Michelle Bachmann re Iran: "War is peace." and "Rejoice, for the End Times are near."

http://www.salon.com/2015/09/11/michele_bachmanns_ignorance_is_her_strength_the_only_way_to_prevent_war_with_iran_is_to_bomb_it/

In an interview with World Net Daily conducted before her speech at the anti-nuclear accord rally on Wednesday, former Minnesota Representative Michele Bachmann claimed that “bombing Iranian nuclear facilities” would “is called peace, that’s not called war.”

...

It’s worth remembering that when Bachmann speaks of another world war, she does so happily, because as she said in August, she believes World War III will usher in the End Times.

...

She assured World Net Daily that this peaceful bombing of Iranian facilities could be accomplished with minimal harm being done to the Iranian people. “We’re not going to bomb shopping centers,” she said during her speech, and “we’re not going to bomb innocent people.”

It’s unclear how a bombing campaign without collateral damage — either in the form of civilian casualties or greater regional unrest - will spur on the End Times, unless of course she’s deliberately lying about the former in order to accelerate the arrival of the latter.

IIRC it was somebody here on DU who coined the term "y'all Qaeda". And I feel tempted to use it.
