Default John Hagee Wants to Sacrifice Jews for Armageddon

McCain supporter John Hagee was criticized for describing the Catholic Church as "the great whore" and a "false cult system," so he apologized to Catholic loudmouth William Donahue.
But Hagee's most dangerous belief is that a U.S. attack on Iran will "fulfill God's plan" by bringing about Armageddon.
“The United States must join Israel in a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to fulfill God’s plan for both Israel and the West…a biblically prophesied end-time confrontation with Iran, which will lead to the Rapture, Tribulation, and Second Coming of Christ.”
</p>
Hagee spoke those words at the July 2006 conference of his evangelical group, Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Six months later, Hagee met with John McCain and told his followers, "Senator McCain’s comments concerning Israel are on target! He gets it!" As Jon Perr writes,
But what exactly is that McCain “gets?” During an April 2, 2006 interview by Tim Russert on Meet the Press, McCain gave a hint. Discussing Tehran’s nuclear program and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s inflammatory rhetoric towards Israel, John McCain sounded as much preacher as president:
MR. RUSSERT: So we could have two wars at once?
SEN. McCAIN: I think we could have Armageddon. But I think that, that if we handle this right, and our European allies stand with us, and the Russians and the Chinese stand with us, sanctions might do the job. And I am confident that this administration will exhaust every effort before contemplating seriously a military option.
</p>
Russert, of course, did not follow up to clarify with McCain what he meant when he said “we could have Armageddon.” Was he literally speaking of the final conflagration involving the mass conversion and killing of the Jews described in the Bible? Does John McCain believe, as Pastor Hagee clearly does, that American foreign and national security policy should be governed by the Book of Revelation?
During an April 2007 campaign event, John McCain joked about confrontation with Tehran, singing “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.” But as tensions with Iran continue to rise, the end-times views of McCain supporter Hagee are no laughing matter. So 76 days after they shared that stage in San Antonio, the McCain-Hagee Armageddon watch continues. When will the American media ask John McCain the question he must answer: does John McCain agree with Pastor John Hagee that war with Iran is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy?
