Bush did not expect Iraq casualties: Pat Robertson
WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (AFP) - A leading evangelical Christian supporter of George W. Bush said Wednesday the president told him before the invasion of Iraq last year that he expected no casualties in the war.
The comments to CNN by Pat Robertson sparked an immediate reaction from the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, which challenged Bush to come clean or call the popular television preacher a liar.

" I just think God's blessing is on him. And you remember, I think the Chinese used to say, you know, it's the blessing of heaven on the emperor. And I think the blessing of heaven is on Bush. It's just the way it is."
Can anybody find before the war began or during its beginning days where Pat Robertson had any misgivings to this war? It sounds more like the rats leaving a sinking ship.
Look, it's not like anyone of any value was lost in the war. Your average American soldier is a loser that has no chance of making it in business. The only value his life has is to die for a good cause. As for the Iraqis, they're not even worth mentioning.
