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."
If it had been dropped, it happened before I got it. I’m just not happy at all!
Mostly because I don’t know how long this Toshiba is going to keep going. So I’m stressed. *sigh*
And I really want a beer...
We have Sunbean.
On my way to Wally World, I caught a look at the mountains with no clouds to obscure the view. Oh. My. Gosh! The snow is spectacular, to the north and the south, and of course, to the west, with Mt Charleston! So gorgeous!
If I can, I will try to find some pics of it.
This is a great time of year for us, in regards to viewing the outdoors.
We got our hairs cuts. Now I’m going to Walmart.
She was my first pet and an old gal when I was in single digits.
One of my funniest memories from back east was the family eating at the table when we hear meow. Door knob is turned and the cat comes swinging around with her two paws way up on the door knob and back leg still kicking from having pushed the sort open.
SMART CAT.
Never had or me another cat that smart. Wonder what the hell we must have been feeding that kittie? Maybe we were all exposed to some radiation from an unknown illegal dumping under the ground of our house and the cat MUTATED?
I have to go through some old papers and see if Patty played the stock market or ponies.
I went back outside to take some pics, and the clouds had started coming in from CA. So no pics today. Maybe tomorrow after the rains quit. It’s so far down the mountains now it would be a shame to miss pics of it.
I think the snowboard resort said they got 6” - 8” overnight, so that was a pretty hefty storm.
I’ll just take the rain, and be happy with it.
Yepper.
Cool, eh?
Chinese Electronics Show?
The puppies are kicking to get out. So cute, and they’re not even born yet. We are at T minus 6-18 hours.
Good luck! Let us know how many there are!
Ok!
My bramd new Dell was hit by a car. It’s bent. It doesn’t sit flat. But it still works!
That’s good.
You were hit by a car, too. How are you doing?
I was pretty sore for a while, finally started seeing a chiropractor. He was impressed by my bruise collection...
Last night I was able to sleep without a Vicoden!
Made it to about 3:30 tonight, got up to take some Aleve.
And I’m still working, too...
You set a wonderful example for the rest of us.
Tty to tone it down some, willya?
