President George W. Bush told Palestinian ministers that God had told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq - and create a Palestinian State, a new BBC series reveals.

In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, a major three-part series on BBC TWO (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October), Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

Abu Mazen was at the same meeting and recounts how President Bush told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state."

The series charts the attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, from Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999/2000 to Israel's withdrawal from Gaza last August.

Norma Percy, series producer of The 50 Years War (1998) returns, with producers Mark Anderson and Dan Edge, to tell the inside story of another seven years of crisis.

Presidents and Prime Ministers, their generals and ministers tell what happened behind closed doors as peace talks failed and the intifada exploded.

Scary.. What if god told him to press the red button?

MorganGrayson · 10-06-2005

In order to continue with any sort of normal function today, it is necessary for me to believe that the President of the United States never said that.

The unmedicated bag lady on the corner who mumbles a lot told me that God told her I could do that. I believe her.

Dravyk · 10-06-2005

God told me Congress needs to have a recall election fast.

He also told me there's a chance in hell of that happening.

Jake: First you trade the Cadillac for a microphone. Then you lie to me about the band. Now you're gonna put me right back in the joint.
Elwood: They're not gonna catch us. We're on a mission from God.

And we know how well those first two missions are working out. The Palestinian Prime Minister should learn the phrase, thanks, but no thanks.

Now I wonder if maybe Nancy Reagan and her astrologer wasn't such a bad thing.

(edit for spelling)

Bhelliom · 10-06-2005

oh... my ... god....

I knew he was insane... I called it years ago

Dravyk · 10-06-2005

It's all Chang's fault.

Trev · 10-06-2005

Who's the fucking extremist now

Bhelliom · 10-06-2005

Correct me if i'm wrong.... but isn't he fighting AGAINST religious extremists?

or has the leader of the free world really just admitted to being driven by religious fervor to fight against those of another religion....

Has this whole thing just changed into a modern day crusades?

I don't mind him having personal religious beliefs.... but when you claim to hear god speaking to you a la Moses.... someone should really explain to him the meaning of the term "separation of chuch and state"

PornoDoggy · 10-06-2005

Scary. Very fucking scary.

sarettah · 10-06-2005

And then God told me to give all the oil in Iraq to my old friends and I did.

hehehe

and then God told me to tell Brownie that he did a heck of a job and I did.

hehehe

and then God told me to fire Brownies ass and I did.

hehehe

and the God asked me how it felt to be made a total fool of by God

sarettah · 10-06-2005

In the words of the late, great Sam Kinison (on Saturday night VERY LIVE):

"I don't know about anyone else but as far as I know the last words God said (bends down, takes off shoe and starts using it as if it is a hammer striking nails) were AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

God and Jezuz were different, but the same, and both were haunted by the holy ghost.

I had a friend in high school who was encouraged to switch to public schools after turning in an essay comparing the holy trilogy to a multiple personality. You'da thunk Jesuits would have had more of a sense of humor ...

He's now denying it..
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4317498.stm

The White House has dismissed as "absurd" allegations made in a BBC TV series that President Bush claimed God told him to invade Iraq.
"He's never made such comments," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

The comments were attributed to Mr Bush by the Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath in the upcoming TV series Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs.

Mr Shaath said that in a 2003 meeting with Mr Bush, the US president said he was "driven with a mission from God".

Holy war?

"President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... And I did.

"'And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, who attended the meeting in June 2003 too, also appears on the documentary series to recount how Mr Bush told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state."

The TV series charts recent attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, from former US President Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999-2000 to Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip this year.

It seeks to uncover what happened behind closed doors by speaking to presidents and prime ministers, along with their generals and ministers.
