Nelson Mandela Is Still Alive

This reflects quite poorly on our country. President Bush recently stated in a press conference "I heard somebody say, Where's Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas," South Africa is trying to spread the word that Mandela is still living, despite Bush's comment.

He was commenting that Iraq doesn't have any Nelson Mandela figures because anyone who could have filled that role in Iraq was killed. That seemed fairly obvious to me. Perhaps the rest of the world is being a bit dense here.

Yeah, that was what I got from the comment too...

I didn't have the context of the speech, but it's entirely possibly that's what he said.
