Did God tell Bush to "surge" like he told him to invade and occupy Iraq?

[NNN0LHI]

Shouldn't someone be asking Bush about this. I think it is kind of important. When it was looking like "Mission Accomplished" that is who Bush said gave him go ahead. Did he check with God again this time or is this nut winging it on his own?

1. As I recall God gave him a set of instructions...

attack al-quaeda, then attack Saddam. You bring up a good point, has God given him a new set of instructions, or is he just guessing now as to what God wants? :shrug:

2. Please quit spreading the fallacy that B* is, was or ever will be

a "Man of God." It is too revolting to contemplate without becoming nauseated.

[Benhurst]

3. Unfortunately "Man of God" Bush has a large following of so-called

Christians. While we may reject the Jim Jones and George Bushes of the world, their followers are legion.

To live in BushAmerica is to risk being constantly nauseated.

5. Jim Jones was a lunatic. GWB is a hypocrit and a liar! (and yes

I'm nauseated even thinking about B*!)

[gulliver]

10. Of course, the fact that GWB is a hypocrite and a liar ...

... doesn't mean he isn't also some kind of lunatic. Bush seems to think that because he is a politician and president, he is free to deceive and free to do so on a presidential scale. But he was probably natively deceitful before he became a politician. I think he's definitely damaged.

[WiseButAngrySara]

11. Yes! IMO, B* is all of the above: lunatic, hypocrite and liar ...and...

a sociopath.

4. Bush did make reference to the "Author of Liberty".....

guiding us through these times in his "augmentation" speech so I guess he's still in touch with God.

[Benhurst]

7. Yes, that reference was really sick and scary, unless he

was referring to Thomas Jefferson's writing the Declaration of Independence -- which I'm sure he wasn't.

We have a twisted madman running and ruining this country.

[Missy M]

9. I doubt he was referring to Thomas Jefferson....

and yes the reference was sick and scary. It was either Bush or his speech writer thinking they were so clever.

6. His god is his cocaine impaired brain

Fuck Bush. Impeach his criminal ass.

8. Maybe they'll ask him that on "60 Minutes"

I'm not holding my breath. No one ever asks Bush anything really tough. All Woodward asked Bush was whether he talked to his (Bush's) father. Then Bush went into the http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/15/60minutes/main612067.shtml">"higher father" stuff.

Did Mr. Bush ask his father for any advice? “I asked the president about this. And President Bush said, ‘Well, no,’ and then he got defensive about it,” says Woodward. “Then he said something that really struck me. He said of his father, ‘He is the wrong father to appeal to for advice. The wrong father to go to, to appeal to in terms of strength.’ And then he said, ‘There's a higher Father that I appeal to.’"

It's an astonishing answer any way you look at it. Is it crazy? Is it a lie? Is it foolish?

If Bush didn't ask his own father, I think that breaks the Fifth Commandment ("Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."). Not asking one's own former president father is also stupid and egotistical.

Of course, given Bush's fondness for lying to reporters, Bush might actually have asked Bush Senior (and just lied to Woodward about not asking him). Maybe Bush did ask his father, and his father (predictably) said, "Hell no, don't go!"

The bit about asking God for "advice" and "strength" is crazy, at least the advice part. It's Pat Robertson territory. But my bet is that Bush didn't even ask God for advice. It's probably just a lie for political purposes.

To your question, NNNOLHI, I would add the follow-up: "Mr. Bush, do you take responsibility for God's mistake?"

13. Bush, as he is extremely delusional...

has convinced himself, probably with more than a little help from Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of the PNAC crowd, that he is smarter than his father.

14. Dear Leader just expects others to die for his sins - following Jesus' example, of course.

The more he 'sins' then the more who have to die. That's the "math."

After all, weren't the 'greatest' Presidents the one's who sent the most to die??
