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."
We actually all have a say in this, as the Undead Thread has been hanging around in one form or another since 2004. It’s a time-honored tradition to include all those we can muster in our choice of New Digs.
And remember, hot cocoa and warm chocolate chip cookies on the mezzanine, opposite the Library and the Widow’s Walk. Of course, you should never be surprised if you hear the skirling of Pipes on the Widow’s Walk, as the late Sionnsar has been known to show up unexpectedly. ;o]
I don't care where, I wanna know when!
Yes, that. ;o]
Well, we have to go somewhere. I’m ready. The spiderwebs are just getting out of control here. I’m going to have to go up a ladder if we’re not out of here soon.
Speaking of going, I keep getting emails from National Review about their cruise in November, and I want to go SO BAD. It wouldn’t even conflict with my bilingual Sacrament class (which is in October).
I was ready about 5,000 posts ago. It’s not the cobwebs...it’s the fact that my feet and shoes get itchy...the Wanderlust is strong in this one... ;o]
Not me! It’s only the growing infestation that makes me itchy!
The leader at Weight Watchers this morning asked, “Who wants to try something new?” and I was not one of them.

We could go to the dwarf planet beyond Pluto. That would be a novelty.
I have gotten a little tired of National Review of late, although I really appreciate the writing craft of Kevin D. Williamson. But they seem to think they’re the arbiters of what it means to be conservative.
Oh, every conservative thinks that! I just read what interests me, and when someone seems to have gone off the deep end, I just figure he’s under a lot of stress and hope he’ll eventually get better.
That would be interesting. There are enough differing opinions on that thread to make it worthwhile...and it’s still less than 100 posts! That makes it an excellent choice! I think.
I think the term “dwarf” is a micro-aggression or something. It’s abelist I think.
Which means +100 points for that post. If it were a black dwarf planet it would be +1000 points.
The less PC the better.
LOL! We could go so very far with that...
So NOT PC! MY kinda thread! ;o]
And now, kiddies, I’m heading for bed. I’ve done enough damage for one day...
Looks like fun.
Don’t we have to ask the OP, as it isn’t a highjack, so to speak?
A thread with either suitable troll corpse or permission from thread poster.
I haven’t been on much.
My boss had a stroke and I’ve been filling in for him.
SO I haven’t exactly had the energy to keep up.
Take care of yourself first. Ain’t no big thing about this buccaneering, time enough.
Best wishes for your boss’ health.
Great to see you ,Darks.
Look after yourself, take it steady. :)
Now don't that sound grand!
Prepare to be boarded ya poxy little heathen dwarf of a Spaniard, if you please.
