Bible Quotes Color US Iraq War Reports
CAIRO -- Cover sheets for Iraq war intelligence reports written for Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and presented to the White House were adorned with biblical quotations, according to pictures posted by the GQ magazine on its website.
"The sheets juxtaposed war images with inspirational Biblical Quotes and were delivered by Rumsfeld himself to the White House," the magazine said.
It showed eleven covers of the "Worldwide Intelligence Update" mixing Crusades-like messaging with war imagery.
One showed soldiers praying with their machineguns under the quote: "Whom Shall I send, and who will go for us." Under the soldiers' picture is a second quote: "Here I'm Lord, Send Me."
Another cover shows a US aircraft carrier with the quote: "If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me; your right hand will hold me fast, O LORD."
A third cover shows a US tank roared through the desert beneath the quote: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
A cover with a picture of a US soldier in full arms and behind him a road sign a road sign pointing the direction of Baghdad and Hilla cities has a quote: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
Another cover with three different pictures of troops also with a road sign pointing the direction of Baghdad and Hilla cities has a quote: "Have not I commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
