And God told me to smite the Democrats and I smote them
: Haaretz says it obtained selected minutes from the negotiations for a cease-fire among Palestinian PM Abbas the other Palestinian groups. It’s interesting reading throughout but then here’s the blockbuster paragraph:
According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: “God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them.”
If Bush really thinks that God is speaking to him and giving him military orders…. well, arrggh. Let’s hope this gained something in the translation. [via Harry Hatchet]
