Bush says plainly in his quote to Woodward that he's not putting the decision off on God. Unilateral decision in what sense? Most of his advisors were in favor of the war, right or wrong. No matter who those advisors were, only one person gets to make that kind of decision now that Congress has passed the War Powers Act.

Remember the story told about Lincoln? He called the cabinet in on a major issue, explained his thinking and asked them what they thought. To a person they were opposed to his idea. He reminded them that he was President and that it wasn't a matter for a vote, it was his choice alone. He made the decision.

There's also no sense in which Bush used his religion to prevent communication and the comparison to the Taliban is crap as you well know, Amos. Theocracy my ass. Forgive me but it sounds as if you're just playing to the anti-religion crowd with that statement.
