US Doesn't Recognize Zimbabwe Election, Bush Says

"We do not recognize the outcome of the election because we think it's flawed," [Bush] told a White House news conference.

"We are dealing with our friends to figure out how to deal with this flawed election," he added.

Secretary of State Colin Powell said earlier on Wednesday the election result did not reflect the will of the people. "As a result, Mr. Mugabe may claim victory, but not democratic legitimacy," Powell said in a statement.

Oh, the irony... Thanks, James!
