Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God' - Yahoo! News

Quote:

"Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."

A video of the speech was posted at the Wasilla Assembly of God's Web site before finding its way on to other sites on the Internet.

Palin told graduating students of the church's School of Ministry, "What I need to do is strike a deal with you guys." As they preached the love of Jesus throughout Alaska, she said, she'd work to implement God's will from the governor's office, including creating jobs by building a pipeline to bring North Slope natural gas to North American markets.

"God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she said.

"I can do my job there in developing our natural resources and doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded," she added. "But really all of that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God."

Palin attended the evangelical church from the time she was a teenager until 2002, the church said in a statement posted on its Web site. She has continued to attend special conferences and meetings there. Religious conservatives have welcomed her selection as John McCain's running mat

Not that I care what somebody really preaches at their church but I have no doubt that the modern day crusade to put religion in everything from our classrooms to the science labs will not 'change' with Sarah Palin.

Catapult.

But in all honesty, I don't think i can trust one with my military who thinks that wars can possible be commandments from gods. I think that's a rather dangerous proposition.

Yes, she's speaking for god. In my opinion, it's nuttier than a Snickers bar and only half as good. I don't like any politician claiming that they're on a mission from god. Leave that up to these two:
