Bush allegedly said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details. Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003, the ministers told the documentary series to be broadcast in Britain later this month. The US leader 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." A BBC spokesman said the content of the programme had been put to the White House but it had refused to comment on a private conversation. The three-part series, "Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs", charts the attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, from former US president Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999-2000 to Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza strip. The programme speaks to presidents and prime ministers, their generals and ministers, about what happened behind closed doors as the peace talks failed and the intifada grew. The series is due to be screened in Britain on October 10, 17 and 24.
I was listening to something about this on a radio talk show today. That's pretty scary if it's true.
It was reported on the news back in 2003 you mean to tell me none of you heard about. The dude is a kook.
Thanks smiles, i'll try and remember to see it. Do you think he actually believes any of his 'divinely ordained' bullshit? A member of Skull and Bones who masturbated in a coffin while divulging his deepest secrets to other bonesmen...amongst other things? I think he's just an incredibley audacious liar. Here's some recent footage of him looking like he's been indulging in copious amounts of Presidential quality cocaine: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/video/bush-miers.mov Why is Bush's jaw suddenly spasming, and/or teeth grinding uncontrollably?
Oh you go to hell you, It was reported on CNN in back in 03 seems the only network that gave a shit to report news back then. Til the news turned into Must see everything destroyed tv.
heh i was gonna post a link to that a few days ago but got lazy..... www.thatvideosite.com has some amazing shit
That was a major part of both of his campaigns. Bush has never made any bones about being a methodist. If anyone was un-aware of that they need to follow the elections a little more closely. Unless you pray to find out who you should vote for.
