Choice Words from Man in Charge of Hunt for Osama-Hussein?

"We're a Christian nation," our "spiritual enemy will only be defeated if we come against them in the name of Jesus."

President Bush "is in the White House because God put him there."

"We in the army of God . . . have been raised for such a time as this."

"I knew my god was bigger than his. I knew that my god was a real god and his was an idol" (Referring to U.S. Army battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia in 1993).

-Lt. Gen. William G. 'Jerry' Boykin, Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, a new Pentagon office focused on hunting al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and other big fish.

Let's see, manifest destiny, absolute republic, bigger god idolatry, conscription for spiritual beings, all in the name of Jesus. All in a day's work with your tax dollars writing the checks; no wonder we haven't caught any fish lately.
