Bush: The Devil made him say it

[proldic]

Online Journal September 13, 2005<br><br>The Devil made him say it: Mr. President's war on language<br><br>By Tony Zurlo<br>Contributing Writer<br><br>Mr. President has told the nation: "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."... <br><br>When questioned about the flooding of New Orleans, Mr. President offered these divinely inspired words: "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." Perhaps he misunderstands God on occasion.<br><br>Or maybe the Devil messes with the celestial switchboard. <br><br>In that case, maybe Mr. President's imperial slogans and clichés are Lucifer's fault...<br> <br>It must have been the Devil who declared "mission accomplished" on May 1, 2003, when Mr. President descended from the sky onto the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln...<br> <br>...Is God telling the president that Americans should support his plan to convert Iraq into the regional hub for American capitalism? Or is the Devil messing with the president's hearing aid? Staying the course will ensure that the Halliburton wing of the president's "circle of trust" can wrap its tentacles around the Iraqi infrastructure and begin raking in huge profits from government contracts. Does that sound like advice from God or Lucifer?<br><br>Another compelling mantra repeated by Mr. President is that the constant death of young Americans is the sacrifice we must pay for our freedom...This idea is so bizarre that only the Devil's persuasion can account for it.<br><br>To promote his policies, Mr. President habitually uses slang phrases that most Americans use only in jest. On July 3, 2003, he announced to the world that insurgents in Iraq "feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on." Frankly, I doubt that this reckless boasting characterizes heavenly language. Unfortunately, anti-American terrorists from a dozen countries took the president's challenge literally and began pouring into Iraq. Mr. President created an ideal training ground for terrorists...<br><br>...Grasping for an excuse to fight a war only supports the theory that Mr. President has been in contact with a "higher authority," but perhaps not the one he expected.<br><br>...On August 11, Mr. President told reporters, "I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan. . . . She has every right in the world to say what she believes. This is America."...So, Mr. President consulted a higher authority for counsel. From leaks at the Crawford ranch, we know what the Devil told him to say. But it is not fit language for family consumption...<br><br>Mr. President claims that he is above challenge: "I'm the commander, see, I don't need to explain. I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." Now does that sound like the humility of Jesus, Mr. President's role model?<br><br>I wonder if the thousand families who have lost relatives in Iraq are satisfied that Mr. President does not "need to explain why I say things"? Or the citizens who used to be residents of New Orleans?<br><br>If I didn't know better, I'd say that Mr. President's celestial cell phone has been hijacked by Lucifer.<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.onlinejournal.com/Commentary/091305Zurlo/091305zurlo.html">www.onlinejournal.com/Com...zurlo.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
