It is written to give the impression that: Is there something that they are not telling us? i.e. a tradition or something used by the troops??

They may be the ones facing danger on the battlefield, but US soldiers in Iraq are being asked to pray for President George W Bush. Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called "A Christian's Duty," a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush. "I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces. The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian who likes to invoke his God in speeches. Sunday's is "Pray that the President and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding". Monday's reads "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics". Holy, I mean, Wholey Crap! DOesn't this disturb you? What are we getting, our own Taliban? I mean, it's nice if someone wants to pray to, I mean for, the President, but keep it to yourself. I can imagine the Fund Raising Letter Carl Rove has written to drop right after Victory. Bet it is positioned with heavy religious overtones. Once that list starts sending in the money.....
