The fact that Mandela would say the world gets 64% of its oil from Iraq shows he's either senile, or has no idea what he's talking about. Iraq only has about 5% of the world's oil. Lol.
I don't presume to know the actual numbers. I just wanted to point out that there's a difference between producing, exporting, and having.
Mandela said U.S. President George W. Bush covets the oil in Iraq "because Iraq produces 64 percent of the oil in the world. What Bush wants is to get hold of that oil." In fact Iraq contributes to only 5 percent of world oil exports.
See the difference?
