Bush i en kommentar om Saddam Hussein

This is not a partisan issue, folks. This is an issue that is important for America. This is an American issue, a uniquely American issue. And it's -- as I reminded the members, that -- I say uniquely American issue because I truly believe that now that the war has changed, now that we're a battlefield, this man poses a much graver threat than anybody could have possibly imagined. Other countries, of course, bear the same risk. But there's no doubt his hatred is mainly directed at us. There's no doubt he can't stand us. After all, this is a guy that tried to kill my dad at one time.

Jag minns att Mattias Gardell, när han talade vid Umeå Universitet för några år sedan, citerade det där uttalandet på ett kariktyrastiskt sätt.

Förutom orden om sin far använder Bush emotionellt laddade ord som "hatred". Inte konstigt att folk använt detta citat emot honom.
