Nelson Mandela tees off on Bush and Blair

"Why does the United States behave so arrogantly?" Mr Mandela asked.

"Their friend Israel has got weapons of mass destruction but because it's their ally they won't ask the United Nations to get rid of them.

"They just want the oil," Mr Mandela went on. "We must expose this as much as possible."

He also called Tony Blair, "US Prime Minister." I like to call him lapdog, but US PM does the trick.

Calling a spade a spade? Mr Mandela added that both Mr Bush and Tony Blair were undermining the United Nations. "Is this because the secretary general of the United Nations [Ghanaian Kofi Annan] is now a black man? They never did that when secretary generals were white," he said.

OUCH?

Funny, you think that hurts Bush? Nope. He thinks he's so right that there's nothing anyone can do. He really thinks he's right here. It's like that awful father who won't listen to his kids but knows what's best for them. The saddest thing about all of this is that the majority of Americans, who are starting to see that he's going to take all their money away from them do not care. I firmly believe that they have complete faith in Bush to protect them, to keep them safe. Most Americans really think that the team of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz, Negroponte et al will keep them out of harm's way. Yeah, and I got some property in southern Manhattan to sell you.
