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."
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Politicians will say anything to appease whoever is in the room. They're two-faced and hypocritical, and have no conscience.
It's especially beneficial for Republicans to make those kind of statements in front of ministry types because the Republican party is still, by and large, the espoused Christian party in America. My guess is, she's towing the party line.
Still, highly offensive stuff.
"Offensive"? Try "psychopathic."
You guys should check out the video the story is based on.

I watched it earlier, before I realized there was a story to go with it, and almost did a spit take when she got to the part about the Iraq war.
Beware, though, her voice is very annoying.
From the poetv.com video noted above:
On the $30 billion natural gas pipeline Palin is advocating for--
"I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built. So pray for that."
I had no idea it was God's will to unify people and energy corporations to construct gas pipelines.
That God guy sure works in some mysterious ways...

Doesn't he, though? ;-)
