LORD, PLEASE WHISPER HOW TO GET TO 60 IN THE SENATE

'Road map is a life saver for us,' PM Abbas tells Hamas (Ha'aretz, 6/26/2003)

According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."

This seems to me good diplomacy: the Palestinians claim to know Allah's will, why shouldn't Bush claim to know God's? Of course, on the lefty sites it is being taken to mean that Bush hears voices in the air and follows their instructions. Luckily, the voices are canny political strategists.
