Abbas: reports of Bush saying God told him to attack Iraq "completely false"

Another liberal media lie exposed:

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has denied an account by another Palestinian official of a meeting with US President George Bush in which Bush is cited as saying he believed that God told him to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

A statement in Abbas's name released by his office said an excerpt from an interview with Palestinian Information Minister Nabil Shaath due to be broadcast by the BBC in which Shaath described a meeting with Bush in June 2003 gave a "completely false" account.

Don't expect any corrections or apologies from the media, the Democratic Underground, and left-wing bloggers like DailyDean and Canada's Biggest Liar^TM.

UPDATE: Right on cueCanada's Biggest Liar^TM defends his unquestioning, dogmatic belief that President Bush said this by reaching into his nether regions and pulling out this alleged Bush quote:

"I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job."

The problem is that this alleged quote comes from a private meeting President Bush had with an Amish group in 2004. No reporters were present at the meeting and the quote cannot be verified. Does that stop CC and other people suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome from believing the quote to be completely verified truth? Of course not. And, of course, their belief that the alleged quote is true means that this most recent quote is absolutely true, too. Nice non sequitir.

And just to complete the record, here's another "Bush says God told him to do it" quote that the left likes to trot out as true, even though it has never been verified, either:

"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
