Winnie Mandela - Iraqi ’human shield’
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela has offered to go to Iraq as a human shield.
Those Bomb Targets in Baghdad can't even send an email right.
Her office said that she would first consult with the women's league of South Africa's ruling African National Congress, which she still heads. Her former husband, Nelson Mandela, is also opposed to the United States-led plans to attack Iraq.
"...and is wishing his murdering ex-wife a good trip"
Last week, South Africa President Thabo Mbeki offered to send weapons experts to help Iraq disarm, following its own experience in the 1990s.
It's not that he can't, Thabo, he just won't.
"Mrs Madikizela-Mandela believes we have the experience in South Africa of having seen our children needlessly killed."
And so having herself needlessly killed is the logical thing to do.
She was one of those needlessly killing them, if I remember correctly. And I do.
"She wants to involve women from across all parties and interested groups, on a mother-to-mother basis," the aide said.
Suspect she'll come across an awful lot of apathy...
Mrs Madikizela-Mandela, 66, remains extremely popular with ordinary South Africans, despite being marginalised from the corridors of power. During the struggle against apartheid, she was known as "Mother of the nation".
She's keen to make an awful lot of orphans.
She was overwhelmingly voted back into the ANC's leadership at last year's congress. She is currently facing fraud and theft charges amounting to $100,000.
But that wouldn't push her towards popularity stunts.
In 1992, she was convicted of kidnapping 14-year-old anti-apartheid activist Stompie Sepei, who was murdered, but her six-year sentence was suspended on appeal.
That's one of the kids I was talking about...
In the 1990s, South Africa dismantled its nuclear, chemical and biological arsenal which had been established during the apartheid regime. UN chief weapons inspector, Hans Blix, praised South Africa's disarmament as a model of co-operation, and has urged Iraq to adopt it.
Hmmm, Blix, what was that about "after" and "regime"?

1992: Convicted of kidnapping
1996: Divorced from Nelson Mandela
2002: Went on trial for fraud
2003: Believed vapourized whilst chained to radiator, Baghdad police HQ.
