Robertson’s Ties To The White House

5:08 pm EST August 24th, 2005 | Politics | 1 Comment

The conservative movement is working hard to deny that Pat Robertson wields any influence or has any ties to the Bush White House or the GOP in general, but this is a lie.

Or do all of us get personal audiences with the President on the eve of war?

Robertson, an ardent Bush supporter, told CNN in an interview Tuesday night that he urged the president to prepare the American people for the prospect of casualties before launching the war in March 2003.

Robertson said Bush told him, ” ‘Oh, no, we’re not going to have any casualties.’ ”

More than 1,100 American troops have been killed in Iraq since the invasion, most of them battling an insurgency that followed the overthrow of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
