Actually, it was the CIA who suggested it - not God.

I suspect it’ll be:
You shall inherit the Earth!

He did?? Wow. And here I thought Georgies popularity was plummeting! With God behind him he can never lose!

Maybe God will finally teach him how to pronounce the word 'nuclear'....

Does he have problems with the word? The only president I remember that had that trouble was Jimmy Carter.

I think God's next message has to do with flossing.

It would be nice if God told him to resign.

May_wentee :D

I thought the Magna Carta was made to tell God to stop talking to Political leaders. ;-)

Nothing. god doesn't exist.
Bush is just having hallucinations, induced by genocidal spasms and former drug abuse.

When people start getting arrested in the White House (starting with Rove and Libby), and the indictments start flying, then God is going to tell George to do whatever he has to in order to stay in power and serve his Lord. Then we'd better watch the fuck out.

Actually, it was the CIA who suggested it - not God.

That's right,the CIA came to the president and sayd "Hey we need to invade Iraq" because that's exactly how it happens.

What happend is the president went to the CIA and say - gimmy everything you got on Iraq - and pressured and bullied and had Tennant drudging up every discredited and laughable peice of intel that they had sitting around to compile it all into a report which then didn't even really get looked at or discussed for much time at all before we just went off to war without a care - it was all a sham.

It would have been nice if God had also told him about 9/11 and the extent of Katrinas devastation.

With God on Our Side - Bob Dylan

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

:D

George! It's Thursday, take the rubbish out!

I never realized before just how lonely and desperate God is.

Up here in the Canadian north, last election we voted in a government mired deep in admitted scandal because most of us did not want the other party led by a guy who believed the Earth was only 5000 years old. We prefer corruption I guess, but I'll take it compared to having politics and religion running the country.

If we are lucky, God will sing him a final lulaby...

'Suicide is Painless'

Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
[REFRAIN]:
that suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
I try to find a way to make
all our little joys relate
without that ever-present hate
but now I know that it's too late, and...
[REFRAIN]
The game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
so this is all I have to say.
[REFRAIN]
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat.
[REFRAIN]
The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...
[REFRAIN]
A brave man once requested me
to answer questions that are key
is it to be or not to be
and I replied 'oh why ask me?'
[REFRAIN]
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you please.

god is such a nice guy.. he's so quiet ;)

God apparently told Bush to invade Iraq. Shouldn't we be scared as to what God is going to tell him next?

I was just wondering if the body count in Iraq should be added to God's already incredibly long ledger because of his conversation with Dubyah? God just keeps coming up with new ways to kill, amazing!

Assuming this statement is correct, I'm afraid God might tell Bush to separate this nation between the goats and the sheep, and then using nukes on the former to summon God.

I'm an Atheist.

Were I President, I would have acted with extreme prejudice to take down Saddam, too.

My only question is: Was there not enough oxygen in your incubator as a newborn?

You folks can't do real science in a felt-lined petrie dish. Sorry. You're only making the rest of us wonder where to stick the pin through you and mount you with the rest of the specimens in the display case.

I'm an Atheist.

Then it should scare the shit out of you that the president is, by his OWN admission, doing what God tells him to do, regardless of whether God's mandates agrees with your agenda.

Well, I don't know ...congress agreed to all of it, didn't they? What does that tell you about who controls what's done or not AND by whom?

Baron Max

That has nothing at all to do with the President openly admitting that God speaks to him and tells him what to do.

...LOL! Yeah, god may tell him what to do, but he can't do it unless congress approves it! ...LOL!

And the Republican controlled congress approves almost everything he wants, so...

so lets shed some light on the issue then. the problem extends far beyond george bush himself. the crux of the issue i think lies in the fact that at the very least the pretense of religiosity is a requirement if you want to become an elected official on the national stage in the US. the southern and midwestern portions of our country dont normally elect leaders that aren't "good christians". so why would you think it matters a bit who controls congress if Bush is touting being given direct instruction by god? what congressman is going to come out and say "hey thats completely ridiculous" even though a 4 year old would know its ridiculous? the religious agenda permeates every level of political life in washington because neither the republicans or the democrats can risk alienating the evangelical christian voting demographic. im not so naive as to think this particular agenda is the only one that really matters to every senator and representative, but it has weight to varying degrees among them all. when it comes to something like the war in iraq, where the fuel industry, the car companies, the church, and about 10,000 other assorted big donor corporate interests stand to benefit from the possible fruits of the bloodshed and are throwing their support at the invasion, its useful to cloak it in the guise of something other that pure greed, so why not religion?

the political climate that makes belief in religion a de facto requirement to hold elected office will probably wind up with only the best leaders that can be provided from that pool. i would argue that the pool is not too diverse and not too terribly intelligent. whether god talks to bush or not, our country's religion obsession allows for that kind of accusation to have merit and its pretty pathetic.

1-Ravin',
Then it should scare the shit out of you...
I'm quite comfortable with rationality; thank you, very much.

...that the president is, by his OWN admission,...
The President actually confided in you?

No?

Then someone else whispered in your ear and you're off and running with it, reductio ad absurdum.

Sorry, dude. Chuckle fragments are leaking around my BS filters.

...doing what God tells him to do, regardless of whether God's mandates agrees with your agenda.
Idiot savants exist.

There are more people characterized by one of the two nouns then there are of the other.

I can't help but feel that this shows more about your political ignorance than about Bush's religion. Saddam was an American-made puppet. He did get out of control a little, demanding rights for Arabs and what-not, but we had him back under control before we invaded.
