have gone right over Cuba.

I don't think they have anything to spare.

As for NORK, What's this strange word "Share?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

#10 "However, the military experts describe Zimbabwe's armed forces as professional, disciplined and loyal to President Robert Mugabe. There is no suggestion at this stage of any widespread dissent within the ranks of the army. A Zimbabwean army spokesman has insisted there is enough food for the soldiers, although the government admitted this week that more than two million people in the country needed emergency food aid."
So I say: Hmmm. What is our choice of action? Feed the people with guns? Feed our people? Or feed nobody?
Some people...! Talk about mismanagement!

#11 The best way is to feed nobody, all food will go straight to the govt regardless of where you send it, amd regardless of any promises to "Feed The People"

The needy will still starve, and the Government will survive, exactly the opposite of the desired results.
