White House fury over 'deceitful' editing of Bush speech

The White House has called on NBC News to set the record straight on “deceitful” editing of an interview with President George Bush, in which a correspondent asks whether comments about the president of Iran were directed at Barack Obama.

Bush aides were furious at how the president’s answer was portrayed when Richard Engel questioned him about his condemnation of “the false comfort of appeasement” in an address last week to the Israeli parliament.
