Does Right-winged Pat Robertson have a hidden agenda?
Has the October surprise been dished out by the hands of Pat Robertson?
Robertson, an ardent Bush supporter, told CNN in an interview Tuesday night that he urged the president to prepare the American people for the prospect of casualties before launching the war in March 2003.
Robertson said Bush told him, " 'Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties.' "
Do you think Bush really said this? Why would he have sent our military in with chemical warfare protection, initiated the conflict with shock and awe, and asked the American people on the eve of war to pray for the safety of our troops if he didn't think their would be a chance of casualties.
Pat Robinson has a hidden agenda. And he's name dropping the Lord to see it come to fruition.
"I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy," Robertson said. "I warned him about casualties."
Did God specifically tell him this, or is this a normal gut feeling that everyone had knowing the history of Saddam Hussein's barbaric ways of warfare and killing innocent people?
I believe time will tell why Pat Robertson got on CNN a few weeks before the election and dropped this choice-cut steak in the mouths of the media while sitting at the table of public debate.
I'm smelling a new book coming out and he needs some easy press.
No matter what the case, he was totally out of line as a "Christian leader" to air these statements on national television.
Do I think it's wrong because it may hurt Bush? Not really. I have other reasons...
I believe Pat Robertson is playing the biggest game of "I told you so" that we've ever seen. If he truly feels this way about the President of the United States, and truly heard the president make those comments, and truly heard the clear voice of God on this matter...then he should privately discuss the matter with Bush, and leave it be.
Out of respect and loyalty to a friend, as well as his authority, Robertson should never have made this a public matter. It was disrespectful, dishonoring, and disloyal--characteristics no Christian should have toward leadership.
I believe Pat Robertson, as founder of the Christian Coalition, should lead by example in the area of respecting leadership, and dealing with matters in an honorable way.
There is no doubt that if this conversation that occurred in 2003 is still eating at Robertson's spirit, then he should act upon in in a private manner. Throwing it into the public domain weeks before the election is clear evidence that Robertson needed a little national attention.
There has to be a reason he appeared on CNN and made these comments....time will tell.
Book deal....that's my call.
let the truth B told
