Is GWB's own personal God that told him to invade Iraq to blame for this war or was the Pres just delusional?

The God that I learned about in church and that I worship would not tell anyone to just invade a country.  To indicate that the president is delusional would be to indicate that I thought he didn't know what he was doing.  This invasion of Iraq was a plan he had conceived since before he ever became president.  The plans for this were in motion before the 9/11 attacks ever occurred.

He's a WAR president and he has said that himself.  He likes going to war to resolve his problems.  Ask yourself this.  WHY are we in Iraq?  Did Saddam Hussain have ANYTHING to do with the terror on the USA? He's trying to be like his father.

Absolutely, he thinks of himself as some kind of God's helper. He beleives that this world will end soon because of the Chistian fundamentalist superstitions of the apocalipse. He beleives that it is his place to start WW3.  He even talks about using Nukes, is that insane or what!?\n\nHe is also from an oil family, and like Iraq, he beleives he needs to get control of all the oil he can in the middle east. He needs to be stopped or at least reined in. The congress in this country is bought and paid for by those who have a stake in money and power so it will be business as usual and they will allow him to do as he pleases.\n\nI am ashamed of my country, the United States for what it's become.

If KKKarl Rove and Dick Cheney are God, and that's your view of your God. I have another vision of what God is and it is a Christian view. Warmongering and profiteering isn't in any scriptures in my Bible either.

very good question. I think they are apologists primarily because GW is hell bent on countering Islamofascism. So, anything Bush is for, they must be against. It also doesnt help that nothing has blown up around here lately. If the Islamic Flying Circus had been more successful in hijacking planes and blowing up innocents there would be fewer apologists.

I read all these responses and I'm stunned.\nPerhaps the problem is ... I'm not a Liberal.\nI am a student of history, however ... and GWB could not possibly be compared to Hitler.  To do so actually lessens and trivializes the evil that was Hitler.  I understand that some people hate GWB ... that's their prerogative ... I understand the arguments and the passion behind those opinions ... but comparing GWB to Hitler and actually BELIEVING Hitler would be a better "choice" only shows that some peoples' opinions are not based on knowledge and reason but, instead, on words they believe have shock value and effect ... much like Hitlers Ministery of Propaganda.  Until now, I never made the connection ... I guess Hitler was Liberal and this would explain the predominance of the answers to this question.  Hitler was a genocidal, drug-addicted madman who believed in occultism and the superiority of one "race" over others (whether or not they were German) and their birth-right to maim, rape, murder, torture and destroy a peoples because they claimed they were less than human.  Regardless of the arguments against GWB ... he has not lead a proganda campaign to brainwash adults and formed youth-groups of children to convince them that "all Muslims" are less than human and must all be destroyed.   Hate GWB if you choose ... but don't be so proud of your ignorance to compare him to Hitler ... shame on you.

No, not at all. \n\nAs early as summer of 2000, I was taking bets on when --- not if, when --- GWB would get us involved in a mid-east war (provided he secured the presidency, of course). Giving the military to George W Bush was like giving a hammer to a three year old. Suddenly everything looks like a nail.\n\nThere were so many other options available this evil man chose to ignore those other options in his rush to war. He has deliberately and dishonorably sacrificed the lives of our sons and daughters to his pride and ambition.

No.  He never told anyone to worship him.  The morons started doing that all on their own.  I think it was wrong of him to not stop them, perhaps he did and no one wrote that part down.

so what if he did? whether you think Jesus was who he said he was he did say he why he was doing it.  and any military person is putting his life on the line to defend freedom.  Sounds like a sound statement.  To say american gis dont do it for other countries is so far from the truth its insulting.  The goal of military is to restore peace to the world.   Why did we help In WWI or do all we did in WWII.    \n\nand I dont believe in religion.

Because it is all a bunch a crap to make you think " Oh I better listen to someone else because my thoughts are wrong. People want to control other people why trying to scare them with bible writings .The bible and religion has caused much hatred And sins over the years and some people will kill you if you do not believe the Christian ways. Look what white man did to the American Indian. Look what it has caused people to become in other countries.What is important is that you live a clean life and take care of your family and be good to the earth and animals.Do you really think Bush is a God fearing man, " If he was he would not have sent people to the electric chair or sent our boys over seas to kill other people for oil. We have plenty of oil and need to find other ways for energy which in fact we have but the oil business is afraid to lose money.I wonder if any of the men that were sentenced to death were innocent.

