President George W. Bush told Palestinian ministers that God had told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq - and create a Palestinian State, a new BBC series reveals.

In Elusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, a major three-part series on BBC TWO (at 9.00pm on Monday 10, Monday 17 and Monday 24 October), Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

Abu Mazen was at the same meeting and recounts how President Bush told him: "I have a moral and religious obligation. So I will get you a Palestinian state."

The series charts the attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, from Bill Clinton's peace talks in 1999/2000 to Israel's withdrawal from Gaza last August.

Norma Percy, series producer of The 50 Years War (1998) returns, with producers Mark Anderson and Dan Edge, to tell the inside story of another seven years of crisis.

Presidents and Prime Ministers, their generals and ministers tell what happened behind closed doors as peace talks failed and the intifada exploded.

Somehow I knew it was going to come down to this. Would somebody PLEASE GET THIS [censored] LOONEY OUT OF THE WHITEHOUSE?!?!?!

I was a Bush Supporter. On several issues I still support him. When I read articles like the one above, I get worried. I get worried I have been blinded and have been supporting a madman. I get worried I have been a victim of top level spin. Then I think of the alternative choice for president. Then I get relaxed and understand that as crazy as this president is at times, its better then what we almost got.

Well I couldn't see this coming.
*drowns in own sarcasm*

My mate said something that was harsh but does bring up a point: "I dont know whats worse, the fact that they have an Idiot in the White House or the fact that a million Idiots voted him back in"
