I read in several places that George Herbert Bush repeatedly mispronounced Saddam's name because the way he said it was an insult. I've forgotten what it meant in Arabic (the mispronounced name) but it was quite deliberate.

GHWB did that on purpose. Very deliberately.

It was an insult the way Papa Bush said it. I think it means "pig" or something equally offensive.

Deliberate mispronounciation, he'd been told that that way really pissed off Saddam.

I heard recently that GHWB called him "SAD-dam" as an insult.
