The president described praying as he walked outside the Oval Office after giving the order to begin combat operations against Iraq, and the powerful role his religious belief played throughout that time.
"Going into this period, I was praying for strength to do the Lord's will. . . . I'm surely not going to justify war based upon God. Understand that. Nevertheless, in my case I pray that I be as good a messenger of His will as possible. And then, of course, I pray for personal strength and for forgiveness."
This next line is so Bush, it almost proves that this ghost worship business has some validity, with the holy ghost making so many stupid humans in his own image.
Asked by Woodward how history would judge the war, Bush replied: "History. We don't know. We'll all be dead."
But the scariest words from Bush's mouth to Woodward are the following:
Bush said he did not remember asking the question [to go to war or not] of his father, former president George H.W. Bush, who fought Iraq in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. But, he added that the two had discussed developments in Iraq.
"You know he is the wrong father to appeal to in terms of strength. There is a higher father that I appeal to," Bush said.
Yeah, and we didn't elect him, either!
Isn't it yet clear to everyone with at least a high school education that the greatest evil in this world is the result of the three dominant western monotheistic religions of this world--Jew, Christian and Muslim, ghost worshippers all--killing other ghost worshippers because their ghost is the one true ghost?
Goddamn all ghost worshippers except those like Jimmy Carter, because he actually practices what the great teacher Jesus Christ tried to teach--long before that fool Paul came along and mucked it up for all time.
