WACO, Texas (AP) - President Bush opened several new scathing lines of attack against Democrat John Kerry, charges that twisted his rival's words on Iraq and made Kerry seem supportive of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein.

It was not unlike the spin that Kerry and his forces sometimes place on Bush's words.

Campaigning by bus through hotly contested Wisconsin on Friday, Bush sought to counter recently sharpened criticism by Kerry about his Iraq policies:

-He stated flatly that Kerry had said earlier in the week ``he would prefer the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein to the situation in Iraq today.'' The line drew gasps of surprise from Bush's audience in a Racine, Wis., park. ``I just strongly disagree,'' the president said.
But Kerry never said that. In a speech at New York University on Monday, he called Saddam ``a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell.'' He added, ``The satisfaction we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure.''
