US soldiers in Iraq asked to pray for Bush


This story is so typical of the Media. It is written to give the impression that:

1) The Government is asking the troops to pray for the Prez.

2) Bush is somehow involved in the process.

You have got to understand, it's very difficult for some one with a media trained British accent NOT to sound condescending to American ears... it's just the accent that does it. When I got back here in the UK, after being in the USA for some time, I used to think (sometimes still do) the same things.

LOL, PB, I think it was more than the accent that did it...like the storyline that Bush is busy staging the wars of Gog and Magog to bring on the Apocalypse, that may have done the trick.
