Found this old article this morning. Bush cannot deny he thinks God told him to invade:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>In Woodward's portrait, President Bush is single-minded, and possibly simple-minded, in his resolve. He seems to have relied more on divine guidance than the considered opinions of his top advisers. Bush told Woodward that as he approached the final decision to go to war, "<!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I was praying for strength to do the Lord's will</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> ... I'm surely not going to justify war based on God. Understand that. Nevertheless, in my case <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I pray that I be as good a messenger of His will as possible.</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->"<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/">www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4767542/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>By Evan Thomas<br><br>April 26, 2004<br><br>At the end of this article, it is reported that Bush told Woodward he didn't care about history:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>Bush displayed no second thoughts about Iraq's postwar miseries or the failure to turn up any WMD. "I haven't suffered doubt," he told Woodward. When the author—quoting Bush's political adviser Karl Rove—suggested that "all history gets measured by outcomes," Bush "smiled," reports Woodward. " 'History,' he said, shrugging, taking his hands out of his pockets, extending his arms out and suggesting with his body language that it was so far off. 'We won't know. We'll all be dead'."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>It's interesting to go back and re-read some of these old news accounts in light of what we know today. History IS instructive! <p></p><i></i>
