Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."
He can hang out in my garage any time.
Now I’ll have to wonder how it all turned out. Sally says she had the same dream, only the rooms were planted with catnip and she was talking to the cat.
It will be time for me to leave in a few minutes: Weight Watchers, used-bread store, pick up Tom at school.
Nice color on that car!
I’m afraid I can’t help you on how it all turned out. If I knew, I’ve forgotten it. Or it dwindled into nothing when I woke up...
Nothing for me on the agenda today. The bathroom is clean, the kitchen floor is clean, there are clean sheets on the bed — I guess I could vacuum and do the dishes...or vice-versa. ;o|
41, SSE @ 7, 80%, and 36 wind chill...
Ungh.
So, if you don’t mind plugging the thing in again, I’m pretty sure I can get you up and running.
If you have something connected to the wireless connection thingie, the Dell can connect unless it’s wireless is dead. And we can prove that true or false pretty quickly.
Then you’d have to research Daddy Long Legs and their survivability in various habitats.
There are barn cats, house cats, and then there are garage/road cats.
yessssssss!
I will plug in the Dell, but not until I get the dishes done. I don’t want anything to occupy even a tiny part of the brain that I need to get the Dell working.
Is the “wireless connection thingie” the router? Some days my brain is geared for the obscure, and some day, it boggles.
*sigh*
It would be nice to be normal once more.
That depends on how your home is set up. If you have a single device that has the wireless antenna (or antennae) and connects to the cable company then, yes, that’s the router. But it’s actually a wireless access point (WAP) and router in one device. And it’s the connection to the WAP portion that’s giving you trouble.
How do I tell? I have the router, and it’s “new” so I don’t know how to troubleshoot that.
I dreamt there was a shadowy translucent black man wearing a white hat in my room.
He could hear me, but I could only see him. Lots of yes-no questions later, come to find out he’s in the future.
We figured out he could give me winning lottery numbers, and were working on what I could do for him.
If the thing you’re using now is connected to that new router you don’t need to troubleshoot it. It’s working.
I hate dreams with shadowy translucent black men in them. GAH!
You could always offer him the use of your late car...
Don't believe him when he throws the Nigerian prince gang signs. It's all a trick!
K. It is, so I guess it is! LOL!
Will I need to use this computer? I can’t access the Internet with the Dell, so I don’t know how you will be able to look at it.
You’ll probably have to do the work. I’ll tell you what to do on that ‘puter and you tell me what you saw on this ‘puter and etc.
K. Give me a few minutes to get it set up.
