Bush speaks of 'Soviet dinar'
From correspondents in Hudson, Wisconsin
August 19, 2004
US President George W, Bush spoke today of "the Soviet dinar," ? appearing to mix up the Russian rouble and the Iraqi dinar.
Recalling a White House meeting earlier this year with an Iraqi man who had his arms cut off by the Saddam Hussein regime, Mr Bush 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," Mr Bush said.
"And because the Soviet dinar had devalued, Saddam Hussein plucked this guy out of society to punish him, and six other small merchants, for the devaluation of their currency. He just summarily said, 'you're it, come here' ? and cut his hand off."
