Michele Bachmann Predicts 'World War III'; Jan Markell Foresees 'Nuclear Apocalypse' | Right Wing Watch

The former Minnesota congresswoman also recounted how she personally urged President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bomb Iran as “one of the greatest acts of peace” rather than pursue negotiations. The nuclear deal, Bachmann said, “ensures World War III,” adding that Obama is “doing everything in his power to put weapons of mass destruction — the most lethal known to man — in the hands of Israel’s greatest enemy, Iran.”

Markell then proceeded to read the words of Christian Zionist activist Jim Hutchens: “What has not been noted is the fact that our narcissistic, self-absorbed president has prematurely achieved his demonic obsession for a legacy. He will be known throughout eternity as the one who jump-started the process that produced the largest and most destructive nuclear holocaust of humanity, the slaughter of a third of mankind, over two and a third billion people. Read Revelations 6:13-19.”

 Rachel Ford breaks down what these two foreign policy twits were saying.

Unfortunately, that’s one of the least terrifying things the two shared with listeners. (And I’m not even talking about Bachmann’s boast that she personally encouraged President Obama to bomb Iran, or her lengthy explanation about why we should be bombing for peace.) Compare that to the conviction with which they see Biblical prophecy, as they interpret it, as informing current political happenings and the certainty that dropping bombs is exactly what we should be doing. Because God.

It’s kind of funny how the strong right arm of a holy God, the leader of heaven’s armies, needs Christians and AIPAC to work in concert on this. If the goal is to “prove to the world his power and his strength,” relying on human political activists (you know, the people who generally tend to effect political change) seems to defeat the purpose.

At any rate, if, for some reason, God’s mighty heavenly armies are unable to convince Obama to bomb Iran… Bachmann and Markell have great news. Okay, so it involves a nuclear holocaust, but, really, it’s great news. Because — you guessed it — God!
