Nelson Mandela dead: George W.Bush
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- “I heard somebody say, Where’s Mandela?’ Well, Mandela’s dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.”
Honoured African leader Nerlson Mandela dead? And at the hand of Saddam Hussein? Really?
Yup. And the statement has to be true because it came from the lips of outgoing US President George W. Bush.
And No, it’s not a joke.
Bush, “who has a reputation for verbal faux pas,” made the remark during a press conference in Washington, says Reuters, adding:
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.
Indeed.

Reports of MY Demise were Greatly Exaggerated,
says Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela has been reassuring his supporters that he is not dead. Nelson Mandela, who became South Africa’s first Black President, after apartheid, is certainly still alive.

Poor Bush! His stupidity astounds me even to this day!
He simply cannot understand that if he kept his big mouth shut, he MIGHT gain a little credibility, but right now, most people turn him off because every time he opens his mouth…something stupid comes out of it!
I think if I was as unpopular as him, I would think about what I said before I opened my mouth.
But will he? Probably not…as he seems not to care what anyone thinks about him.

While Bush is an idiot, and he would say that Saddam was controlled by little gray men from outer space if he thought people would believe it; this story sounds like a hoax. I watched the video and it sounded like a splice job. There is really no need to make shit up about Bush, as his idiocy is already obvious for all to see and hear. Posting fake info on Bush only serves to make him look sympathetic, and gives him undeserved credit.

Mandela was a slaughterer, but somehow nobody knows that because he was a Clinton cheerleader.

What is significant is that spliced in or not the media find it entirely likely that Bush would say this.
