"Bush Twists Kerry's Words on Iraq," by Jennifer Loven, AP. Here's the so called story:

Bush claimed in a speech yesterday that: "[Kerry] would prefer the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein to the situation in Iraq today."

What Kerry really said in a speech at NYU was: "[Saddam is] a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell. 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."

What the "story" purports to portray is that Bush has somehow misrepresented Kerry's statement. But what else is Kerry's statement supposed to mean? Kerry came out clearly anti-war in this speech. That means that if given the choice, Kerry would have let Saddam remain in power.
