Gov. Sarah Palin is on record saying that "the War in Iraq is a task sent from God." Does this mean that God?

Question

will help with the cost of funding the war? A few billion here and a few billion there, and good lord, we are talking serious money.

Answer 1

Good point.

I reckon we could just give up and let Al Quaida have the U.S.

That should cut costs.

Answer 2

isn't that called a Crusade?

Answer 3

How does she know what God's intentions are??

Answer 4

For me, her statement about the war in Iraq being a task from God is no different from jihadists who feel it is their holy mission to destroy the western world and Americans.  

Statements such as Palins are only further turning the war in Iraq into a holy war.  

Answer 5

no the middle class will get stuck paying for the war and why should they care (republicans) they dont have to pay for nothing in life!

Answer 6

I did not hear her say that.  When was it that she said that?  Reason why I ask, she, just like all people AND especially politicians can and do change their minds.  For example, I was for the war in Iraq at first, now I wish we never went to war in Iraq.

So if she did say that, it is possible she prayed and feels this was what God wanted.  However, she could be wrong.  Dunno Chief, I just don't know.  I need more info to give a good answer.
