George Bush isn't a Terrorist?

Why is no one mentioning the fact that he claimed God told him to invade Iraq ? Is he not a Christian terrorist who is responsible for a lot of people's deaths?
Along side him Tony Blair.

BUMP!!!!

EDIT: Same goes for Tony Blair.

The fact that you're mentioning it now makes it more than obvious that it's not true that no-one has mentioned this before; he didn't tell you this in person.

Incidentally, there's no hard evidence that he ever said this. It was claimed by a Palestinian minister that Bush said this to him and a few others in a private meeting:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2005/10_october/06/bush.shtml

It hasn't ever been corroborated by anyone else, but it's certainly the kind of thing that makes headlines and gets antiwar people all hot and bothered.

Is he not a Christian terrorist who is responsible for a lot of people's deaths?

If it could be proved that he said it and that this was his primary/only motivation (as opposed to another conspiracy theory like, say, staging the 9/11 attacks to justify an oil grab), and that he set out to kill all the people who died during the invasion and in subsequent abuses by the occupying authorities to this end, sure. That's a tall order, though.

Along side him Tony Blair.
