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."

Wow. :o])
So squee!!!
Rain most of the night, all day today and again tomorrow.
The BIG news: Isaac Connor entered the world by way of the Idaho Portal yesterday at 0747. He came in at a WHOPPING 8 lbs. 5 oz.
So I’m a GGMa to a beautiful boy who looks just like his dad. If the baby could have waited five days, he would have been born on his dad’s birthday.
I was so surprised at his weight, as both of his parents are small. His older sister weighed three pounds less!
Congratulations! If he’d waited five more days, he might have gained a pound. When James was born at 9 lbs., two weeks early, I was awfully glad he didn’t grow for two more weeks before delivery!
Quit bashing Mayor Dinkins! He was great at tennis.
(I think this was the only thing he was great at)
“Mayor Dinkins where are you?” - Rush
Sibling rivalry with kitties seems to be the theme today, cute little buggers.
They are expecting snow,,yes. Not an April’s Fools.
C
Face! A new grand baby?
Mazel Tov!
The mother is 4’11” so I’m pretty sure she’s glad he didn’t wait any longer! He was a week “overdue,” and that, in itself, is harrowing.
My mother had seven children and said I was the only one who came on the day the doctor said I would. And though I only had one, I’m pretty sure they come when they are darn good and ready!
I need to get more spices and pineapple today, and another banana. When my FRiend was here from up north, I put on five pounds, and now I HAVE to lose them. Period. I nibble when the ulcers are active so I have to make sure I have an ulcer cocktail at least once a week for a while to stop that “hunger.”
As soon as pics are posted on FB I will copy them and send them to photobucket. I think I need to do that with all the photos in various places. Two flash drives and the slave...and this computer.
Golly, snow. It’s supposed to be 29 here tonight.
We’re almost out of cat food.
Thanks, Gefn!!
I have pics on my phone but maybe later today I will figure out how to get them off the phone and onto the computer.
And that’s GREAT Grand Baby!! That’s #4, and I have four grandsons. The other three GG babies are girls.
Do you boil it?
Congrats!
GREAT grand baby!
That is so wonderful and amazing.
Four great grand babies. Wow. As much as I love kittens there is nothing more wonderful more magical than the new baby smell when they are a few minutes to a day or so old.,little miracle.
Waiting......
It’s mine! I got this!
