If you ask anyone in the middle east what the Israeli Palestinian conflict is about, they will not tell you religion.  This is a conflict, as all other middle east conflicts have been since the dawn of time, about land and resources first and foremost.  Even the Crusades boiled down to a simple land war in Asia fought for economic superiority.  This could all change if Sarah Palin ever gets to be in charge.

That’s right folks.  According to Sarah Palin the Army in Iraq is on a mission from God.  I bet that really tickles Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and Carl Rove.  Of course they would all be very disappointed to know she means Jehovah, and doesn’t think any of that triumvirate is the deity in question.  She wants us to fight these people because it is ordained by GOD, the same god these people believe in and claim to follow.  This is the sort of insanity that breeds terrorists.

Below is the whole speech, or at least the first seven minutes of it.  She talks about the army’s mission from god and her son Track who is about to be deployed in this crusade at about minute three.

If you want the Iraq War to end, then don’t elect Angry Old White Guy and Caribou Barbie who will turn a war for oil into a Holy Crusade.
