George Bush got memos from Rumsfeld that used Scripture to push Iraq war

Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld sent President George Bush top secret wartime memos with cover sheets that mixed Scripture and battle photos to cast the Iraq invasion as a holy Christian crusade.
Rumsfeld, not a man who wore religion on his sleeve, appeared to be trying to manipulate - or curry favor with - the Bible-quoting Bush, according to an explosive story in GQ.
Some Pentagon analysts worried that if the memo covers leaked, they would inflame the Islamic world, undercut Washington's Arab allies and bolster those who claimed America was out to Christianize the Muslim world.
One official was so disturbed he kept the report covers and recently gave them to GQ writer Robert Draper, a leading chronicler of the Bush administration.
"Commit to the LORD, whatever you do, and your plans will succeed - Proverbs 16:3," appeared on a April 1, 2003 report over a photo of a U.S. soldier near a highway sign pointing to Baghdad. The next day, U.S. forces reached the Iraqi capital.
"I am W and I was aWesome . . . Rummy said."
"Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps the faith - Isaiah 26:2," appeared on a April 3, 2003 memo over a photo of a U.S. tank entering Baghdad.
Four months later, during a summit in Egypt, the Palestinian foreign minister said Bush told him he was on "a mission from God" and was getting commands directly from the Lord. The White House at the time dismissed the claim as "absurd."
The damning GQ article, based on interviews with Bush insiders clearly eager to trash Rumsfeld, paints the former Pentagon chief as a control-freak who sacrificed policy to his power games.

What??? Someone (Donald Rumsfeld in this instance) used Bible verse for nefarious, (war-like) disingenuous reasons??? (Other wars: also there: Bible verse used against women and children too: Obey your husband woman or else? Anyone?Spare that rod? Anyone?)
Color me Biblically surpris-ed . . . Everyone knows Rummy worships at the altar of No-Known-Knowns. Boring! Those lines about "no known knowns" were used as a cover to cover up the fact that the Donald was a bumbling conniver -- a jack-ass fumbler that dithered and laughed while REAL people bled. Un-feeling connivers never think about that. Selfish fascists. No love there. Haters all around the table if you ask me.

Now. Back to Susan Boyle. She has a cat named "Pebbles"? 'Nuff said.
"Pebbles"
Everyone knows the kitties in our lives rule our lives, and always show us the wise-way to go about our lives. We learn from the kitty. Kitty rules rule.
My darlin' little kitty called "Bubbie" shows me the wise-way of living life every single day. For example: She loves the Friskie. Chooses friskie over sardine any day and every day. Opts for the friskie before the chickie any time, every time. What is this teaching-moment of Bubbie's wise- way?
Answer:Kitty Crack and Catty Shack Love: Buy it now! Save yourself some time. All Bubbie wants, or for that matter, what little Pebbles wants is our love. They too dream the dreams they hope will never die . . . Oh sigh, I cry for love . . . Sigh for the love that should never die!
And one dares to ask why Susan Boyle makes us cry? Save yourself some time -- ask the kitty (and always be wary of those knowing-known men known as "Donald").
