Let me see.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- WAR ON IRAQ: BRITS TOLD: PRAY FOR THE PRESIDENT MARINES facing battle are being asked to pray for President Bush - and to write to him to tell him of their devotion. Evangelical group In Touch Ministries have sent thousands of pamphlets called A Christian's Duty to Marines serving in the Gulf. The prayer book includes a tear-off section addressed to President Bush at the White House. It reads: "Dear President Bush, I would like you to know that I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. "May God's peace be your guide." The pamphlet gives the troops a new prayer to say every day. Today's is : "Pray that the president and his advisers will seek God and his wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding." Tomorrow's reads: "Pray that the president and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics." The leaflet also includes Bible texts, such as: "Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed..." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to point out in there for me where it says George Bush issued them (your original assertion) or that the USMC "issued" them (your second contention), whether by GW's orders or otherwise. And the headline indicates that it is BRITISH marines to whom Bush ordered the prayer cards issued. It's true! Blair really must be Bush's bitch! My mother used to send me cookies at Christmas, and I used to share them with my shipmates, but none of us ever thought to give Reagan the credit for them. We're having a very enjoyable time wallowing in the election year mud, Raj, but if you don't stop misrepresenting facts from your own sources, why....Kevin might stop taking you seriously. > >Wouldn't it have been much a nicer idea for them to issue the >pamphlets to those back home to pray for the soldiers?! Since they weren't "issued" by the government at all, it seems a moot question. -- Michael Cash "I am sorry, Mr. Cash, but we are unable to accept your rap sheet in lieu of a high school transcript."
