Bush: "God inspired me to hit Al Queda...and...Saddam...": FASCISM
Edited on Fri Oct-14-05 12:31 PM by rbajai
Christian fascism to be exact...check this out...

<snip>
Loop Fans will recall that the Palestinian kerfuffle began in June 2003, when an Israeli paper reported that former Palestinian prime minister Mahmoud Abbas said Bush told the Palestinian leaders: "God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam Hussein, which I did."

The White House declined to clarify, but the Israeli reporter at the time read what he said were the Palestinians' minutes of the meeting to an Arabic-speaking colleague here. Our colleague's translation was different: "God inspired me to hit al Qaeda, and so I hit it. And I had the inspiration to hit Saddam, and so I hit him."

Substantially different, we felt. Moreover, this is Abbas's account in Arabic of what Bush said in English, written down by a note-taker in Arabic and then put back into English.

The newest uproar was sparked by a BBC documentary airing this week in which Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath says Bush said during that meeting that he was "driven with a mission from God."

"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." This sounds much like the original Haaretz version. Bush then allegedly said God had now told him to "go get the Palestinians their state."

3. It's the idea that God personally speaks to * that is frightening...
as if he's some kind of king or prophet. As if he has received a special revelation from God that we have to bow down to him and worship him. All part of the clever deception that * has pushed onto the gullible sheeple...luckily many are waking up and becoming aware of *'s tricks.

And yes, it does appear that * is quite a mental case in this regard.
