   Thabo Mbeki tried in vain to convince both Blair and President George W Bush that toppling Saddam Hussein in 2003 would be a terrible mistake.

Mbeki�s predecessor, Nelson Mandela, also tried to convince the American leader, but was left fuming that �President Bush doesn�t know how to think�.

The claim was this week supported by Mbeki�s office, which confirmed that he pleaded with both leaders to heed the WMD experts and even offered to become their intermediary with Saddam in a bid to maintain peace.
