Yeah, I feel really safe knowing that this book review appears in today's New York Times, readable by anyone in the world with Internet access:

...the Schweizers quote one unnamed relative as saying that George W. Bush sees the war on terrorism "as a religious war": "He doesn't have a p.c. view of this war. His view of this is that they are trying to kill the Christians. And we the Christians will strike back with more force and more ferocity than they will ever know."

And there isn't even the possibility that this is a quote tweaked by a Bush enemy to make him look bad: The Schweizers are Peter and Rochelle Schweizer; Michiko Kakutani, the reviewer, notes that Peter Schweizer is "a fellow at the Hoover Institution and the author of a hagiographic book about Ronald Reagan and the cold war."
