Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
And speaking of God, or that is to say, God speaking to us, apparently President Bush confessed to Nabil Shaath, the Foreign Minister of our friend Abbas over in Gaza, that God speaks to him:
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.'"So let's see. Here we have the Palestinian Prime Minister and his foreign minister, leaders of rectitude to a man, recounting this conversation to a representative of the BBC, widely praised for its fair and balanced coverage of the Bush Administration.Abu Mazen was at the same meeting and recounts how President Bush told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state."
Naturally the Palestinian Ministers would be the first people, outside of his private circle, to whom Bush would feel comfortable confessing this.
Yes, fools! Proof at last. The Iraq war was a Christian jihad, spearheaded by God's latest false prophet. No wonder, it's turned into such a quagmire. But at least it's not yet like Vietnam.
An interesting point, to my mind, is the difference in language between Nabil Shaath's comments and Abu Mazen's. Abu Mazen's comments are to my mind completely unobjectionable. Since Bush is a religious man, his moral obligations would obviously be formed out of his religious core.
Seems to me, from this summary, that Shaath's comments are a reference to the same conversation that Abu Mazen mentions but translated through some unique and highly excitable filter of his own. Arabic poetic license, as it were. Not for naught the floweriness.
Still, if the two men were in the room simultaneously during this BBC interview, it is telling Abu Mazen did not correct the record.

The White House has actually bothered to deny the charge that God told him to war on the Afghans and Saddam, which means that some reporter was stuck on stupid enough to ask about it in the White House... [Read More]

This is a demonstration of the gullibility of the BBC, Haaretz, and Drudge.

I always suspected that Bush was really King David.

This is an old story that the Beeb is recycling. Try Googling "God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them." What I find interesting is the changing story from 2003, when Ha'aretz originally reported it. Back then there was no mention of a Palestinian state, just solving the problem in the Middle East. Funny how those two Palestinian ministers suddenly recollected God telling President Bush to help them establish a Palestinian State.

Haaretz is truly an execrable newspaper. There are nobody worse then Akiva Eldar, Gideon Levy and Amira Hass.
