The article says:

She urged students to pray “that our leaders -- that our national leaders -- are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God.”

Read that. Read the actual meaning of what she is saying. It does NOT say anything about the war being a task from God. She says to pray that the leaders are sending them to do good. To pray that they will do the right thing, whatever that may be, because we don't know what God's plan is. Anyone who claims to know that will be laughed at, by atheists and religious people alike.

She did not call the war a task from God. People are completely misunderstanding this quote, or perhaps intentionally manipulating it. (I don't trust journalists, reporters, radio guys, etc., either liberal or conservative)

Anyway, I do not believe she is a religious zealot. People are simply going nuts over a politician expressing her religion, at a religious function, which she has every right to do, just like any citizen of the U.S.
