"A task that is for God"

That's what Sarah Palin called the war in Iraq. Snippets of the Alaska governor's speeches are emerging on YouTube. She's scheduled to address the Republican National convention in St. Paul tonight.

In a speech to her Assembly of God church, Gov. Sarah Palin called the war in Iraq "a task that is from God...There is a plan and that's God's plans."

The talk shows Palin speaking without notes. In addition to having a habit of dropping her "g's" in speaking, the presumptive vice presidential nominee has a casual, anecdotal speaking style.

"You guys are all a bunch of cool-looking Christians," she tells the youth congregation. "People are going to be interested in Jesus because of the way you look."
