"I certainly do not. If you are going to quote something, quote it accurately and put that quote in the context it was set. You should not under any circumstances do as you have done cherry-pick a quote and then invent the context it was supposedly given in."

Actually I cut and pasted the quote from another site, none of the input was mine. Bang to rights on that one!

"Which sort of begs the question why you would deliberately go out of your way to misinform people on this forum? Are you normally in the habit of telling lies? Is this the sort of behaviour that you deem acceptable?"

Careful son - you know full well that's not my style and I resent the accusation.

"President Bush's response, "Well, Mandela's dead because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas.", was perfectly correct in relation to any potential Iraqi 'Nelson Mandela' figure."

Even with your explanation it's still a ridiculous quote and all you've done is highlight Bush's own inability to articulate himself effectively.
