There's always Bush's "God talk":

"The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them."

"Americans are a free people, who know that freedom is the right of every person and the future of every nation. The liberty we prize is not America's gift to the world, it is God's gift to humanity."

"I believe, firmly believe -- and you've heard me say this a lot, and I say it a lot because I truly believe it -- that freedom is the Almighty God's gift to every person, every man and woman who lives in this world. That's what I believe. And the arrest of Saddam Hussein changed the equation in Iraq. Justice was being delivered to a man who defied that gift from the Almighty to the people of Iraq."

Bush is not only turning the juggernaut of the US military on a dime because of what he sees as God ordained policies, he sees the whole international conflict playing out that way. I can't figure out how he squares the hubris of guessing the mind of God, with his religion- which clearly tells us humans cannot know the will of God. Saddam could very easily have been an instrument of God- there's really no way for a human (according to the Christian Bible) to know he was not.
