President George W. Bush met privately with Focus on the Family Founder and Chairman James Dobson and approximately a dozen Christian right leaders last week to rally support for his policies on Iraq, Iran and the so-called "war on terror."
On his radio show today Dobson told of the Oval Office Meeting in which the President was soliciting support from the fundamentalist.
Dobson went on to enumerate a series of meetings convened by Christian right leaders in Washington to discuss the supposedly existential threat to the United States from a nuclear Iran.
O.K. I was getting pretty nervous enough watching Cheney threatening Iran from the deck of an Aircraft Carrier, off the coast of Iran, with the backdrop of fighter planes. Then I began thinking about the stories of the influence of the religious right at the Air Force Academy in Fort Collins Colorado and wondered if the Air Force personnel watching and listening to Cheney that day were ... how do you say "the Armageddon Types."
Then I read THIS!
Dobson explained further:
“I was invited to go to Washington DC to meet with President Bush in the White House along with 12 or 13 other leaders of the pro-family movement," ... “And the topic of the discussion that day was Iraq, Iran and international terrorism. And we were together for 90 minutes and it was very enlightening and in some ways disturbing too."
Dobson described Bush as “upbeat and determined and convinced,” adding, “I wish the American people could have sat in on that meeting we had.”
I don't know about you but I broke out in a cold sweat thinking ...
HOLY SHIT!
Why is President Bush seeking the support of Religious fanatics in a policy that involves a possible air strike on a sovereign nation.
