Need help please re: Bush saying God speaks to him
Does anyone have a link or links to quotes from Bush talking about being on a mission from God regarding the war on "terra"? I know he has said something to that effect on more than one occasion, but I haven't found any concrete quotes yet. (I need this as fuel for an argument I'm making in one of my college classes.)

I'm going to keep looking on my own, but any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! :)

2. He also said it while campaigning in Pennsylvannia to an
assembly of Amish farmers. It shouldn't be that hard to find.

3. As reported in the Mennonite Weekly Review (hardly a 'leftist' source) ...
At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, “I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.”

4. As reported in Haaretz ...
According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
