It is time for iraqis to stand up for themselves. Good luck. Stop running...fight.

Remember, arming Ukrainian rebels who killed civilians is an international crime. But arming ISIS (AKA “Syrian rebels”), who have killed many more civilians, is helping get rid of an evil dictator and stabilizing the Middle East.

This makes Obama ecstatic. Iraq has fallen. Now ISIS can turn West and take out Assad for us, uh,... I mean, for the Free Syrian Army! Yeah, that’s it. Then, it’s on the Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

But... but... one of O's first moves on the international stage was to bow deeply to the King of Saud.

Prayer for Peace in Syria   

 

God of Compassion, 

Hear the cries of the people of Syria, 

Bring healing to those suffering from the violence, 

Bring comfort to those mourning the dead, 

Strengthen Syria’s neighbors in their care and welcome for refugees, 

Convert the hearts of those who have taken up arms, 

And protect those committed to peace.   

 

God of Hope,  Inspire leaders to choose peace over violence and to seek reconciliation with enemies, 

Inspire the Church around the world with compassion for the people of Syria, 

And give us hope for a future of peace built on justice for all.   

We ask this through Jesus Christ,  Prince of Peace and Light of the World, 

Amen.

He gets a kick out of fooling everybody. Another sign of pathological narcissism.

Tragic. I’ve been praying for them daily.

Thank you Salvation, beautiful prayer.
