The Bible quotes apparently aimed to support Bush at a time when soldiers' deaths in Iraq were on the rise, according to the June issue of GQ magazine. But they offended at least one Muslim analyst at the Pentagon and worried other employees that the passages were inappropriate....

....The Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, on Monday said U.S. soldiers "are not Christian crusaders, and they ought not be depicted as such."

I guess they don’t pay any attention to the briefings that Obama gets with the Quotes from Jeramiah Wright Sermons on them...

No, No, No, Not God Bless America....

Wouldn't some of those be quotes from the Torah?

I'm sure there are plenty of appropriate quotes that could be lifted from the Koran.

Yo, Barry,

What about the separation of Mosque and State?

I suspect Patton asking for clear weather from the Chaplain offended these people too.

MSNBC spent all day yesterday screaming about this. They hardly had time to trash Rumsfeld, call for Bush/Cheney trials or find a way to keep Miss California in the news.

The report I heard on FOX said these reports never made it to Bush and weren’t designed for him. He was always briefed separately and alone.

When I heard there had been biblical quotes on the covers of the Pentagon briefings, I though it a little odd, but was okay with it. It's also okay with me that there are no religious quotes on the covers of these briefings.

I do think the "reverend" Barry Lynn is an idiot, and that Obama is anything but a Christian. But the quotes on the Pentagon briefings are beside the point.
