God speaks to George Bush?

Does God really speak to, or through, George Bush???

'God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan'.'

"And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq...' And I did.

"'And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God I'm gonna do it',"

The same comments can be found here, along with the heretofore unrevealed dozen or so averted terrorist attacks......

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1586978,00.html

....interesting how we never heard of these averted attacks before.

I would think that Bush would want to publicize them to help maintain support for his war.

GW has also said.....

"God speaks through me," he said. (We're not making this up. This story was first reported in the local papers, including the Intelligencer Journal and the Lancaster New Era, on July 16, 2004.)

.....while addressing a small crowd of Amish people in July.

With all the wars started over religion, this is starting to worry me.

After all, didn't God also speak to Mohammed???

And look what came of that!!!

A friend of mine attended a dinner in Washington DC several years ago where Condoleeza Rice and George W Bush were the guest speakers.

The next time we spoke he said, "no doubt about it...they believe God speaks to them."

So to answer your question: yes it appears that God speaks to George W. Bush and Ms. Rice and it also appears that Bush is on a mandate from God.

Hearing voices can be a symptom of conditions such as schizophrenic disorders, manic depression and psychosis. It could also be that Bush sometimes forgets about his earpiece, and that "God" is really Karl Rove.

Well, he definitely had the earpiece out during the conversation in my signature.

True enough. His supporters seem to get off on the idea that he is beyond accountability. Its like they think that is a good thing.

This is true. I don't like the man and I never have. He is a ruthless man who, through Rove, will crush his opponents and twist the facts to ensure people will support him.

He says he is a common guy for the common people, but he has always had carte blanche and never has had to worry about finding or keeping a job or making ends meet...

It is simply a bad situation down there...

Good sources you have for those supposed quotes from Bush... ...professional Palestinian liar Nabil Shaath and Holocaust-denying Palestinian “president” Abu Mazen.

Breitbart.com from AFP: White House denies Bush claimed divine inspiration

The White House has denied that US President George W. Bush said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, as a new BBC documentary is expected to reveal.

“That’s absurd. He’s never made such comments,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Thursday.  The documentary series set to be broadcast later this month in Britain claims Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then-foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003.  He also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said.

Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said: “President Bush said to all of us: ‘I’m driven with a mission from God’”.

“‘God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan’.

“‘And I did. And then God would tell me, ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... ‘ And I did.

“‘And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East’. And by God I’m gonna do it’,” said Shaath.  Abbas, who was also at the meeting in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheikh, recalled how the president told him: “’I have a moral and religious obligation’”.

“’So I will get you a Palestinian state.’”

This "Bush said God told him to do it" story is as phony as John Kerry.

He likely "talks" to God--he's a born-again Christian, but he is definitely not on a "mission from God".

It's just nonsense.

Yep, he's a regular "love your enemies" kind of guy.

I guess he feels there aren't enough people to love, 'cause he sure seems bent on making as many enemies as possible.

As usual, the White House denies something, and some people swallow it hook, line and sinker.

But I notice you failed to address the other incident I cited, so I'll give it to you again.......

"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job."

-- President Bush, quoted in the Lancaster New Era, during a private meeting with an Amish group.

Although I suppose those lying Amish people, tools of the Devil that they are, are spinning more falsehoods to bring down the White House Prophet, er sorry, The President.

After all, Amish are known to be dishonest, aren't they??? Hmm???

[PocketRocket]

Hey, BURNS, here's another one, although I'm sure you'll find fault with the source, or something.....

http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0901-03.htm

President Bush told Texas evangelist James Robinson that "I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen . . . I know it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."

Same page also includes this quote.....

After the Iraqi invasion, Bush announced, "God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did . . . ."

He likely "talks" to God--he's a born-again Christian, but he is definitely not on a "mission from God".

OK then. Bush is not "on a mission from God."

But, using logic, if we agree that:

a) Bush speaks to God AND

That Bush believes he is on a mission (or, as he has put it, crusade), THEREFORE

c) Bush speaks to God and believes he is on a mission.

Where has he gotten the idea for this mission???

CommonDreams got that story from The Free Press. I went to their site--this is what it says on the entrance page:

Speaking Truth to Power: Progressive news and commentary from the web and print journal.

Bob Fitrakis (the author of the article you cited) has some other "interesting" articles on The Free Press home page:

1) Did Bush administration attack peace movement with military grade biological bacteria?

by Bob Fitrakis

2) Why can't the left face the Stolen Elections of 2004 & 2008?

by Bob Fitrakis

And The Free Press tops off their home page with an oped from Molly Ivins.

although I'm sure you'll find fault with the source

You're right. I think your source is weak.

[PocketRocket]

Yes, yes, MONTY, but it still leaves a few you haven't addressed.

Based on evidence at least as compelling as that which started the Iraq was, I'd say Bush thinks he's talking to God.
