I'd say Mr. Mandella, at 84, is not completely aware of what's going on in the world around him.
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. ***
The idiocy of this statement, combined with the obvious mistakes in both quoted stories, tells me he isn't the man he once was.
