The Genius of Our Beloved Leader; the Latest Idiotic Crap he Spews....


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.

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. [Link]
What he's also saying is that Iraq is doomed, there's no potential leader for a healthy, functional democracy (nor, for that matter, is there a culture for a healthy, functional democracy...). So then why are we there?
