It sounds like hearsay to me. I found the story on BBC News, so it's not a hoax. Even so, I find it... unimpressive, to say the least, that a Palestinian official is telling the media that Bush said God commanded him to create a Palestinian state. No conflict of interest there...

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
