Can you say "megalomania"?

Word is out that the BBC will air a three-part series on the Middle East in which Bush is said to have instructed Palestinian leaders that he is on a mission from God.

The story has been circulating for several years and dismissed as internet crankery, but now we have this:

Bush's declaration of his divine mission is confirmed on film by both Abbas and Palestinian Foreign Minister Nabil Shaath. In the film, Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm 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.'"
