JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) — Former South African President Nelson Mandela, the famous African statesman, slammed President Bush and his stance on Iraq, saying that “if there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America.”

Speaking at the International Women’s Forum, Mandela said “one power with a president who has no foresight, who cannot think properly is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust.”
