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."

“Tranquil Chicken Wind”
Sounds like a Chinese Rice dish. :)
Remember, the Quran was “written” by a “prophet,” which indicates there should be no contradictions.
Not so. It is full of contradictions.
I have a small tripod that came with the video camera, WAY long time ago. I have forgotten how to use either one. LOL!
Oh, goodness. I decided that since it’s lunch time, the inspection won’t happen until later, so I had a breathing treatment, and now, I’m really shaky. Obviously, not the right medication. Maybe I should have used the steroid.
And my upper back thighs are really sore. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me, and then as I was taking a shower, I remembered that I was semi-crouched yesterday while I was cleaning out the fridge. I used muscles I haven’t used in a long time! LOL!
