BBC is reporting that a soon to be broadcast documentary quotes Palestinian Ministers as saying President Bush told them that God told him to invade Iraq and set up a Palestinian state.
Obviously, it would be difficult for such Islamic ministers to disagree with the President about what God has or has not told him to do in regard to Iraq.
It would also be difficult for Jewish and Christian Zionists to disagree with the President about what God told him to do in regard to Palestine.
That's the problem with theological trump cards. They move the conversation beyond the realm of rational discussion.
All you can do is observe the President's actions and see if they are consistent with someone who is truly on a mission from God or whether they are more akin to the actions of one who suffers from religious delusions.
As a matter of policy, I agree with the President on Palestine and disagree on Iraq. I would not presume to either assert or assume that God has spoken clearly to anyone on either issue.
