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."
Maybe in your next place ...
Dolly Parton is an amazing woman! The good Lord gave her looks, brains and talent, and she has done well with those gifts.
A Bi-Lingual class might be good for me, too...I’ve forgotten half the Spanish I learned in high school!
And with that, I’m outta here!
Manana!
I can hope... :o])
Have a good night!
Rex Harrison ... exquisite!
Maybe you could "hang" the feeder, and then secure it with a tether so it won't blow around. Even a bit of fishing line down to a weight would keep it from swinging too much.
Yes, Rex Harrison WAS exquisite, wasn’t he?
And I had a rough night. However, I will get myself together and head for Walmart in a bit. The list is long and therefore, ugly.
We’re having another record-breaker of a day, today, but Monday, we will be 20 degrees cooler. We obviously have a few days of winter that we have to use up before we can start on summer. ;o|
Hmmm...maybe I can do that very thing, tethering. I will cogitate that.
THAT’S cute! Now I’m off to Walmart.
Warm this week, expecting 5 days of snow next week.
Home from Walmart but I will have to go again in the morning because I forgot a few things.
I’m tired this morning, but I managed to put the pork roast in the crock pot; I had to get some BBQ sauce for it. I might buy some frozen loaded baked potatoes. They are pretty good.
It depends on my appetite at the time. I wanted to make some artisan bread, but I don’t have the energy for that. Feels like a relapse, but it could be nothing more than allergies.
I know when you get “weather,” we’re going to have a milder version of it. How are you doing after the accident? Are you over all the stiffness?
How’s yer mum?
Morning. We’ve been to the gym. Now we have a few hours for school before it’s time to get Tom.
Pat says hi. Others say Hi, too.
Got any 5’s?
Hi, Pat, and Others!!!
I’ve been on the go since 0500, and just got home. I want to go outside, but I need to take some morphine, Ibuprofen and have a steroid breathing treatment, and then I will go outside for a while. :o]
I blew through the money like it was payday! LOL!
Have a Puppy.
Thanks!! I love Dalmatians!!
<3
I thought the gift for FR was a rabbit with a pancake on its head.
Or am I dating myself?
Dating yourself? You either have a massive ego, or the field for female dates is awfully limited!
*snort*
:oP
