Still, she's religious enough that I'm sure she would feel honored to help carry out biblical prophecy. :(

That's an interesting theory about them wanting to bring about the end of the world as some sort of biblical prophecy, but it doesn't hold.
The reason that wouldn't be the case is because people in Government are not religious. They will say they are because many Americans are and you can't get into office without claiming you believe in God. Do any of them actually believe it? I doubt it. The bible preaches peace and love and condemns greed and killing. The latter are things that Governments are involved in on a continuous basis. If you were religious chances are you wouldn't step anywhere near running for office because of what it entails. None of those people would be true Christians according to the teachings in the bible as far as I can tell.
So I don't think it's just a matter of them fulfilling a prophecy.
