``White House denies that God told Bush to invade Iraq''

October 09, 2005

Fuck, I love this title (and no, it's not The Onion). Remember, kids, this is the New Millenium, where Great World Leaders need to fucking deny that god is talking to them. Holy fucking jesus (and I mean that metaphorically, mind)!

``Mr. Shaath says that President Bush told a Palestinian delegation: "God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... and I did. 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."''

``At the briefing, a reporter asked if McClellan was aware of the comments ascribed to President Bush and McClellan replied, "No, that's absurd. He's never made such comments." Pushed further about the statements, McClellan responded, "No, I checked into that [BBC] report and I stand by what I just said."''
