Stuff I don't understand about Bush's speech

[Undertoad]

Is it dangerous to start a THIRD Palestine thread when people are getting sick of just the two? Awfuggit, I'm going to anyway.

The biggest thing I don't understand is why he ended on a Bible quote. He ended with this:

<i> The choice here is stark and simple, the Bible says, "I have set before you life and death, therefore choose life." The time has arrived for everyone in this conflict to choose peace and hope and life. </i>

Why the biblical ref? Was it...

A) To indicate that his position has a basis in Christianity, because Muslims will be more likely to respect principles that come from a spiritual side

B) To indicate to the Muslims that the US does not come to the conflict as "pro-Jew" and therefore that maybe their role is more sincere than it appears

C) To show Islamist states that even a secular government can have a spiritual basis, making them more supportive of the idea of secular states

D) To incite rulers of Islamist states into even more hard-line positions, ensuring more support for terrorism and the eventual collapse of world support for the Palestinians

E) To tip his cap to his core constituency

F) A sincere gesture of his honest beliefs, along with a firm insistence that frankly stating honest beliefs is a good approach

G) A stupid mistake on the part of a speech writer

I truly do not know the answer to this question...
