Bush claims God told him to invade Iraq, Afghanistan

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.

It all depends on how it is that god tells him this. Whether he feels god is audibly telling him this or if he is just certain that his sense of the right thing to do comes from god. It is hardly unusual for religious people to think there is some form of communication between them and their deity.

But I already think it is silly to think god even exists so I don't consider it that much odder to speak with it.

Perhaps it's not uncommon to believe in having communcation with God. However, it does seem odd that God would tell someone to wage a war since there seems to be a universal message going through most religions that God wants the people of the world to be at peace with each other.

There aren't that many Pacifist dieties out there and the Judeo-Christian one is hardly one.

God told me Kicking the Sheet out of the taliban was good Idea after what they backed (9/11)

God also Told me he appears to GW Bush as a talking Squirrel holding a Bottle of Jack Daniels outside the Oval Office Window.

God Appears to me in a bottle of Valium. So Far, So Good.

God told me to have leftover BBQ ribs for breakfast. Who am I to disobey a direct order from God?
