I don’t know much (anything?) about California Republican Rep. John Doolittle (and the source is clearly unfriendly), but these comments attributed to him on the Iraq war are not altogether reassuring:
The conflict, he said, “leads to what the Bible ultimately says”: Armageddon will take place in the Middle East. The Bible mentions the Euphrates River in Iraq as the place of prelude to the final battle of Armageddon that will bring about the world’s end.
Blimey.
