 * 84-year-old insisted trip is still going ahead despite attack on US forces today 
 * Francis asked people to pray for him so trip takes place 'in the best possible way'

Pope Francis has insisted that his historic trip to Iraq which is due to take place this week will go ahead despite an attack on US forces in the country today. 

The 84-year-old pontiff said he cannot disappoint people 'who have suffered so much' by calling off the visit, the first ever by a pope to Iraq, at the last minute. 

Instead, he asked people to pray for him and the journey 'so that it may take place in the best possible way and bear the hoped-for fruits'.

    Anecdote: the ISIS online magazine was renamed from "Dabiq" to "Rumiyah" which is the Arabic form of "Rome". This name change reflected the ultimate goal for the Caliphate to eventually conquer Rome. As ISIS was born from Al Qaeda in Iraq (not overnight either), I'd say the risk of assassination attempts is probably quite significant for this visit.

    Commie trash Francis's only hope for having positive press is to be martyred. I hope he gets his wish.
