Mr Shaath said that in a 2003 meeting with Mr Bush, the US president said he was "driven with a mission from God". 

"God would tell me, George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan. And I did, and then God would tell me, George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq... And I did. 

"And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East. And by God I'm gonna do it." 



** Bush God comments 'not literal' **
A Palestinian official says he did not take literally President Bush's alleged words that God told him to invade Iraq.
