BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "White House denies Bush claimed divine inspiration
Oct 07 9:14 AM US/Eastern
The White House has denied that US President George W. Bush said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, as a new BBC documentary is expected to reveal.
'That's absurd. He's never made such comments,' White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Thursday.
The documentary series set to be broadcast later this month in Britain claims Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas and then-foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003.
He also told them he had been ordered by God to create a Palestinian state, the ministers said.
Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said: '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. "
