Bush tortures pronounciation again May 25, 2004 - 1:06PM Two rehearsals for his prime-time speech today were not enough to keep US President George W Bush from mangling the name of the Abu Ghraib prison that brought shame to the US mission in Iraq. During the half-hour televised address, Bush mispronounced Abu Ghraib each of the three times he mentioned it while announcing US plans to tear down the infamous jail and replace it with a new facility. The prison, the scene of torture under Saddam Hussein and the setting for the Iraqi prison abuse scandal under the US military, has a name that English speakers usually pronounce as "abu-grabe". But the Republican president, long known for verbal and grammatical lapses, stumbled on the first try, calling it "abugah-rayp". The second version came out "abu-garon", the third attempt sounded like "abu-garah". White House aides, who described the speech as an important address on the future of Iraq, said Bush practised twice today before boarding his helicopter for his trip to the speaking venue at the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. smh.com.au

Patricia, If you want to remain free, you'll need to curtail your extremely left-leaning politcal views. Contrary to what you've been taught, the U.S. is not always wrong. Many Americans manage to always criticize their country rather than support it during difficult times. Does any liberal ever try to be objective in a presidential election year? If John Kerry manages to win this election, you can expect the geopolitical landscape to deteriorate rather than improve.
