It is very difficult to believe that Bush is anything but what he publicly affirms, a born again Christian. But, then, I have a problem with, and had at the time, his unstoppable march to war, and especially the many and changing reasons given for the necessity of this "war". In almost every other war, the US fought in defense or after it had been attacked. I was particularly dismayed at his assertion of an imminent threat to the United States.
I could go on in this vein for quite a while, but to tie it into the topic of Christianity, prophecy etc., and in response to your own questions of deception, I offer that perhaps he is being used, unwittingly, and is simply enforcing some greater will. The alternative is unimaginable.
The pieces may soon fall in place. We are in the right area, and the biblical passages of wars and rumors of wars, of pestilence and false prophets certainly seem to fit into our time. And Israel and Jerusalem are at the center.
Maybe a financial collapse will bring about the final alignment.
