Onward Christian Soldier

During the lead up to and during the invasion of Iraq, the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, prepared a daily intelligence security briefing for the President. No surprise there. What should be surprising, but really isn't, was the format of the cover of these briefings.

Each day they would picture highlights of the previous day's action and a huge, bold, quote from the Bible. Here's GQ's slide show.

Let alone the ridiculous comingling of church and state by endorsing a particular religion on government documents, how rock stupid is this when we were invading a Muslim country? Had these covers been exposed a few years ago, how much damage would this suggestion of a "Christian Crusade in the Middle East" have caused us in the world?

Read the whole sordid story of Rumsfeld in GQ. The stupidity boggles the mind.
