Yes. W actually believes he has a direct line to God.

Do you not find this a tad alarming?

Do you have an attribution for that quote? I've not seen it before.

Date and publication, please.

You are stupid enough to believe this report?

The whole key is the line saying, "According to Abbas, Bush said"... and
then the quote. Sounds like hearsay, and I would not trust Abbas as far as
I could throw him.

It's certainly consistent with several other things he's said.

"I believe God has called us into action."

http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/Bush_in_Africa/0,,2-7-1505_1386439,00.html

"'I feel like God wants me to run for President"
"“I’ve heard the call. I believe God wants me to be president.”

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5819171/

"Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time"
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-04-01-bush-cover_x.htm

You're joking, right?

You're quoting a report about Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas as a
source for George Bush's supposed quote?

For anyone who did not go to the source, the quote is from Palestinian
PM Abbas, who claims it is what W. told him in private. John, you really
should be ashamed of yourself for posting this as if it was a direct quote
from President Bush. It is not.

A "tad alarming" is the understatement of the century.
Do you happen to know if it was the same God that told him to lie to us?
