President George W. Bush told Palestinian ministers that God had told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq - and create a Palestinian State, a new BBC series reveals.
In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, a major three-part series on BBC TWO (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October), Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.
Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

I don't believe Bush would say this. He's more politically astute than that.

I agree. But the sad thing is people will believe this because they want to believe this, whether they have proof or not.

It is Nabil Shaath, the Palestinian Foreign Minister, who is saying that Bush said this.
I trust Nabil Shaath about as far as I could comfortably spit him.

I believe that the Lord speaks to His children, through His Word and sometimes through the heart. But I don't believe the message related would have come from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

LOL, the BBC also claimed Bush sent Blackhawk helos to kill black people in N.O.!
To: Blogger
Yeah...GW would have to be off his rocker to say something
like this...
The media are such overt liars with held to no decent standards have no accountability for what comes out of their yaps..
I seriously doubt GW would say "And by God I'm gonna do it"
(that generally is a form of taking God's name in vane)
Also GW knows full well that the God of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac would not demand that HE be the one to bring this evil
to Israel...the god of Islam...yeah no problemo...
GW knows exactly the kind of 'peace' the Mohammedens have in mind...proved by their past and present record...when they cry peace.. peace...some innocent is about to die...

George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq
He better be. This was not one of the justifications presented to anubody here in the US that I am aware of.

Whether the Lord spoke to him or not, he wouldn't tell those folks!
And yes, he is astute! Very.
