God Silences Bush Critics

President Bush and First buddy God appear before soldiers relaxing after their successful capture of Saddam's presidential palace.

President Bush silenced skeptics when he and God appeared to US troops as they lounged in Saddam Hussein's Presidential Palace after a pushover battle.

Troops were relaxing on Hussein's antique Victorian era furniture for a smoke and a quiet celebration of success when they felt a warmth in the room and realized they were being visited by both God and President Bush.

"It was awesome," said Private First Class Ariel Schlemmaker.

Corporal Lance M. Aldead said, "I was relaxing with a smoke, and someone said, 'Holy Shit.' Then God appeared and the President appeared." Aldead added, "Bush made that soldier wash his mouth out with soap right away, let me tell you."

Bush's long association with God dates back to his first appearance to the first son on his ranch in Crawford, Texas many years ago. The young Bush was tending the sheep for his dad when God appeared in a burning bush.

"Burning bush, George Bush.Get it?" Bush told reporters when he first related the story. "He said, 'You will go to the axis of evil and tell Saddam to let his people go.

"I didn't know who he was talking about at the time," Bush added. "I hadn't hired my foreign policy advisors yet." Bush says the appearance occurred during the second month of his Presidential campaign.

"It was the most amazable thing I'd ever seen with my own two eyes," Bush said. "When he first appeared, I said, 'Holy shit!' He didn't get all offensiated or anything, although he did make me wash my mouth out with soap."
