Following some entries on dailykos to Stars and Stripes, I was happy to see some rational voices expressed in the letters to the editors
here and
there.
I continued to read Stars & Stripes, and to follow some links, I came across this fascinating tidbit of information that I had not seen or heard before. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, George W. proclaimed that it was God Almighty himself that told him to go to war with Iraq:
According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
Now I've prayed about this war, and about all the death and destruction, and I have to admit, God has never shared with me that this mess was all his idea.
Have any of you heard from about this?
