Is it still Sept 3rd where you're posting from?
The artical Norton posted might have been from Sept 3rd, but reports were out about this as early as Sept 2, which means the main stream press started posting this at least two days ago.
Palin Asks for Prayers That War Be "Task That Is From God" | The Trail | washingtonpost.com
From the Washington Post - Sept 2:
Quote:
"I can do my part in doing things like working really, really hard to get a natural gas pipeline, a $30 billion dollar project that's going to create a lot of jobs for people in Alaska, and we're going to have a lot of energy flowing through here -- and pray about that also -- I think God's will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built, so pray for that," she told them, "but I can do my job there, in developing our natural resources, and doing things like getting the roads paved, and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms, their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded. But really, all that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God."
Switching to the war in Iraq, Palin told the group of students that they should not only pray for men and women in the military but to make sure the leaders of this country 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 that plan is God's plan."

As I understand it she said this in Church in June, and it was posted on the Church website. So it has been out there for folks to see for months. No reason for anyone to report on it until after McCain picked her.
I don't agree with what was said because I don't believe in god. But it is not uncommon for those that are devout to believe what ever their task/goal that god also believe in the same task/goal. Heck most US sports team pray to god prior to the game thinking that god wants them to win more than the other team. Funny bit is both teams are doing it, and both teams seem to think god really wants them to win more than the other team.
