This is older than jesus on a dinosaur but here goes!

"President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse.

Now out of office, Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their "common faith" (Christianity) and told him: "Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.""

I voted for him twice. On a bright side I had a revelation after the middle of his second term and voted for Obama. Guess we'll see how that works out.

Anything/everything related to the Bush administration and the current state of the GOP is so fucking retarded and mind boggling that I don't really know how to react to it anymore.

All I can say is "lol ok, I'm not even surprised".

We fight the demons there so we don’t have to fight them in W’s mind.

Also, why the fuck does all that cool stuff happens when The Daily Show and the Colbert Report are on vacation?

This is when countries have to rethink who the religious maniacs, mass murders and terrorists really are.

Jesus, some of you people are gullible. Someone could start a thread stating that George Bush ate kittens for breakfast and you'd have people in there 30 seconds later going "OMG, seriously? What a monster!"

Yes of course. Because this is the first utterly moronic thing Bush has said so we should take this with a grain of salt.

If this were news about someone else, perhaps more skepticism would be nice, but considering it's Bush I wouldn't be surprised the least bit if it were true. I'll quote DA...

Because he's the hero Amerikuh deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So you'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not your hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

gog and magog is considered by many theologians to be russia not iraq.

Gog and magog was written that its location was "a far land north of judea"

but that's beside the point, back to the bush-bashing circle jerk.

That's probably exactly what the embattled Republican stalwarts convince themselves.

There is a pretty big difference between misjudging a person's character and this. The first is an expression; he was wrong, but that was just shows that he is a horrible judge of character (like basically everything else).

The second is a little weirder, but not really all that crazy, except on GAF where religious people (or even anybody who identifies as anything other than Atheist or Agnostic) are regarded in a similar way to mold on bread.

Kinda reminds me of the story that Rumsfeld would dress his military advice up as biblical quotes to get Bush to lap it up.

Draper reports that Rumsfeld’s monomaniacal determination to protect his Pentagon turf led him to hobble and antagonize America’s most willing allies in Iraq, Britain and Australia, and even to undermine his own soldiers. But Draper’s biggest find is a collection of daily cover sheets that Rumsfeld approved for the Secretary of Defense Worldwide Intelligence Update, a highly classified digest prepared for a tiny audience, including the president, and often delivered by hand to the White House by the defense secretary himself. These cover sheets greeted Bush each day with triumphal color photos of the war headlined by biblical quotations.

As Draper writes, Rumsfeld is not known for ostentatious displays of piety. He was cynically playing the religious angle to seduce and manipulate a president who frequently quoted the Bible. But the secretary’s actions were not just oily; he was also taking a risk with national security.

Bush teh Evangelical has teh religion? This is news now?

btw, Obama just spoke about it being part of God's mission or whatever to introduce health care reform. And he invoked the man upstairs in his olive branch speech to the Middle East too.

But the fact that this is somewhat believable says something about the subject of ridicule.:lol

Uh whatever. It's the typical double standard towards religion. If you hear voice in your head, you're crazy. If God talks to you, you're having a religious experience.

I don't see how a story like this about Bush is "completely unbelievable", and how reacting negatively toward it is bashing. How are you supposed to react to it otherwise? "Good for him" ...?

Obama has done so plenty of other times as well, including during the elections.

But it's only a problem when Republicans do it. Another recent example: Bill Clinton's "New Covenant"

Which proves that Bush and Obama worship different God's. But they are both Christian. How can this be!?!?!

Probably because Bush uses it as a(n) reason/excuse for war, people are still bitter about the crusades.

The implications of their "contact" with god is slightly different though. :p


I still think it's stupid, but I don't have a problem with people claiming to be in touch with God if it just is to gain inner strength, or promote solidarity or humanity. I don't like it if they use their "talks with god" to justify a war....

And then there is this:
Nabil Shaath says: "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.'"

Abu Mazen was at the same meeting and recounts how President Bush told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state."

The Bush whitehouse denies the story though. But who know? The Rumsfeld slides are not in dispute . . . so . . .
