So the answer to "WWJD?" is "Invade Iraq."

We just touched on Iraq being a religious war on another thread. They said I was full of bull when I said this. Hmmph.

Do you trust Abbas and the Palestinian information minister to tell the truth about this? I mean, 2+ years later and we hear it from them first?

When a majority of Americans these days doubt the Grand Canyon was created by a process other than God's hand, it's no surprise.

I had to laugh my ass off this morning when Bush was going on about how Osama tells suicide bombers that it's the path to heaven but he doesn't go along for the ride. You know, this coming from a guy who dodged service in 'nam and his VP had "other priorities" during 'nam. A guy who sends young Americans to their deaths when, you known, them Bush twins are quite capable of learning to drive a truck for the military in Iraq...

Yes, that's one consideration. Another consideration is that he might actually have said this, but that it was tuned towards eliciting a favorable response from a particular audience.

The only thing wrong with this is that Bush seems to claim that God is talking to him. However, if he were to say, 'My faith in God compels me to do X, Y, and Z,' then it wouldn't be so newsworthy.

Personally, I sort of doubt Bush's commitment to God.

When people start hearing voices in their heads it's time for the looney bin.

As I understand it, the particular brand of W's Christianity plays down the Bible. Rather, it encourages one to have one's own personal dialogue with God through prayer.

Haven't read the relevant news threads on this yet, but I believe that's how it works.

Durn. I wanted to start this thread. My title was going to be:

What do you call a man who hears the voice of god telling him to kill people?

President Bush!

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Bush's description of Al Qaida and the war on terror yesterday was accurate.

Actually this was discussed 2 years ago.

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 strik
