Libby Indicted as Bush Talks War on Terror and Kerry Comes Out Punching
The war on terrorism is not a tool for distraction.
John Kerry comes out punching today:
"Rather than learn from the scandal engulfing a White House that endangered a CIA agent to attack an Administration critic, the President again today attacked Americans who ask tough questions of his failed policies. Rather than play politics with our national security to take the focus off indictments, the Administration needs to put its focus on destroying Al Qaeda and cleaning up the mess they created in Iraq."

Bush: God Told Me to Invade Iraq
The BBC reports that President Bush claims God advised him to invade Iraq. Bush's admission apparently occurred during the president's first meeting with Palestinian Prime Minister Abu Mazen and Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath 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.'"
What a coincidence!
I just bumped into a guy the other day talking to God in Lafayette Park outside the White House. He was wearing a tin foil hat to protect himself from the other voices trying to interrupt and tell him to invade Antarctica.
The account of Bush's talks with God appears in the three-part series on BBC TWO, In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October).
