VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia (AP) -- Evangelical broadcaster Pat Robertson said Tuesday that God has told him that a terrorist attack on the United States would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007.

"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be nuclear," he said during his news-and-talk television show "The 700 Club" on the Christian Broadcasting Network.

"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe it will be something like that."

Robertson said God told him about the impending tragedy during a recent prayer retreat.

God also said, he claims, that major cities and possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack, which should take place sometime after September.

Robertson suggested in January 2006 that God punished then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon with a stroke for ceding Israeli-controlled land to the Palestinians.

The broadcaster predicted in January 2004 that President Bush would easily win re-election.

Bush won 51 percent of the vote that fall, beating Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would have victory after victory in his second term. He said Social Security reform proposals would be approved and Bush would nominate conservative judges to federal courts.

Lawmakers confirmed Bush's 2005 nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. But the president's Social Security initiative was stalled.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

In May, Robertson said God told him that storms and possibly a tsunami were to crash into America's coastline in 2006.

Even though the U.S. was not hit with a tsunami, Robertson on Tuesday cited last spring's heavy rains and flooding in New England as partly fulfilling the prediction.

He perverses the very teachings he insists to be upholding. Hell is too good for him.

"I have a relatively good track record," he said. "Sometimes I miss."

The thing, though, is that if you're talking to God, wouldn't he be a lot more accurate?

If anyone else was making this crap up, they'd be sent to the loony bin. But people actually believe this psycho, and what's worse, they keep giving him money. For about 20 years, my uncle used to take care of this elderly woman whose husband died a long time before and didn't have any children or living relatives, and she put in her will to give him her inheritance (which was quite a bit, almost 90K), but when she died, we found out that she had changed the will a few weeks before and had given all the money to Pat Robertson and the 700 Club! All my uncle got was a toaster oven.

What?!? The floods that hit New England last year were nowhere near a tsunami! They lasted a little less than 2 weeks! I don't consider that major when compared to the hurricanes that hit Florida and the Gulf Coast a few years ago.

What a tool. He'll be vindicated if something does happen -- you know, like those turds who ran around saying that 9/11 was "God's attack on gays and liberals" because, dontcha know, NYC is filled with 'em.

And if there IS no attack on the US, his words will be forgotten because by this time next year, people will be nursing a hangover from New Year's Eve. So it's a win-win situation for him to stir up fear among his followers. Loon.

It's Pat Robertson and other dipsh!ts like him that gives Christianity a bad name. They're not spreading God's word, their twisting it to rationalize their agenda of hate and wrath.

ICAM! He is a fool, plain and simple. He is just trying to stir up trouble and scare people.

David Letterman is talking about him now.

First of all....Pat Robertson gives Southern Baptist's a bad name. As a Southern Baptist myself, I don't believe in most of his teachings.

In recent years, Robertson has become a very controversial figure. On August 22, 2005 he said that the USA should kill Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. And on November 10, 2005 he told the citizens of Dover, Pennsylvania on the The 700 Club that since they had voted out of office all seven members of the school board who supported intelligent design, that God would NOT help them if they ever had a disaster in their area. Those are only two in a long list of controversy surrounding the man.
