In his latest Townhall.com column, David Limbaugh articulates my sentiments exactly in response to Chris Matthews’ Wednesday night appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno:<\/p>\n
Leno jump-started Matthews by asking him about New York Times columnist David Brooks’ supposed assertion that President Bush has pursued the war in Iraq because God wills it. “God told him that we should fight this war.”<\/p>\n
We’ve heard this bogus charge before. Matthews dutifully responded, “Well, if he was going to play Joan of Arc, we wouldn’t have elected him. Getting whispers from heaven is scary business. The guys we’re fighting say that, too.” Matthews said Bush needed “a little humility.” Even Abraham Lincoln, Matthews said, didn’t claim to have God on his side in the Civil War.<\/p>\n
While I can’t prove a negative, I am confident Bush never said that God is on our side in this war — though it wouldn’t bother me if he had — or that God directed him to attack Iraq. He has said he continually prays for divine guidance and reads the Bible every day. That is wise, commendable and utterly no different from what Abraham Lincoln and many, probably most presidents in our history did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
