and if so, why did it take him so long (about 1500 years) to give it to us (yeah there were people here, but they dont count)?

We TOOK the land, God didn't give it to us.
We murdered millions of natives - wiping out, for all intents and purposes, an entire civilization and culture.
The manner in which we took this land is completely against the teachings of Jesus as written in the new testament.

This is great. I had a good laugh. Actually, you can start your own religion with this kind of thinking. The Mormons say some of the chosen people were in New Jersey. Go figure.

The only reason for American exceptionalism might have been what began as a revolutionary human rights system. American religious freedoms and rule of law were completely new directions in the post-enlightenment world.
However, seeing as how nowadays such laws exist in the entire Western world, such exceptionalism is worthless.

No, the Holy Land. Jerusalem is God's holy land and the Jews are God's chosen people. If you are not a Jew by birth then you are a gentile, grafted into the natural branch.

That's just exactly the attitude when they came here. The Indians don't count so let's just kill them all and steal this country. I just know God wants us to have it. So they did and God has not gotten over it no matter what you think. Neither have the few Indians who got away. Try not to worry.

The only country God refers to as being "My land" is the nation of Israel.

Israel and the area in the middle east is God's chosen land. Not here.

It was, probably, just a much a justification for GWB and his posse to start the Iraq War to exterminate and control people

the chosen land is Israel unfortunately the people he chose to live there did not keep up their side of the deal so HE has chosen thru JESUS to look to the Christians now. we did not abandon him like they did.
