When Bush claims he heard from God to bring war to Iraq, isn't that the same "logic" the terrorists use?

Question

How come the Republican's God says
things like kill all those innocent Iraqi
women & small kids?

Answer 1

That is the same logic that terrorists use, kind of interesting if you think about it. Also, one man's terrorist, is another man freedom fighter. So we are terrorists to the people who's homes are destroyed by our weapons.

Answer 2

I can't believe the uninformed ignorance on this subject.
The President never claimed that he heard from God.
The "Republicans' God never said to kill innocent Iraqi women and small kids. besides God doesnt belong to just the republicans
How utterly ridiculous.
Yes, women and children have been killed, the vast majority by the rebels and a few by a couple of outlaw service members angry when a roadside bomb killed their companions.
You go loose a friend to some murderous monsters and see if you can resist taking revenge. Its human nature. learn the facts to understand what is going on.
Most people dont even remember why we got into this "War" in the first place because they hated Bush so much and anything he did would be wrong in their eyes. Grow up people.
he is a closet Liberal and i dont particularly care for him because of that.
There is a vast difference in what Christians believe and what Moslems believe.
Christians may believe that certain things are wrong but they dont call for killing people for it. any that do are not real christians anyway.
Moslems believe that non muslims must (I emphasize the word Must)
1. Convert
2. pay a special tax for not converting
3. Die
Those are the only choices.
Its in the Koran, why do you think they hate it when someone translates it to another language other than arabic?
they don't want non muslims to know what is really in there.
Here is a real choice for you to make.
win this war on terrorism or wait until they start killing us over here.
The first place they will destroy when they get the chance will be the largest cities. New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit.
thats where all the Liberals live people. and then it will be left up to those Conservatives that are left to clean up the mess.
Get informed...Stay informed...And Vote. Vote, Vote
most young people don't vote, thats why Bush won.
If you dont like the way this country is being run,,,,Get Involved.
spouting off ignorant statments like this question without backing up your ignorance with facts will only lead to the situation we have now. a Divided Nation
Find out what Both of those Parties stand for really.
personally i am a Libertarian. there are websites, use them
If our nation is going to survive with our way of life intact,
Everyone needs to stop listening to the talking heads on tv and begin to get informed. not by emotionally charged rhetoric but by cold hard facts. Listen to the way News Anchors present the news. do they use certain words for one group but not another?
are they biased? you can tell if your honest with yourself.
start thinking with your head and not your heart.

ok, i'm done with my rant.. you can go now..

Answer 3

Keep in mind that, while Bush is a strong leader, he is a terrible public speaker. Also keep in mind that, during every war in American history, the main leader's popularity has gone down. Yes, people make Bush look like "the worst president ever" but that is what they have said about the president in every other war.

And, miraculously enough, if we win the war, his popularity will soar. And if we lose the war, he will be known as the worst President because the public couldn't bear to beleive that a leader might actually *gasp* not have a completely perfect please-everyone career. There are two sides to every issue, political or not.

Also, unless you cite a source with him stating that, this argument is invalid. How do we know he really said that? Note how the only people agreeing with you have not even seen this source, but are simply anti-Bush?

Give a concrete source and then we'll really talk.

Answer 4

Well which God:
NASDAK
EXXON MOBIL or
Haliburton

because according to thier scripture civilians are just a margin of collateral.

If it is the whole Christian thing; thats just a front to get uneducated creationists into the for profit holy war

Answer 5

I don't know if he really did say that, but with his intellect, I'd believe anything. Who could believe anything that anyone who says NUCULAR instead of NUCLEAR says, even if he is president. And, ues, it's exactly the same arguement..... God/Allah is on our side.

Answer 6

Same reason Joseph smith had plural wives. If it works for you than it is god tellingyou. zealots

Answer 7

Bush is not a good person

Answer 8

Pretty much....one wonders why God didn't give him a better plan while they were talking.

Answer 9

It is exactly the same, because he is exactly the same! Bush is a violent, fanatical, right-wing, fascist, fundamentalist ideologue who kills innocent civilians in the name of his god, while doing the exact opposite of what his god says to do; exactly like the violent, fanatical, right-wing, fascist, fundamentalist ideologues that kill innocent civilians in the name of their god while doing the exact opposite of what their god says to do that everyone knows as terrorists...the difference is that Bush has bombers to kill hundreds of thousands instead of home-made, low-tech, cheap bombs that can only kill a few people.

And for those forgetful ones...here are a few sources for you:

"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.’"

""You know he is the wrong father to appeal to in terms of strength. There is a higher father that I appeal to," Bush said. "

Any questions? Bush is a radicalist extremist and must be stopped! Being the (illegitimate) president of the most powerful nation in the world, and being what he is, he is the most dangerous man in the world!

Answer 10
