If I wasn't scared before, I am NOW
We kid about this all the time that * talks to God...Well evidently the entire world now knows it.

quote.....
LONDON: An appalled, only marginally amused Britain and much of Europe has reacted with shock to an extraordinary revelation by the BBC, which claims President Bush confessed to senior Palestinian leaders that God told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
----
Meanwhile, Bush, famously a born-again Christian and infamously pilloried in Europe for likening the ‘war on terror’ to a latter-day crusade against radical Islamists, was parodied on frontpages. The president was variously portrayed with a golden halo, speaking out of a crystal ball, or intoning, messiah-like from on high that he was God’s messenger.

----
Shaath, the Palestinians'senior negotiator, recalls, "President Bush said to all of us, 'I am driven with a mission from God’. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan'. And I did.


end quote.....

This may call for a pint of Ben & Jerry's..OMG! This is too much! No wonder he won't leave Iraq...GOD doesn't want him to

1. Great.
Now, the whole world is laughing at us ... AGAIN.

Well, now that I think about it, it has probably been a continual thing for at least 5 years.

Grrr...

5. Sadly though
HE never went to Iraq. Maybe when he's not pResident anymore, he'll buy a vacation home there.

I can dream, can't I?

2. Phish food or Chocolate therapy? B & J to the rescue. Really
though, that lying lunatic * is NO CHRISTIAN! He's working with the great deceiver to spread fear and hate and destruction all in the name of God. BE YE NOT DECEIVED. (BTW that last bit is not for you as I get that you don't believe his lies.)

31. super national security adviser, a secretary of higher state.
the article in the Guardian is priceless

quote.....
The Maker of US policy

What a stroke of luck that God's advice to George Bush fits so neatly alongside US national interests
How well does 'god' know geography? Is it a coincidence that they are all energy rich countries?

12. Does this make sense? Why didn't God just stop the 9/11 terrorists?
In fact, bush is now BLAMING GOD for his failures in Iraq.

He needs to see his priest or something.

13. Someone was saying there was no way he actually said those
things, but I read them and feel the pacing and syntax, and that's him. That quote is just how he'd say it. You can hear his voice when you read it, just like you can hear Clinton's voice in reading his autobiography. Style and syntax.

Not that I ever doubted it.

14. Well God just told me that * is a Nut! God just told me that he/she...
...would never talk to that evil bastard. :sarcasm:

Hopefully, he didn't claim to hear the "Voice of God," because that would be a sure sign of Mental Illness (Schizophrenia).

26. You are 40lbs lighter? Or you would be? I had a really bad/good
two years with Ben & Jerry's during this dark 5 year period. I said, "my name is so and so and I'm addicted to Ben & Jerry's" not in any formal serious way, just it was true at the time. Lots and lots of Phish food. I actually have lost about 40 or 50 lbs since I quit eating so much of it.

29. I found cutting out carbonated beverages, not eating late at
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 05:10 PM by texpatriot2004
night and reducing my portion sizes to be the most effective pound droppers. Lately with the stress imposed by this administration economically, spiritually, emotionally, and every other way I go back and forth sort of binging from the stress eating. I don't eat much for a while then have a real sugar binge. I still eat Ben & Jerry's just not a pint every other night or so.

Good luck. And, hey I am not drinking even through this evil and criminal hostile takeover of the country. Wow. Who would have thunk eh?

30. One of my big problems….
I can easily drink a 64 oz of Diet Dr Pepper a night. I have stopped and gone back to ice tea.

You may find these articles interesting. I have done much research on the subject due to many problems I have experienced. I quit 2 jobs because of the office noise level.

Have you done any research on Cortisol and it's affects from stress?

http://www.drlam.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/adrenal_fatigue.cfm

I highly recommend both books if you recognize the problem you are reading about. Identifying the problem is the first step to fixing it. I KNOW I have adrenal Fatigue. I have had it for 3 decades. I'm working on fixing it. Not easy after all this time. When I can afford it I will go to a holistic doctor (ND) in Denver and work on it.

32. "When the President Talks to God" . . . by Bright Eyes . . .
"When The President Talks To God"

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women’s' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

35. This means he is very dangerous.
Psychotics with command hallucinations from God are the most dangerous. And it means he will never leave Iraq. Will be more apt to expand the war to other countries. And the number of deaths simply do not matter to him.
