If your inference about Bush is correct, that would apply to Kerry as well. Kerry has been touting the churches he's gone to in the last few weeks ....but has he been to the Catholic church he belongs to???? And re the links from Mary and then yours: Here's the original article that Mary referred to... haaretzdaily.com From your link on snopes....I like Kathy's comment...Also, note on the original link above, that not all the info ascribed to Bush is in direct quotes.... and add that info to translation back and forth... Friday, June 27, 2003; Imagine our surprise Wednesday to read in the Israeli paper Haaretz (online), that Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Abu Mazen, meeting recently with militants to enlist their support for a truce with Israel, said that, when they met in Aqaba, President Bush had told him this: " God told me to strike at al Qaeda [and so on]... Two calls to the White House for clarification went unreturned, but colleague Glenn Kessler did some digging. The Haaretz reporter, Arnon Regular, read what the paper said were minutes of the Palestinians' meeting to Kessler and another colleague, who is an Arabic speaker. The Arabic-speaking colleague's translation, was this: "God inspired me to hit al Qaeda, and so I hit it. And I had the inspiration to hit Saddam, and so I hit him. Now I am determined to solve the Middle East problem if you help. Otherwise the elections will come and I will be wrapped up with them." Even then, there's uncertainty. After all, this is Abu Mazen's account in Arabic of what Bush said in English, written down by a note-taker in Arabic, then back into English.
