Can this possibly be true???? Utter madness . .

A French Revelation, or The Burning Bush
JAMES A. HAUGHT

Incredibly, President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to thwart Gog and Magog, the Bibleâ€™s satanic agents of the Apocalypse.

Honest. This isnâ€™t a joke. The president of the United States, in a top-secret phone call to a major European ally, asked for French troops to join American soldiers in attacking Iraq as a mission from God.

Now out of office, Chirac recounts that the American leader appealed to their â€œcommon faithâ€

Could this be part of the reason that so many died. If so . . . this is sad and on some level worse than Pat Robertson's opinion about Haiti.

did you check authenticity..this seems to border on the pluto/goofy assessment above.

I am hopeful that it is not true.

do you suppose gog and magog could be code words for bin laden and al qeuda?

Well, since neither of those two had anything to do with Iraq before gulf war II, I would guess not.

Why would Pres. Bush show his hand, even if he thought this to be true? Did Chirac confirm this? I think at best this was something "lost in translation"....

Chirac dropped this bomb in an interview apparently. Chirac was the apparent source.
There are tons of info on the web about it.

"There are tons of info on the web about it." - Caribe

I'd call it malicious rumor, not info. Most likely it's pure BS. After all Bush was so PC that he insisted on referring to the struggle against Islamic Extremists as "The War on Terror". Absolutely no chance he'd be talking about Gog & Magog and such shit, even if he believed it.
