Jaded Times

The BBC will air a special on the peace process in Israel starting this Monday which will cover the last decade or so of Israeli/Palestinian politics. In it a source claims that President Bush told him, and the rest of the officials present at the meeting, that God told him to invade Iraq. Though the comments have been disregarded on all sides as metaphoric, the only real casualty is White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan, who was caught in a bold faced lie this past week:

A Palestinian official who said the US president had claimed God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan says he did not take George Bush’s words literally…Scott McClellan said the comments had never been made.

In McClellan’s defense, he didn’t think the other Arab leaders would actually defend the President.
