Gog and Magog

In Genesis and Ezekiel Gog and Magog are forces of the Apocalypse who are prophesied to come out of the north and destroy Israel unless stopped. The Book of Revelation took up the Old Testament prophesy:

"And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them."

Bush believed the time had now come for that battle, telling Chirac:

"This confrontation is willed by God, who wants to use this conflict to erase his people's enemies before a New Age begins".

The murderous narcissism of those malignant dickheads is almost impossible to grasp...but there it is. I'm certain the cable news outlets will program their newscasts around this earth shattering revelation...no?...ah, maybe the NYTimes or the Washington Post, no?...(crickets)
