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."
Good luck! Frank has gone to look for someone to play with, and I’m going to try to get Kathleen to nap. The trip to see “Star Wars” has picked up Sally’s friend Alyse from up the street (a nice Mormon family); there was a spare ticket because Tom has gone to Florida with someone whose family must really like him.
Tom, like most teenagers, undoubtedly has the ability to pretend to be a nice person, but he doesn't want to strain himself by doing it all the time while around his family.
Keeping the cork in the bottle can be a challenge during the teen-age years. Sometimes it helps if a fellow can find an outlet that lets him channel his aggression in a socially positive direction.
This is the reason that I have been saying for a very long time, that "The purpose of women is to civilize men. The purpose of men is to preserve civilization."
It's in the middle of my about page. It has been there from day one.
I don’t know how successful this is going to be.I have been on the phone with Dell in India for an hour and 20 minutes and I’m hoping that when I turn my computer on I will be able to reach the Internet.
Blarg.
for sure put me on.
Yeah I guess, but we are all globally warmed over down here.....too much heat too long
Indeed. For who can argue with that?
too many tiki bars...
Tom is very good at channeling. “Good Tom” could charm you out of a year’s tax revenue. “Bad Tom” should be airdropped on Syria.
I will be most happy to add you,Rod! Welcome!
Would you like the Morning Kitteh picture, too?
well the good news is I can sort of semi quasi access the Internet.the bad news is I can only semi quasi. iaccess the Interwebs. and using my phone is frustrating to the nth degree. GAH
Thus, he is learning the Kung-Fu of consciousness.
All of the evil, and bad karma that is directed toward you has to be gracefully deflected, as a matador does the charge of the enraged bull, but then its energy must be captured and coalesced into gems of power, to be used when force is needed to defend the innocent.
It's all in the Handbook. I sure wish I had a copy.
I wish I knew what game we were playing. Civilization V?
The game we are playing may have been designed by Chris Van Allsburg, (who created Zathura and Jumanji).
Hint: It’s not a good idea to begin playing the game until you are familiar with the rules.
Remember the waiting room in Heaven before the long slide down here? The reading material there was not just for decoration or atmosphere.
I always take a nap in waiting rooms.
But when you take naps in wading rooms, you end up wrinkly.
