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."
I suspect that’s why cat’s have been compared to wimmins...;o])
Hey, Moosie! You’re almost into Sunday, are you not? I really enjoyed the photos you posted yesterday! My dream is to tour the British Isles before I get too old, but that’s looking more and more like the dream it is...
So I’ll enjoy any and all photos you post!
*hug*
Oh, I wasn’t sure. Indonesian and some Indian scripts are all twisty like that.
I tried to foster a conspiracy theory once, but Alex Jones already had it copyrighted..
I think it’s a Commie plot.
Good Day to you,’Face.
Yes, Sunday is only 2h40m away. Lurking on the horizon.
Glad you enjoyed the pictures, it was a lovely warm day. There are over a hundred from that day alone....it is hard thinning them out. :)
(((Hugs)))
The Conference has been marred by a few (maybe only one?) dissenters, who vocally refused to sustain Thomas S Monson. We get those occasionally. They are promptly escorted out so they don’t disrupt the talks of the Members.
In view of the Church’s recent stance on homosexual “marriage,” I was expecting something like this. The dissenter(s) was referred to his local Branch/Ward/Stake authorities.
The Church now has a membership of 15,644,199, which is pretty doggone awesome for a “sect!”
And why are you up so late, you silly boy???
LOL! “Because it’s when most of us here are online!”
*smoochy things*
They’re little women in fur coats.
But their claws are sharper than the wimmins’!
This isn’t late, trust me. :)
The strange Time on FR is the two hour window before the East Coast wakes up. Just a handful of diehards lurking in the shadows.
Best time to post a thread.....
Was it an international copyright....there may still be a chance. :)
We used to have more West Coast and Pacific people on the Undead Thread. It would get weird overnight.
Night.
See you in um...about 6 hours. :)
And a lot of them couldn’t handle the politics, and I’m really sorry about that. I’ve tried to tell people of the Haven that the UT is, but some folks just don’t want to listen.
And I go to bed even earlier than the East Coast folks! LOL!
I’m about ready for bed...this session of Conference will be over at 1500 PDT, until tomorrow morning.
I’m hungry, but I don’t know what I want to eat. I have no TV dinners, so I can’t just grab one, so that means I have to actually COOK something. And THAT is not what I want to do.
My eyes are tired, and I realize I have been gritting my teeth the last week, which means they can be cracked, which is not a good thing.
*sheesh* What am I doing? Since I don’t have money to get frozen dinners or even fast food, I will try to find something suitable. (Haha)
Not sure.
But ol’ Alex has such a corner on the conspironut market that it would be unprofitable to challenge.. ;-)
(I have a friend who emails me with a constant barrage of stuff from Alex and assorted other nutcases. It is such a constant stream hat I have taken to never reading them. They end up in the bitbucket.)
I heart you, Moosie! LOL!
Obviously trying to make you in his image... ;o]
And an innate talent for finding one’s soft bits.
It ain’t workin’.. ;-)
