God told Robertson about Iraq casualties, but not Bush

Post by **Roofus** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 6:22 pm

"Pat Robertson, an ardent Bush supporter, said he had that conversation with the President in Nashville, Tennessee, before the March 2003 invasion... 'I warned him about this war. I had deep misgivings about this war, deep misgivings. And I was trying to say, "Mr. President, you had better prepare the American people for casualties."' Robertson said the President then told him, 'Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties.' Robertson, the televangelist who sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, said he wishes Bush would admit to mistakes made. 'I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy,' Robertson said. 'I warned him about casualties.' More than 1,100 U.S. troops have died in Iraq and another 8,000 troops have been wounded in the ongoing campaign."

If he ever has, there wasn't a live mic nearby.

And, not that I believe that this dude had conversations with God (I'm sure he prays, but I don't think God answers), but he did predict things pretty accurately. In fact, I think a lot of Americans made the same predictions.

A President cannot and will not ever admit to making a mistake about anything regarding the country. It's insaneto ever assume that one would. If Bush were Kerry, in the same situation, do you think he'd admit any wrong doing? Of corse not. Don't be ridiculous. You may not agree with Bush's decisions, but there is no way to prove that they were wrong.

It might as well be a fact that he was wrong about the WMD in Iraq. Of course he was too busy talking about unrelated topics when it came to the WMD.

It wasn't "he" that was wrong, its was the USA and many other countries intelligence agencies. He never talked about any unrelated topics, he stated that the world was a safer place without Sadam, which Kerry agrees with.

There hasn't been a war yet that doesn't have casualties. While sad, very true.

But better soldier dieing for our freedom, the US citizen dying on our soil due to terrorists. Which if I remember right there has been another attack since 9/11, so Bush must be doing something right.

Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: Thank you, dear.
Lisa: By your logic I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Oh, how does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: It's just a stupid rock.
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?

This man also proposed that we fight terrorism by forming a 'Prayer Shield.' He also defended Charles Taylor because he's a Christian.

It obviously worked. We haven't had an attack on our soil since 9/11. Or have you forgotten the sacrifice of those 3,000 god-fearing, flag-waving, apple pie-eating American Heros that died? I guess you're just a hippie pinko nazi. Jesus. Why don't you roast some Jews then equally distribute their possessions among your followers, traitor.

Yeah, Bush has absolutely no responsability for anything that happens in his office, because ALL the data he gets to base his decisions upon are collected by government agencies, research institutes and other people. The job of the president is to make decisions, not to walk around collecting data. If the president is simply not responsible for his decisions then just put a monkey in the office. At least the monkey would be cheaper to maintain.

Bush, did take responsibility. The world is a safer place without Sadam according to Kerry. Kerry had the same information that Bush had when he voted to authorize the war.

If Kerry wins, that is exactly what we will have

he's just about the most unchristian person on the planet. it shocks me that bush talks frequently about having gods backing, and doing things "in gods name" yet the guy has probably been responsible for the deaths of more people than anybody since hitler. his policies go against everything jesus taught about charity, caring, understanding, humility.

That's quite a stretch. I doubt he's even in the top 10.

Perhaps not, but he's still not a very good president, he's not a very good Christian, and he's not a very good person.
