Bush claims divine directive
So now we know that our leadership is going in the right direction. Of course we do. Bush, himself got his direction directly from God.
""Here are Bush's exact words, quoted by Haaretz: 'God told me to strike at al-Qaida and I struck them, and then He instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me, I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.'
You can't put it plainer than that. The whole chaotic rigmarole of Security Council votes and UN inspections and congressional approval and Colin Powell's whizbang Powerpoint displays of 'proof" and Bush's own tearful prayers for "peace' -- it was all a sham, a meaningless exercise.
No votes, no inspections, no proof or lack of proof -- in fact, no earthly reason whatsoever -- could have stopped Bush's aggressive war on Iraq. It was God's unalterable will: the Lord of Hosts gave a direct order for George W. Bush to 'strike at Saddam'."
And this man is our leader, almost elected by popular vote. Be afraid, be very afraid. |
