Palin: Iraq war ‘a task that is from God’

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”

In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it “God’s will.”

As a left leaning independent this is way over the line for me.

Agreed Paul. That is waaaaayyyyy over the line. It even goes beyond pretensions to a theocracy - into the realm of pure unadulterated BS. People who believe that stuff scare me. That said, it isn't against the law to be seriously whacked. ;-)

Extreme-ly out of harmony with most voters' views, too.

It seems like she's just going out of her way to shore up the base.

Wasn't just the fact of her selection going to shore up the base?

I just don't get it.
