Chavez: take Bush to madhouse

Press TV News - Oct 26, 2007

Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez has condemned US president's war rhetoric on Iran, saying he belongs in a psychiatric hospital.

"The US President (George W. Bush) made an atomic bomb threat," Chevez said on Thursday, referring to Bush's war rhetoric against Iran.

"In other words, he's threatening a third world war but now with atomic weapons. It's like he should be taken to the psychiatric hospital. I think he's on the edge of the psychiatric hospital," he added.

Last week Bush claimed Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons, adding this may lead to World War III. His remarks drew fierce domestic and international criticism.

Tehran insists that its nuclear program is solely aimed at peaceful purposes. The UN nuclear watchdog has also declared that there is no evidence to prove Iran is developing nuclear weaponry.
