This isn't good enough?

And now we hear that the American President George W. Bush received a divine message telling him to invade Iraq. But a couple of days ago Deputy Prime Minister of Palestine Nabil Shaath quoted George W. Bush as saying that God told him to invade Iraq and attack Afghanistan, as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, but said he did not take the American President’s comments literally.“But we never thought that he literally had God speaking to him,” Shaatha said on Friday.

Bush made those remarks during a meeting with Palestinian leaders more than two years ago, according to a
new BBC series. “President Bush said to all of us: ‘I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan’. “And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East’. And by God I’m gonna do it’,” Shaath quoted Bush as saying.
