Holy War

So, I'm assuming most of you have seen that delicious GQ article that takes Rummy apart from tip to toe. If not, go read. It's definitely an education.

One of Rummy's favorite tricks was putting Bible verses on fancy war pictures to whet Monkey Boy George's appetite for playing Holy War President. Here's one of those cover sheets, which disgraced the President's daily intelligence briefing:



Tristero puts this together with a few choice Bush quotes and comes to the logical conclusion:

Genuinely sickening. It makes you realize that this remark from September '01 was no idle slip of the tongue:

On Sunday, Bush warned Americans that "this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take awhile."

And also:

In the programmeElusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, which starts on Monday, the former Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath says Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. 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."

We must never, ever forget: for eight long years, this country was run by delusional, paranoid idiots. Whenever they took a break from the hard work of lining the plush coffers of their already-wealthy pals, they thought they were on a mission from God.

He's right. We must remember. And we must remind our fellow voters that this is the kind of shit that happens when you let a hyper-religious fucktard with an entitlement complex and delusions of world domination take the reins of the world's biggest spender on military toys.

Let's not make that mistake again.
