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."
Was told by the Doc to come back if the sleep disruption lasted more than 7 days. no idea why, and it didn’t.
Sleep is your friend here, my friend. :)
Well played!
Can anyone read my new tagline?
well wonder of wonders it’s the hard drive.they are going to replace it and since it’s under warranty I’m good to go.in the meantime I’m trying to get my old computer setup so if nothing else I will have internet access.installing Win 10 right now
</x>
Well, it LIVES!!!
Ok, I’m using my old laptop, and no guarantees how that’s going to work out.
I’m currently downloading Win10, so hopefully, I’ll get back into the swing of things, soon.
My laptop is too bent to sit flat. It wobbles when I type...
I envy you and your flat lap.
You’ve turned Christmas off? But there are still nine days to go!
End. Times.
That was quick.
Welcome back. :)
It is a happy time here as future nephew in law survived his initiation including the traditional "walk in the woods" by Father, Grandfather and Uncle.
I’m still waiting for Windows 10 to do its loading and installing and whatever else it does but and within another hour I should be back online for real.
being without a computer sucks.
Yes. Yes I am back. Thank you all for missing me!
It’s been a frustration 50+ hours, but I’m none the worse for wear, so I’m good.
I’m now working on my Favorites list. *sigh*
At least I had the foresight to copy them... :o|
This is the old one, the Toshiba that kept failing. I’m hoping to make it last at least the month that it will take for the Dell to be gutted and made to live again with a new and improved model hard drive.
All I can say is that my luck with computers in the last six years has all been bad.
This is a scary venture, this...but Win10 is installed and my favorites have been transferred, so life is good. For now!
It’s cold and clear out with more wind so I’m staying in. I want summer. ;o]
How was your Christmas?
The one that failed is the one I got in August.
Ok, Moosie, it’s just sitting there...
What?
