Bush seems to believe in some kind of phantasmal effect...
"I love the fact that people pray for me and my family all around the country. Somebody asked me one time, how do you know? I said I just feel it."

'According to Abbas, immediately thereafter Bush said: "God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."'
