George Bush: ‘God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq’
George Bush has claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a senior Palestinian politician in an interview to be broadcast by the BBC later this month. One of the delegates, Nabil Shaath, who was Palestinian foreign minister at the time, said: “President Bush said to all of us: ‘I am driven with a mission from God’. God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did.” Mr Bush went on: “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 mean, how could you not be embarrassed at something like this? “Yeah, here in America, we elect born-again religious psychos to bomb countries on a global crusade. You got a problem with that?”

Whenever I hear people claim that God told them to do something, I always
think of a comment by Sam Harris:
“If I believe that Christ was born of a virgin, resurrected bodily
after death, and is now literally transformed into a wafer at the Mass, I can still function as a
respected member of society. I can believe these propositions because millions of others believe
them, and we have all been taught to overlook how irrational this picture of reality is. If, on the
other hand, I wake up tomorrow morning believing that God is communicating with me through
my hairdryer, I’ll be considered a nut, even in church.”
Bush’s sanity hangs by the cord of a hair dryer.

No prob, Bob. (Couldn’t resist)
Christian Theist-
You mean in the same way that xians place utter trust in a literary epic based on oral mythology that is 2,000 years old, claims that pork is not fit to eat, and that rabbits chew cud?
I.E. “This is the truth! I know because my brother knows this guy who had an uncle that worked with this dude that used to hang out with this chick that had a cousin who had this best friend that had this grandpa who had these drinking buddies that hung out in this one dude’s bar where they met this cat they knew from way back and he told them this story that the one dude told his grandson who who told his best friend who told his cousin and then she told this dude she used to bang who worked with this guy who told his nephew who just happens to be my brother’s best bud and my bro told me, and you can totally take that to the bank ’cause my bro don’t lie!”

If my (unconstitutionally elected) president were just religious, I would wish otherwise but not despair. However, the fact that he is also an idiot compounds the problem immeasurably and crushes my spirit. The most powerful nation in the world should not be led by a dumbass fundy.

There must be a god. You don’t think that idiot Bush comes up with coherent ideas on his own, do you?
