White House disputes Pat Robertson claim

EAU CLAIRE, Wisconsin -- A White House spokesman denied Wednesday that President Bush told Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson that he did not expect casualties from the invasion of Iraq. "The president never made such a comment," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said. Senior Bush campaign adviser Karen Hughes, a longtime confidant of the president, said she was "certain" Bush would not have said anything like that to Robertson.
