Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson predicted global violence and chaos in 2008, along with economic recession in the United States, in annual prognostications broadcast on Wednesday's "700 Club" television program. In what has become an annual tradition, the one-time presidential candidate explained an apparent error in what he thought he heard God telling him in a prayer retreat at the end of 2006. "Last year I felt God was saying there was going to be some kind of terrorist attack that might involve a nuclear weapon," Robertson said. "That hasn't happened, didn't happen in 2007. All I can think is that somehow the people of God prayed, and God in his mercy spared us," Robertson said.Robertson said he didn't "have any revelation" about U.S. future in Iraq. "I had a deep unease about this Iraq war from the very beginning," he said, "that just in my spirit I knew, and the Lord told me, it would be a disaster. Well it has been a disaster." But Robertson said he received a clear word about Israel. "The Lord shared with me, and I believe I heard the Lord, that the leadership of Israel is in a fog." He also implied God told him who will be elected president in 2008, but he's not telling.