Neither for, nor against.\n1) no.  preemtive war on a sovereign nation is the opposite of Jesus' teaching.  not to mention internationally illegal.\n2) no.  i have mentioned in another post that GW doesn't believe in God, or at least his actions say so.  He doesn't trust that God will protect him from death and so he relies on secret service and armored vehicles rather than his god.\n3) Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind, and the second is like it, Love your neighbour as yourself.  Pretty self explanatory.

God would say, George I'm sorry you are having to go through this, but you will be rewarded, and the people of Iraq will be grateful when this is all through.  I'm sorry that Satan (democrats) is in league with the evil forces of the media to ruin this country.  This is a test of this country grit, and although it seems dark right now, we will come forth the winners.  Keep the faith, you are doing the right thing.

A certifiable megalomaniac and a war criminal. George W. Bush is suffering from a peculiar but not that uncommon form of madness in which a pathological part of his psyche has co-opted all of the healthy parts into its service. An unknown condition, where ‘something’ has taken possession of a smaller or greater portion of the psyche and asserts its hateful and harmful existence undeterred by all our insight, reason, and energy, thereby proclaiming the power of the unconscious over the conscious mind, the sovereign power of possession. Bush has been taken over by an unconscious complex of the collective unconscious. We speak of a mother complex, or a father complex, but Bush has what we could call a savior complex. Inflated by the power, Bush is suffering from delusions of grandeur, and has become megalomaniac. He is unconsciously identified with the archetype of the Messiah. Bush told an Amish group in 2004 that “God speaks through me.”\nBush imagines that God actually speaks to him as well; in 2003 he told Palestinian ministers that God told him to invade Iraq. “One should listen to the inner voice attentively, intelligently and critically, (Probate spiritus!) [test the spirits], because the voice one hears is the influxus divinus consisting, as the Acts of John aptly state, of “right” and “left” streams, i.e., of opposites. They have to be clearly separated so that their positive and negative aspects become visible.” John 4:1 says, “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God.” \nJust because one hears an inner voice doesn’t necessarily mean it is the voice of God. Listened to uncritically, we could just as easily be seduced by the Devil. Bush has become inflated with an archetype of the collective unconscious, which is an expression of madness.\nHe has become identified with one side, the light, of an inherently two-sided polarity, and projects out the other, dark side, which he then tries to destroy. By shadow projecting in this manner, Bush has become possessed by the very evil he is projecting outside of himself. \n\nThis is to fall under the spell of the Devil, who is rightly called “the deceiver.” A clearer case of madness is hard to imagine.

Yes, refer to the 12th Arcticle of Fatih of the LDS church, as cited above.  What a ridiculous thing to say, honestly.  \n\nBesides, I thought George W was the one trying to do that?\n\nOr, could it be . . . . SATAN!\n\nAnd there is a war going on, it is a spiritual war, and all those who believe in God the Father and His Son, our Redeemer, will be on the winning side - not just Mormons, despite what South Park may tell you.

(Whining) "He lied.."  "He went to war for oil" or you'll get this one: "He's stupid"\n\nI would like to see, myself, if anyone actually has a valid proven reason.  I know there won't be.

The Prez "thinks" he has received revelation from God to do what he does. What he does, however, is seek to rearrange the world to suit himself, probably to pay back campaign supporters such as Halliburton and other oil companies. (It certainly isn't Iraq's pickle industry he is seeking, and since bin Laden is apparently still alive, it certainly isn't bin Laden he's seeking, either.) It's not funny by any means. It's expensive. Over 2,000 American soldiers have lost their lives, and several more thousand have been injured and/or maimed. And though the Prez looking like he was trying to guess the number of beans in a jar when he guessed 30,000 Iraqi's had been killed, the number is more like 100,00 -- and that's human beings, not beans. He should bring our heroes back home, as soon as it is safe for them to back out, instead of leaving them there to be picked off, one at a time. (Remember, the American death toll was only about 100 when he staged his photo opportunity aboard an aircraft carrier to declare the war was over. What a phoney.)

Definitely. In the early stage of the socalled 'war against terror' he declared that this war was a 'crusade'. But later on, he changed his tune. Muslims are no more worse than that of Israelis. If he was really against tyranny, why didn't he attack Israel? The fact is Bush is the real tyrant himself. He invaded Iraq based on lies. He's only interested to rob iraq of her oil. \nThe fact is the real tyrants control the major media. Its like the tyrants can shout out LOUDEST - that muslims are terrorists and out to control the world whereas the muslims cannot defend themselves. Bush and his gang can paint the muslims or anybody they hate any colour they want because they have the loudest voice.
