Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Palin: Iraq war is "a task that is from God"

Aladdin Sane · 09-05-2008, 07:05 AM

The AP reports the Palin quote as "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."
This quote starts in Palin's mid-sentence. The AP piece is a hatchet job and is intended to make Gov. Palin a scary religious nut.

Here's Palin's actual quote:

“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” she exhorted the congregants. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God’s plan.”

Even the leftwing Huffington Post has the entire quote in context and the actual video. See the video with the quote in context at Palin's Church May Have Shaped Controversial Worldview. The money part runs from about 5:30 to 6:15.

Let the slime fest begin.
