Well Now This Explains Everything
There are many people who look around and realize that they, their neighbors and the rest of this country (except the very wealthy) are noticeably much worse off then 5 or 10 years ago. Unemployment, poverty, and every other economic factor is looking more dim, and we're another unwinnable war in Asia, for which the reasons continue to change, while we're rapidly approaching 2,000 dead for reasons we can't explain.
Who then can you turn your anger, your outrage, your bitterness toward?
God.
The BBC is reporting (and other news outlets have picked up on it) that our President, according to Palestinian official named Nabil Shaath, told him and others that God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. Here is what Shaath and others present said the words were from Bush:
Well now we know what he means by “mandate.”
The war in Iraq at the very least has turned out to be a huge mistake, one that has cost not just lives and hundreds of billions of dollars, but perhaps any shred of Republican integrity that was left after being sopped up like gravy into dinner rolls baked by lies Tom Delay, Karl Rove, and Dick Cheney.
Of course, you might think only a God that hates America could tell Bush to do such horrible things to hurt our soldiers and our country, and needs to slap a yellow “support our troops” magnet on the back of his Holy Hummer.
Not so fast. There is also the theory that Bush wasn’t actually speaking to a being referred to as God, but rather a guy by the name of Claude, a simple resident of Heaven who was from Las Cruses, NM, who was a bit of war hawk in life, and the whole Iraq war was just a mix-up.
After all, the late Pope John Paul II and Bush seem to have very conflicting message from above on Iraq, when you read what the Pope had to say: "A war (with Iraq) would be a defeat for humanity and would be neither morally nor legally justified... It is an unjust war.”
Shaath has gone on to say that the story itself was blown out of proportion because he didn’t think Bush actually had conversations with God – and that he may have used the word figuratively.
I’m sorry. Could someone please tell me 1).how one could be misinterpreted by stringing together several sentences referencing God and homework assignments He has given and 2).how using God either literally or figuratively as inspiration to start any war in any country is any different from Muslim or Christian terrorists who are motivated by God to kill innocent people as well?
Either way, here are your choices.
Bush literally spoke to God and is therefore an undiagnosed schizophrenic
Bush was figuratively referring to God as inspiring and evoking images in his own mind to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now look up the definition of theocracy, and tell me why you can’t understand people being concerned about this.

"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."
