Armageddon (aka WWIII)

Something significant happened today and although it's significant I'm not talking about the storming of Falluja. (here and here) I'm talking about this; Saudi religious scholars support holy war.

Prominent Saudi religious scholars urged Iraqis to support militants waging holy war against the U.S.-led coalition forces as American troops prepared Saturday for a major assault on the insurgent hotbed of Fallujah.
The 26 Saudi scholars and preachers said in an open letter to the Iraqi people that their appeal was prompted by "the extraordinary situation through which the Iraqis are passing which calls for unity and exchange of views." The letter was posted on the Internet.

"At no time in history has a whole people been violated ... by propaganda that's been proved false," Sheik Awad al-Qarni, one of the scholars, told Al-Arabiya TV.

It's officially a "Holy War".

....the scholars stressed that armed attacks by militant Iraqi groups on U.S. troops and their allies in Iraq represent "legitimate" resistance.

So who are a majority of the Iraqis going to listen to? You can bet it's not Dr. Allawi. It appears that Mr. Bush has gotten his us vs them Crusade and unleashed the demon of Jihad. Well, at least the "End of Time" folks must be happy.
