Rumsfeld Put Bible Passages on Cover Pages of Intel Documents for Bush (Lefty Head Explosion Alert)
Weasel Zippers (Via AFP) ^

Former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld routinely used militaristic passages from the Bible on the cover pages of White House intelligence documents, according to new revelations by GQ magazine.

It said Rumsfeld displayed the passages over photographs of US forces in Iraq to curry favor with then president George W. Bush, despite concerns about the incendiary impact on the Islamic world if they were ever made public.

One republished on the GQ website came from March 31, 2003, showing a US tank roaring through the desert about 10 days after the United States invaded Iraq to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Indeed, the Word of God does indeed enrage Satan and his minions (liberals).

Osama bin Laden would NEVER put quotes from the Quran on his jihad planning-documents.

That would be so insensitive to Dhimmis.

I am sure the Messiah will release them to show the world how mean the Bush administration was and he will bow to them again asking for forgiveness and the birds will sing and all will be just wonderful.

Good for Rumsfeld. He knew Bush would appreciate the verses, and that this was not being forced on anyone, including the President.

What a bunch of pansies, we have in the media these days.

If I didn’t believe in vampires before, I sure do now. Crosses cause them to withdraw with shrieks of pain.

We were blessed to have Rummy and Bush, men born for such a time to handle 9/11. They knew where their victory came from.

The enemies of the Bible would think David was a mad man to listen to the council of God in waiting for the rustling in the trees to advance on the enemy. God’s thoughts are foolishness to men.

The Islamists could care less what we think of them. Why should we care one nit what they think of us? Lefties can think of more idiodic things to wring their hands about, except the real stuff that matters, of course.

Unfortunately, that is the reality of the situation since around the 8th Century.

Let me get this straight - muslims routinely use incendiary passages out of the koran to motivate their followers, but Christians aren’t allowed to do the same, not even on non-published, private matters?

A little late for that, don't you think? The muzzies have been on a holy war kick for many years now. It doesn't become a holy war when the U.S. uses Bible passages when the enemy has been using Koran passages from the beginning.
