Bush made the "God told me ..." comment when he met a Palestinian delegation during the Israeli-Palestinian summit, four months after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. He continued "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." The Guardian, October 7, 2005
