Bush speaks of 'Soviet dinar' in speech about Iraq

Thu Aug 19, 9:17 AM ET Add U.S. National -



HUDSON, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) spoke of "the Soviet dinar," even though dinars are the Iraqi currency.


Recalling a White House meeting last spring with an Iraqi man who had both of his arms amputated by the regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), the president said the man, who worked as a jeweller, was accused of illegal currency trading.


"And he had sold dinars on a particular day to buy another currency, euros or dollars, so he could buy gold to manufacture his product," Bush said.

1. Puh-THETIC

Is somebody pulling a joke on us? This can't *really* be our president, can it? Is Aston Kutcher trying to punk us? The ignorance of that man knows no bounds.

2. He uses this as an example of Sadaam's brutality YET

this amputation bullshit is standard practice administered for THEFT by strict Islamic justice systems, such as that found in Saudi Arabia. Friday's, outside the great mosque in Riyadh, the amputations, beheadings etc. were public spectacle, every week. I know, I lived there.

Illegal currency trading could be construed as theft, couldn't it? Regardless, this type of justice is in keeping with the rest of the Middle East, especially Bandar Bush's home country of Saudi Arabia.

3. Sure, but who is ever going to see that he said it?

In Corporate TV Pravda?

The Bushevik Party-Loyal Sub-Media?

That's pretty funny, like seeing the Jewish side in Nazi Media.

And just as likely.
