No one said religious people love war. You know that. What was said was that when someone wants to justify a war or feels it is justified, this fellow will claim support from God. WHen he talks of how his life is based upon his religion, that is the other side of his coin.
You know, we are at war. We are at war with crazed thiests who think that God is on their side. It would be favorable to fight them with equal conviction. If that means having someone at the head who is equally a religious zelot, fighting fire with fire is favorable to being passive and hoping they will apreeciate our kind nature. That did not work. That is what has gotten us into our mess in the first place. On the other hand, the troop increase has lead to the most peaceful and stable month we have had in Iraq in 4 years.

You are too busy trying to cram everyone into stereotypes you can't consider someone disagreeing with you. AS you are well aware, I never labelled all Baptists, all Christians, or all neocons anything. I labelled Mike Huckabee, and I label Bush. Further inferences are in your head.
OK. But my point is that he does not seem to be that kind of a guy from what I have seen of him so far. I have to wonder if you are not looking. But on the other hand, maybe you have seen something that I have yet to find.
Bush -- as unbelievable as it might seem -- did not want to go to war.
Thanks Bill, that is the funniest thing I've heard in a month. W was planning this war from day 1. It just didn't work out like he planned.
That is something I have heard from time to time. Where did you hear this? Can you cite your sources?
If it is true, why did he say he agonized about the invasion. Was that a lie?
