"the Lord told me (the Iraq war) was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy,"

Edited on Mon Sep-03-07 11:11 PM by kansasblue

In his CNN interview, the religious leader (Pat Robertson) described Bush on the eve of the invasion as "the most self-assured man I've ever met in my life.

"And 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.' "

He said that's when the president told him he did not expect casualties from the invasion.

"I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy," Robertson said. "I warned him about casualties."

1. Hey Pat, has the Lord told you that you are an idiot?

2. I remember this in the campaign, and the WH pretty much said that

the chimp didn't say this. In other words, God spoke to the Chimp, but not to Pat.

So there, Pat! God prefers the chimp.

3. Isn't it odd

how all these nuts rant about God telling them what's going on. Why doesn't he tell them the truth. THEY ARE, all as crazy as loons.

4. Pat should have arranged a conference call between himself, the Lord, and Chimpy, then.

Too late now to pass on the message, Pat!

5. What's with this line from the article

"More than 1,100 American troops have been killed in Iraq since the invasion, most of them battling an insurgency that followed the overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein."

1100??? I suppose 3800 is more than 1100. Do they think we are stupid or are they just lazy with the facts.

Why didn't you report him to the nation as insane?
