Got this from an email
When 50,000 of our American boys were out in the middle of the Iraqi
desert a few weeks ago a DIVINE WIND blew across the desert for three days followed by a drenching rain.
The Muslim media said it was the worst sand storm in 100 years, and the
Mullahs in 20+ Muslim countries proclaimed that the storm was sent by Allah
when our troops were bogged down and couldn't move.

The left-wing media CNN, CBS, MSNBC &ABC, the New York Times, The
Chicago Tribune/L. A. Times and lots of others trotted out politicians and military
experts that proclaimed we were in a "quagmire" and they all made dire
predictions of gloom and doom.

What they didn't report [all except for Fox News and many smaller regional
and hometown newspapers] was that after the weather cleared, the Marine
group that was mired the worst looked out at the plain they were just about to
cross. What did they see? Thousands upon thousands of antitank and
antipersonnel mines that had been uncovered by the wind and then washed off
by the rain. If they had proceeded as planned, many American lives would
have been lost. As it was, they simply drove around them and let the demolition
teams destroy them.

Yes, it was a DIVINE WIND!

When George Washington was asked if he thought God was on his side, he
replied: "It is not that God should be on our side, but that we be on His."
Maybe the Mullahs should switch sides.

And that was Abraham Lincoln, not George Washinton, IIRC.
