US threatens world peace, says Mandela (VOMITING TILL YOU DIE ALERT)
BBC News ^ | September 11, 2002 | BBC News

One of the world's most respected statesmen - Maybe at the BBC but not by me, gag cough spew - Ivan - Nelson Mandela, has condemned United States intervention in the Middle East as "a threat to world peace".

In an interview with the US magazine, Newsweek published on Wednesday TODAY of all days?!?! GAG COUGH SPEW! - Ivan, the former South African president repeated his call for President George Bush not to launch attacks on Iraq.

And Mr Mandela, 84, called some of Mr Bush's senior advisors, including Vice President Dick Cheney "dinosaurs".

Unlike the Communists, right Comrade Mandela? - Ivan

He said that the United States' backing for a coup by the Shah of Iran in 1953 had led to that country's Islamic revolution in 1979.

He's just ticked off that the Shah deposed some of his Communist friends - Ivan

On Afghanistan, Mr Mandela said that US support for the mujahideen (including Osama Bin Laden) against the Soviet Union and its refusal to work with the United Nations after the Soviet withdrawal led to the Taleban taking power.

Again upset about his Communist friends being shot at, seeing a pattern here... - Ivan

"If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace," he said.

Unlike the USSR, Comrade Mandela? - Ivan

No evidence

Mr Mandela said that the US was clearly afraid of losing a vote in the United Nations Security Council.

And the UN is stacked with Communists, of course - Ivan

"It is clearly a decision that is motivated by George W Bush's desire to please the arms and oil industries in the United States of America," he said.

Anyone else hearing the strains of "The Internationale" reading this? - Ivan

He said that no evidence had been presented to support the claim that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction, while former UN weapons inspector in Baghdad Scott Ritter has said there is no such evidence.

"But what we know is that Israel has weapons of mass destruction. Nobody mentions that," he said.

Mandela is ticked that Israel was old South Africa's strongest allies - Ivan

The former South African leader made it clear that the only member of the Bush team he respects is Colin Powell.

The most commie of the bunch, of course - Ivan

He called Mr Cheney a "dinosaur" and an "arch-conservative" who does not want Mr Bush "to belong to the modern age."

Ah yes, Communism is so modern and dynamic in comparison, like old Leonid Brezhnev was - Ivan

Mr Mandela recalled that Mr Cheney had been opposed to his release from prison.

Bravo, Mr. Cheney - Ivan

The geese are coming home to roost. If I remember right, we were in the forefront of sanctioning South Africa and forcing them to adopt the black majority rule. South Africa is going to be the next Zimbabwe.

An admitted communist and a former lawyer along with that wife of his, and everyone on the world stage falls for it! We have appeased the Marxists so much that we are reaping the calamity(benefits for the communists) that is only beginning. Mass starvation, coups, leftist lemming group think, moral degenerates, and a loss of will to fix the problem seem to only grow as the months and years go by.

You have to admit those are some smashing pyjamas he's got on...

As much as Mandela would like to colour everything in black vs white, it's really about Red vs Red,White, and Blue.

Nothing changes, and the ones to suffer in this case will be the Africans. Oh well.

Hey Nelson, you bet your butt we're a threat to world peace. Till we are avenged, I don't want anyone sleeping quietly in their beds at night, not Europe, not Asia, not Africa and sure as you-know-what, not anyone in the Middle East.

No justice, no peace. Sound familiar, twitbird?

Thanks for letting me spout, Ivan.

"If you look at those matters, you will come to the conclusion that the attitude of the United States of America is a threat to world peace," he said. "

Well, if Mr Mandela sincerely feels that strongly about it he needs to demand that his "government" refuse to accept any future aid from this threatening nation. Mr Mandela is once again showing his true color, Commie Pink.

" One of the world's most respected statesmen ".... My eye.

tell mr. mandela that I'm opposed to his existence. I don't think his ideas are worth what his dirty socks are.
