Mandela still alive after embarrassing Bush remark

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -

Nelson Mandela is still very much alive despite an embarrassing gaffe
by U.S. President George W. Bush, who alluded to the former South
African leader's death in an attempt to explain sectarian violence in
Iraq.

"It's out there. All we can do is reassure people, especially South
Africans, that President Mandela is alive," Achmat Dangor, chief
executive officer of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, said as Bush's
comments received worldwide coverage.

In a speech defending his administration's Iraq policy, Bush said
former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's brutality had made it
impossible for a unifying leader to emerge and stop the sectarian
violence that has engulfed the Middle Eastern nation.

"I heard somebody say, Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because
Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas," Bush, who has a reputation
for verbal faux pas, said in a press conference in Washington on
Thursday.

Jailed for 27 years for fighting white minority rule, Mandela became
South Africa's first black president in 1994.

He won a Nobel Peace Prize for preaching racial harmony and guiding
the nation peacefully into the post-apartheid era.

References to his death -- Mandela is now 89 and increasingly frail --
are seen as insensitive in South Africa.

Mandela should be dead. He was a terrorist thug who murdered people.

Again, the liberal media takes the quote out of context.

Someone had said Iraq needs a Nelong Mandela type figure to lead the
country. Bush is saying, there is no such figure because that would-be
person has been killed. He wasn't talking about the real Mandela.

As usual, Rueters goes with the false misleading story because it is
anti-Bush.

If Bush could speak English in an intelligible way there wouldn't be a
problem.

His statement makes no sense.

"I heard somebody say, Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because
Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas,"

A person with a decent copmmand of the English language would have said
something like

"I heard somebody say, Where's the Mandelas in Iraq?' Well, the Mandelas
are dead because
Saddam Hussein killed them all"

Obviously he didn't have his usual 3X5 cards to prop him up that day.

The founding fathers of the US were considered terrorists by a
criminal crown. No doubt our "new" founding fathers are currently
being labeled as terrorists by the criminal regime in Washington.


Stay tuned......

Someone asked "where are the (Nelson) Mandelas (in Iraq)?"

Bush's answer was "Well, (the Nelson) Mandelas (in Iraq) (are) dead because Saddam Hussein
killed all the Mandelas (in Iraq)"


Perfectly understandable to anyone with more than a sixth grade education.

Mandela still alive after embarrassing Reuters report of Bush remark
