Raqqa, Syria
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."
Yep, I figured it was C&P. It would be laborious to copy it key-by-key.
Actually around here, the kids in the adjacent elem. school did have it uphill bothways. Mt Rainier Soapbox Derby Hill site. Rain pretty much halted vehicle traffic before tire improvements. Great sledding though in a snow.
No fair posting three toed sloth to make a point!
I missed the point anyway.
Well, if I have a monkey face, I may as well have monkey feet! LOL!
That’s ok, because when Kathleen asks about three toed sloths, you can point to that image with a smirk. Couldn’t do that in a government holding school.
;>)
I’m by-passing coffee to have hot double chocolate cocoa this morning. I keep looking for chocolate-raspberry, but can’t find it any more. *sigh*
It’s scarce as hen’s teeth, these days. Or frog hair.
I just had a breathing treatment, and now I’m shaky, so that must not have been the med I needed. I’ll go back in for one of the steroids, in a little bit. I have to stop shaking first.
The decryption is always longer than the encrypted message using the gibberish four rotor machine for messages. :)
That’s always good to know, Moosie. Gibberish is such a difficult language to learn, almost as bad as Babble.
Guinea pigs only have three claws on each back foot......
Babble is a universally understood language.
Some rivers are fluent in babble....
The Babbling brook for example.
Gibberish is an art form....
It’s getting dark now. Another gloriously overcast day comes to an end. :)
That sounds good! We’ll be leaving for church in about 15 minutes. Depending on how the roads are, I may try to take some boys to get their hair cut later.
Kathleen says she has a gazebo on her leg. This is weird even by the prevailing local standards.
Watch out for the other guy, and expect the unexpected. And that’s all the trite adages I have for you. Except to tell you I pray for your safety to and from.
LOL!
Now THAT boggles the mind, for sure! LOL! A gazebo on her leg. Heh.
Your children are weird. And I mean that in a good way. They could just as easily belong in my family. :o]
That's ALL? If I can't count on a better supply of trite adages from you, then where can I turn? Do you want me to have to ask Tom for trite adages, or go read a Jeb Bush speech?
*sigh*
This is what it's come to.
Speaking of Tom, he hit his head on the ceiling. He’s now officially Too Big for this residence.
Anyone know how high the ceiling are at Parris Island?
Babel and Babble... as in Tower of; and by the rivers of Babbling on, oft cited by pundits and news readers.
