God told me to invade Iraq, Bush tells Palestinian ministers

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
President Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999/2000 to Israel's withdrawal
from Gaza last August.
