So... is anyone else uneasy about the world's biggest nuclear power being run by a man who can now safely and without any doubt be described as mentally ill/retarded?
Would any of those who still claim Dubya is actually of some intelligence and that he's just being misinterpreted by the media and public care to comment about such statement?

I have a mental image of you frothing at the mouth while typing that.
don't think that's the point
Many people pray to help them make choices in life, its not that wierd.
And anyway, you are giving him way too much credit, do you really think he came up with the Iraq plan himself?
Allah? Literally "The God." There is no plural, masculine or feminine forms of this word in Arabic. This denotes the One True God, the Almighty Creator, Who is neither male nor female.
The most fundamental belief that a Muslim has is that "There is only One God," the Creator, the Sustainer -- known in the Arabic language and by Muslims as Allah. Allah is not a foreign god, nor an idol. Arabic-speaking Christians use the same word for the Almighty.
Yes, do you know that it happened? Why do you automatically believe the report?
It certainly doesnt make them mentally retarded, as your insulting and offensive comment said.
But as I said, thats not that uncommon or as wierd as you seem to think.
And of course you are assuming that he makes the choices himself, do you really think the whole Iraq plan was him? Dont you always say he's really stupid?
Dubya is profoundly stupid in the sense that he allows himself to be controlled like a puppet and brainwashed to the point where he probably genuinely believes he came up with the policies in the first place and/or was 'inspired' if not plain dictated his plans by the Almighty Himself.
He also shows a total lack of control and direction over his own Presidency, as the appalling shambles that was the aftermath of Katrina proved.
In all, a very unintelligent man.
Theres a cartoon in the Independent I think with George on the phone saying
"Lord you sound just like Dick Cheney"
Anyone who claims God is directly talking to them and giving them specific instructions is either lying or has some kind of mental illness.
End of.
I would take their word for it over Nabil Shaath. (Wow Clandestine, Nabil Shaath says it happened so it must have!)
Unless they are a prophet, but I suspect a prophetic person would be nice and not lead to the killing / displacement / etc. of thousands of people. *shrugs*
There might be a lot of people who talk to god and ask him for his guidance, but there aren't many who say 'i was told by god to do this' as in specific tasks.
Astute minds will recognise the considerable disparity in political capital at risk of being compromised between the admission (and reluctant one at that) of a former foreign minister and denials made by the PR mouthpieces of an incumbent US President.
The weight of legitimacy, like it or not, falls on the side of the claim having been made.
You have a penchant for making assumptions Clandestine. At no time have I said that I don't believe that GWB has said such a thing.
I have, however, just pointed out that the account is open to question. Isn't it you who says that we should question what we are told. Sadly you have again proven that you do not apply your own advice when it comes to criticism of the current US regime.
is this related to any specific story, or are you just having a rant?
Once again, the weight of documented claims made to date by this President, coupled with the lack of any real political benefit to be gained by Mr. Shaath's admission, are more than sufficient testimony to the veracity of the report.
The point about other reports was made simply to illustrate the absence of any such suggestions from you towards those who comment on any number of sensationalist articles of the day posted in these forums.
And, as I have said many many people pray when they are having trouble making a tough choice and think it helps them make it. Is that nuts?
This thread does seem unpleasantly bigoted though.
It seems bigoted against anyone who isnt a confirmed atheist.
