“The Rev. Pat Robertson said President Bush dismissed his warning that the United States would suffer heavy casualties in Iraq and told the television evangelist just before the war that ‘we’re not going to have any casualties.’

Robertson related the conversation during an interview with CNN late Tuesday. He said he spoke to Bush prior to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. While Bush’s response was a mistake, Robertson said, God has blessed the president anyhow.” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
