God told him to start the wars

George W. Bush started the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq because God told him to do it, in Bush’s own words.

“President Bush said to all of us: ‘I’m driven with a mission from God,’ ” said Nabil Shaath, who was the Palestinian foreign minister at the time of a top-level meeting with Bush in June 2003. Mahmoud Abbas, then Palestinian prime minister and now the Palestinian Authority president, was also present for the conversation with 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.”

No wonder he used the word “crusade” to describe his plans. I wonder if God personally approved the torture and murder of prisoners, too.
