In an apparent slip of the tongue, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has accused Barack Obama, the Illinois senator and Democratic hopeful, of calling on terrorists to unite in Iraq.

While criticising Mr Obama and other Democratic presidential candidates on foreign policy, Mr Romney said:

“Actually, just look at what Osam – Barack Obama – said just yesterday. Barack Obama, calling on radicals, jihadists of all the different types, to come together in Iraq. ‘That is the battlefield. That’s the central place,’ he says. ‘Come join us under one banner’.”

Mr Romney was apparently referring to a tape released on Monday, in which a speaker believed to be Osama bin Laden calls on insurgent groups in Iraq to unite.

Upon hearing this, President Bush immediately had Senator Obama’s Congressional office bombed by a flight of B-2’s, and has threatened to nuke the Senator’s hometown of Chicago.
