Heaven Sent – Does God endorse George Bush? By Steven Waldman
Gen. William “Jerry” Boykin, who got in trouble for derogatory comments about Islam, argued that it must have been God who selected Bush, since a plurality of voters hadn’t. “Why is this man in the White House? The majority of America did not vote for him. He’s in the White House because God put him there for a time such as this.”
Earlier, Boykin had said regarding a Muslim warlord:
I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol.

I guess no one clued him in that the Abrahamic religions actually all worship the same “god”.
Update, 2004-10-26: “[A]ppropriate action” was taken against Boykin, based on the recommendations of the Pentagon Inspector General (Aug. 2004 report), but it was apparently not significant: “If it was something significant, it would be something we would talk about. So that should give you an indication.”
