Agog about Gog and Magog
So why is this tale of President George W. Bush allegedly telling French President Jacques Chirac that the Iraq war signified the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy taking off in liberal/secular circles only now? The incident supposedly happened in 2003, and a French publication reported on it at length in 2007. Puzzling.
