Some of the people in Bush’s cabinet believed in the End of Days Christian prophesy, and this may have influenced his invasion of Iraq and the ambivalence towards Iran and the rest of Islam. It may be, that in order to hasten Armageddon, Bush moved America towards a theocracy to try to fulfill God’s end of days plan, and invaded Iraq to hasten an imminent war with what he believed were Satanic forces in the Middle East.

As part of this effort Donald Rumsfeld covered Iraq briefing papers with biblical texts. See:

Fortunately Bush replaced the most radical of his Christian advisers and replaced them with more rational people, and because of that, we have only antagonized the most radical elements of Islam. These mistakes undoubtedly cost Americans their lives.
Unfortunately the Obama administration is still having to deal with the blow back, and the bad decisions that Bush and his religious radicals made.
Today our military is still using weapons first ordered by the Bush administration, that are inscribed with biblical codes.
Like Abu Graib, and Guantanamo, our Islamic enemies, Al Queda and the Taliban, are able to use these "Jesus weapons" as evidence and as a recruiting tool, to solicit suicide bombers to fight a holy war against those who they believe are fighting another crusade against Islam.
Everyone says that this is Obama’s war now, but he is still having to deal with the consequences of American religious extremists. See: http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/press-releases/2010/abc_sights.html
