US officials warned President George W. Bush thought he ‘was on a mission from God’ in Iraq, UK documents reveal
[IsraelTimes] Newly released UK government files reveal that a senior US official warned his British counterparts that US president George W. Bush thought he was "on a mission from God" during the second Iraq war.
Armitage said that Bush initially "wanted to kick ass" with US Marines taking the entire city. But after being warned that such a move could bring down the Iraqi government, ’Bush backed off," Manning wrote. "Rich [Armitage] summed it all up by saying that Bush still thought he was on some sort of a mission from God, but that recent events had made him ’rather more sober,’" the report says. Armitage reportedly asked Manning to have UK prime minister Tony Blair exert a moderating influence on Bush.
