Iraq War: A Biblical Event

According to some French guy, in early 2003 President Bush called President Chirac and said that God wanted him to invade Iraq to defeat Gog and Magog, two Satanic forces mentioned in the Bible.

Holy fuck. I suspected something Biblical (not oil/energy or money) in Bush's Iraq invasion all along. And now a Frenchie interviews (former) president of France Chirac, and the truth comes out.

I wonder why the US mainstream media isn't covering this story? Oh, that's right, it's because they are all shills and puppets for the Christeo-Satanic forces that run our government. How could I have forgotten?

Here is the article:

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

Honest. This isn’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 “common faith” (Christianity) and told him: “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…. The biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…. This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people’s enemies before a New Age begins.”

This bizarre episode occurred while the White House was assembling its “coalition of the willing” to unleash the Iraq invasion. Chirac says he was boggled by Bush’s call and “wondered how someone could be so superficial and fanatical in their beliefs.”

After the 2003 call, the puzzled French leader didn’t comply with Bush’s request. Instead, his staff asked Thomas Romer, a theologian at the University of Lausanne, to analyze the weird appeal. Dr. Romer explained that the Old Testament book of Ezekiel contains two chapters (38 and 39) in which God rages against Gog and Magog, sinister and mysterious forces menacing Israel. Jehovah vows to smite them savagely, to “turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,” and slaughter them ruthlessly. In the New Testament, the mystical book of Revelation envisions Gog and Magog gathering nations for battle, “and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.”

In 2007, Dr. Romer recounted Bush’s strange behavior in Lausanne University’s review, Allez Savoir. A French-language Swiss newspaper, Le Matin Dimanche, printed a sarcastic account titled: “When President George W. Bush Saw the Prophesies of the Bible Coming to Pass.” France’s La Liberte likewise spoofed it under the headline “A Small Scoop on Bush, Chirac, God, Gog and Magog.” But other news media missed the amazing report.

Subsequently, ex-President Chirac confirmed the nutty event in a long interview with French journalist Jean-Claude Maurice, who tells the tale in his new book, Si Vous le Répétez, Je Démentirai (If You Repeat it, I Will Deny), released in March by the publisher Plon.

Oddly, mainstream media are ignoring this alarming revelation that Bush may have been half-cracked when he started his Iraq war. My own paper, The Charleston Gazette in West Virginia, is the only U.S. newspaper to report it so far. Canada’s Toronto Star recounted the story, calling it a “stranger-than-fiction disclosure … which suggests that apocalyptic fervor may have held sway within the walls of the White House.” Fortunately, online commentary sites are spreading the news, filling the press void.

The French revelation jibes with other known aspects of Bush’s renowned evangelical certitude. For example, a few months after his phone call to Chirac, Bush attended a 2003 summit in Egypt. The Palestinian foreign minister later said the American president told him he was “on a mission from God” to defeat Iraq. At that time, the White House called this claim “absurd.”

Recently, GQ magazine revealed that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld attached warlike Bible verses and Iraq battle photos to war reports he hand-delivered to Bush. One declared: “Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.”

It’s awkward to say openly, but now-departed President Bush is a religious crackpot, an ex-drunk of small intellect who “got saved.” He never should have been entrusted with the power to start wars.

For six years, Americans really haven’t known why he launched the unnecessary Iraq attack. Official pretexts turned out to be baseless. Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction after all, and wasn’t in league with terrorists, as the White House alleged. Collapse of his asserted reasons led to speculation about hidden motives: Was the invasion loosed to gain control of Iraq’s oil—or to protect Israel—or to complete Bush’s father’s vendetta against the late dictator Saddam Hussein? Nobody ever found an answer.

Now, added to the other suspicions, comes the goofy possibility that abstruse, supernatural, idiotic, laughable Bible prophecies were a factor. This casts an ominous pall over the needless war that has killed more than four thousand young Americans and cost U.S. taxpayers perhaps $1 trillion.

It's that damn liberal media! ... Oh wait....

You know those really long butane lighters? The kind used to light grills and fireplaces and such? Dubya was too retarded to be entrusted with one of those.

It really doesn't matter what the idiot Prince thought he was up to. The real question is Rumsfeld & Company's actual motives for manipulating the little sawdust-head in this manner. I'm thinking money, oil contracts, money, China, money, and pipelines. Not necessarily in that order. Also, when the US Treasury is siphoned off to fund a war, the money doesn't go into a furnace, now does it?

First, the war is justified based on the fact that within 6 months of signing a ceasefire agreement, Saddam broke the agreement, and repeatedly broke that agreement.

Second, unfortunately, Bush subscribes to a popular, but heretical, view of the escatology, known as Dispensationalism. The "Left Behind" series is a good fictionalized example of a fictional theology.

If this article is accurate, it demonstrates the biggest weakness of the Bush administration, thier horrible lack of communication. Ok, that is the second biggest problem. Bad theology is worse.

Re: Paul C. Quillman,

Thanks for clearing that up, Paul. I'm sure that the million+ dead Iraqi civilians, and the million+ wounded, have already forgiven us after having been informed of the justification of the war based on some piece of paper that some dead tyrant signed somewhere and then reneged on.


I can imagine now seeing all the Iraq war amputee children, once they become adults, sitting in their wheelchairs and waving American flags, celebrating the greatest moment in their lives when they were simultaneously liberated from Saddam AND their limbs.


At the very least, we can rest assured that these kids won't grow up to resent or attack us. Of course, their hearts and minds were won over to our side the moment their lives were forever altered by a 2,000 lb. laser guided bomb.


Likewise, Paul, I'm quite sure that if the situation was flipped, and you lost some limbs because China attacked the US over Barack having violated some piece of paper that he signed, that you would side with China's rationale for invading your homeland. I'm quite sure you would agree that an invasion of your country and the crippling of your person was justified based on such a pretext.
Happy Iraqi kid!
This kid agrees: the war is just!
Thank you America! Sincerely, Iraqi child
