[h=4]Iraqi government fails to offer any meaningful resistance[/h][FONT=&quot]When Barack Obama issued the order to abandon Iraq after 10 years of fighting there, he left the job largely unfinished. The Iraqi government was not left with the tools they needed to defend themselves against a real foe, as was evidence in the lightning-swift collapse of the cities of Mosul and Tikrit over the last 72 hours.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The UK Independent reports that Sunni insurgents advancing on Baghdad after taking Mosul have captured the city of Tikrit, the home town of Saddam Hussein, as government forces disintegrate and fail to offer resistance. Iraqi soldiers and police are reported to have discarded their uniforms, changed into civilian clothes and fled after firing only a few shots.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Iraqi officials have told The Independent they do have “an anti-terrorism force capable of resisting Isis and recapturing Mosul, but they are few in number.” The speed of the collapse of the regular security forces, about 900,000, will also make it difficult to stage a counter-attack before more cities are lost.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The offensive led by the fundamentalist Islamist group Isis appears to be turning into a general uprising by Iraq’s Sunni Arab community that lost power when Iraq was invaded by the US and its allies in 2003. Militants from Isis have taken the refinery town of Baiji on the Tigris, which is also the site of a power station supplying Baghdad. Some 250 guards protecting the refinery withdrew after militant fighters asked local sheikhs by mobile phone to tell them to pull out or face a fight to the death.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Mosul, Isis has been seeking to reassure the local population by knocking on doors to tell people they would not be harmed and asking government employees to return to work. Many of those who fled towards Kurdistan when the city fell have returned as the Kurds would not allow them to enter Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) territory.[/FONT]

Psalm 140

New King James Version (NKJV)


Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men



140 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Who plan evil things in their hearts;
They continually gather together for war.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah

[SUP]4 [/SUP]Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah

[SUP]6 [/SUP]I said to the Lord: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
Lest they be exalted. Selah

[SUP]9 [/SUP]“As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Let burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Let not a slanderer be established in the earth;
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”

[SUP]12 [/SUP]I know that the Lord will maintain
The cause of the afflicted,
And justice for the poor.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
