Current and former military and intelligence officials have told me that the President remain convinced that it is his personal mission to bring democracy to Iraq, and that he is impervious to political pressure, even from fellow Republicans. They also say that he disparage any information that conflicts with his view of how the war is proceeding.At what point does this constitute a diagnosis of mental illness? Who voted for this fanatic with the messiah complex?
Bush’s closest advisers have long been aware of the religious nature of his policy commitments. In recent interviews, one former senior official, who served in Bush’s first term, spoke extensively about the connection between the President’s religious faith and his view of the war in Iraq. After the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the former official said, he was told that Bush felt that “God put me here” to deal with the war on terror. The President’s belief was fortified by the Republican sweep in the 2002 congressional elections; Bush saw the victory as a purposeful message from God that “he’s the man,” the former official said. Publicly, Bush depicted his reĆ«lection as a referendum on the war; privately, he spoke of it as another manifestation of divine purpose.
Whoever you all are, I hope your consciences are kicking your asses. Chimpie thinks he's bringing about the New Jerusalem from a smoking pile of ruins and broken lives. That's on your heads, you motherfuckers, every last one of you.

If Bush the Lesser identifies with this "Jesus Christ" character, we can only hope they meet the same end. Only problem is, I don't think The Hague countenances public crucifixions. Darn those civilized types!
At least Vice-Chimp Cheney isn't a religious zealot. Maybe because his superior intelligence (compared with Chimp-in-Chief) causes him to be too cynical for religion. Or, if Wilkerson is to be believed, he may not have time to spare from fine-tuning his terror schemes. Hm, could there be some sour grapes from this Powell underling?
