LONDON (AFP) - US
President George W. Bush allegedly said God told him to invade
Iraq and
Afghanistan, a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details.


Read through it, it's funny and scary at the same time :nervous:...not only that, but since when was the Christian God so ineloquent? The way Bush describes him, it sounds like he was talking like an uneducated Texan...hmm...

That's not news. A lot of people have figured that for a long time...

Does this bother anyone else?

Not that I have anything against Christians being in gov't positions, but when someone starts saying they're on a mission from God, and he's actually spoken to them...that bothers me.

I think he was speaking figuratively, he meant that it was his faith or something guiding him, a gut feeling, I hear christians use that phrase all the time. not that invadeing a country on a gut feeling is a lot better.

As much as i don't give a ****, i'd like to examine a few sentences:

Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003,


followed by:

The US leader also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said.

I like how God can be used for both the popular moves and the unpopular moves.

Something about "too many saviours on my cross" perhaps?

Of course, this is all ridiculous.  God didn't tell Bush to invade Iraq.









His dad did.

he actaully directly made a statement to this effect that is on record and attributed to him - in a speech to amish during the last campaign. (a statement to the effect that god talks to him)

I have no problem with people of any religion holding office so long as they don't start using their religion to legislate and start saying "$DEITY told me to do it!"

Of course the very fact that he was campaigning to the Amish, who specifically state that they don't vote or interfere in 'worldly affairs' says something... :p
