What's with the remark "thank God" on the tape?

[shraby]

"It appeared to him (Mr. Bush) that a little girl's talk about her goat and its butting was more important than the planes and their butting of the skyscrapers. That gave us three times the required time to carry out the operations, thank God," he said."


Wouldn't he be saying "thank Allah"? Hmmmmmm

5. Haven't seen it yet, so are you saying "UBL" says "thank god" or the

translator says it? Is it in english?

7. He did say "Allah"

You cannot translate Allah as anything other than God. He is clearly speaking in Arabic on the tape.

The translator just decided to put it down as God instead of Allah. Yahweh also means God, but since Jews will not say his name, the other names for God thing is almost completely a Muslim-Christian deal.
