George W. Bush, when asked by Bob Woodward "how is history likely to judge your Iraq war?" replied, "History, we don't know. We'll all be dead." (Woodward Shares War Secrets, CBS News, 60 Minutes, April 18, 2004).

That's been widely interpreted as a reference to the apocalypse.  

I honestly don't know if he really believes this stuff, is just pandering to the "Left Behind "crowd, or if we're projecting our fears onto him - giving him more credit that is due.  But nothing he says or believes should shock us at this point.  He is a madman.

To me it's meaningless what he believes. His policies are public knowledge and they are bad from top to bottom.

you are the media you consume.
