President Bush Scares Me
Thursday, October 6th, 2005The BBC reports today that George W. Bush allegedly claimed to have received orders from God to invade Afganistan and Iraq.
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 %u2026″ 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.’”
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.”
And here I thought we went to Iraq to clean up some WMD’s.
If what Nabil Shaath says is true, if P. Bush said that, then we’ve got a lunatic in the White House. I wonder which country the voices in his head will tell him to invade next?
UPDATE: The BBC has backed off of the story, and the White House denies the allegations. Thank’s to commenter Jay C for the link.
