God Speaks Through Me

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 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.
