I do find it somewhat odd that being religious is such a strike against her for yourself (and others). It would seem to me refreshing that a politician would be dedicated to a set of morals and beliefs that you could rely on them following (or use against them if they don't). This tells you what you are getting before you ever cast your vote and what to expect once they take office.

I NEVER want a leader of anything I am a part of make a choice, and justify it with "because that's the way god would have wanted it".
I feel this would be something she would do.

This is pure silliness. You are plainly advocating that rather than judge an idea on its merits you will blindly dismiss it purely for its source.
This is the definition of an obtuse worldview.

It’s not a world view opinion, it’s a Sarah Palin opinion. Let’s say Obama woke up in the middle of the night and wondered to the kitchen to get a cookie. When he entered the kitchen, god appeared before him and told him to attack Iran. That he wanted to save Israel, and he had chosen Obama as the instrument to do such a thing.
If that happened to Obama, he would seek medical attention. If it happened to Palin, she would attack a nation.
My opinion and why I don’t want her as my leader.

Is this the quote in question? "Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's will."
My initial understanding of this quote would seem to suggest that she was rather suggesting that we not proceed without a headnod from God, as it were, which is rather opposite of what you fear. What's more, I think what she was more hinting at is that we were to ensure that that this war was good and just (at least, within my own Christian experiences, that's often an implication).
Also, I doubt Congress would go along with the president in an act of war should such a situation arise, nor do I know if Palin is one to go around insisting others believe her own prophetic messages (certainly, the Bible demands rather rigorous tests for such people), and if she could not provide any evidence of it, perhaps (if she's clear thinking), she would not proclaim it.
