SAN FRANCISCO, April 16 (Reuters) - The invasion and occupation of Iraq has created widespread animosity against the United States among ordinary citizens across the Middle East, Jordan's King Abdullah said on Friday.

"They turn on the TV and they see an Israeli tank in a tank battle with ordinary Palestinians. The program changes and they see an American tank facing Iraqis," he said in a speech to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.

"This has created for the first time that I have felt in the Middle East ... some sort of animosity that I never felt or heard about toward the United States."

The king, a U.S. ally in the region, was speaking at the start of an American visit that will include talks with U.S. President George W. Bush in Washington next week.

Bush's cowardly genefluction to the obese war criminal called Sharon could not have been more effectively scripted by Osama bin Laden.

America deserves the hatred.
