If he believes in GOD should we test him to see what he really believes? Would he want to be treated that way? Has he fought in a war. Does he know what it feels like to get shot at and then not know if you will be coming home to your loved ones or not?

FDR should have gone to Europe to fight in WWII, also.

Of course he believes in the Ten Commandments, he's a Christian fundamentalist. That's part of the problem, believing 'God' is telling him to do these things.
As for war, he has never seen combat. Few presidents actually have. Personally I have always believed a President should fight in any war they declare (rather convince Congress to declare). In ancient times, and the medieval era to a degree, the political leader always fought in battle.
Today, generals and the 'commander-in-chief' have little or nothing to do with the battle. They instead 'strategize' or give orders from the comfort of their offices. Honorable warfare has been gone for long time, and there's very little chance that it will return.
So as much as one might like the idea of Bush going to Iraq, or any President going to war for that matter, it won't happen.

What do the 10 commandments have to do with anything?
What are there, 2 commandments that mention the name God? What are the others?
Take off on Sunday.
Don't kill people.
Don't steal their stuff.
Don't cheat on you significant other.
Man...that's some downright, religious-right hatemongering right there I tell ya.
Seriously...get a life. If someone's religious background bothers you so much--and for apparently no good reason--then maybe you just shouldn't be allowed to vote? Stop paying attention to this stuff, and do yourself and the rest of the country a favor.

What does belief in God and following the 10 Commandments have to do with Iraq, whether he's fought in a war, etc?
The gap (well, chasm, actually) in logic between these two points cannot be bridged.

It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to send others to fight and die. There are some things in this world that are worth dieing for, contrary to liberal belief. The vast majority of our armed forces believe it, otherwise they would not have signed up. If we wanted to keep our fighting men out of harm's way at all costs, why have them in the first place? And why call them "fighting men" if their primary mission is to deliver pizza? The success of the mission is NOT subject to the safety of the soldiers. That would be passivism and you don't win armed conflicts that way. The primary job of the US military is to kill people and break things. It's secondary job is to rebuild what it destroyed, but this is always optional.
By the way, are you a liberal? If so, why are you bringing religion into this?

In fact, why dont we get every president who has ever forced the united states to go to war to go to iraq, just to be safe. Which commandment are you referring to? I am sure the president would go over to Iraq if he felt it was for the benefit of the country.

Maybe you should go over to Iraq and see the truth and not the BS that the liberal media is allowing you to see.

Yes send him to Iraq, pull out the troops and let the terrorist man up and stand for what they "believe in." One on one, who do you think will come out as the coward?? Hmm..why don't we just do this anytime a president/prime minister/queen/king/etc ever has a problem with another??

Well, he has opposed abortion, which means he probably believes in "Thou shalt not kill"
However, with the war in Iraq, does killing people to prevent them from killing others justify the act? Does the end justify them means?
If we kill a few thousand Iraqis to save them from killing tens of thousands more, does it excuse our killing them?
Some Christians would say yes, some would say no. I think killing should only be done in the most desperate of circumstances.
