The US troops in Iraq haven't been provided with sufficient weapons, armor, food, water- (nor apparently proper training), but not to worry, they are being shipped planeloads of 'pamphlets'.
Thousands of marines have been given a pamphlet called "A Christian's Duty," a mini prayer book which includes a tear-out section to be mailed to the White House pledging the soldier who sends it in has been praying for Bush.
"I have committed to pray for you, your family, your staff and our troops during this time of uncertainty and tumult. May God's peace be your guide," says the pledge, according to a journalist embedded with coalition forces.
The pamphlet, produced by a group called In Touch Ministries, offers a daily prayer to be made for the US president, a born-again Christian who likes to invoke his God in speeches.
MONDAY: reads "Pray that the President and his advisers will be strong and courageous to do what is right regardless of critics".
TUESDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors have the unified support of the American people as well as of other countries around the world.
WEDNESDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors and their families will be safe, healthy, well-rested, and free from fear. (Well-rested --- give me a break)
THURSDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors will be successful in their mission and that world peace will be realized.
FRIDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors will recognize their divine appointment, and will govern accordingly to compassion, mercy, and truth.
SATURDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors will remember to keep their eyes on the Almighty God and be mindful that He is in control.
SUNDAY: Pray that the President and his advisors will seek God And His wisdom daily and not rely on their own understanding.
