Chavez: take Bush to madhouse

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.
