Kind of puts a different view on the "not a crusade" line eh...?

    Is the Untied States Marine Corps a bit like the United States Marine Corps but with their shoes falling off?

    Also they have a black hand high fiving a white hand, what's to complain about? :)

    Kind of disturbing really.

    Well in fairness this group seems interested in evangelicalism in the army, not the people they have just invaded.

    If my country were invaded I'd want to know that the soldiers were fighting because of political decision and not for their religion....

    Be glad you're not an American then and fighting to beat Gog and Magog in the middle east.

    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.

    Can it be believed? We have calls out to Professor Römer and to the Protestant Federation of France. I'll report back if or when they get back to us. But Römer story was published in the Lausanne University magazine in 2007, and looks perfectly credible there. It was repeated independently in a French book of interviews with Chirac this spring. I'm certainly inclined to believe it myself: it makes as much sense as anything else about Bush's policy in Iraq.

    Incredible, and I agree totally about the sense of Bush's invasion of Iraq, indeed his whole "War on terrorism" which as one commentator said, is not even a war on a defined enemy but a war on a tactic. go figure!
