4. I know!

I decided to be classy for once and not include a snarky remark at the end, but "ya think?" was exactly what I'd had in mind.

Not enough beheadings yet. Maybe they'll make the list when young girls are being tortured.
The UN is a joke.

9. The UN is putting them on a list?!

Oh, they're toast now.

You hear that, al-Baghdadi? You're on a list now. They're going to put this on your permanent record. It's going to ding your credit score. If you don't stop what you're doing, they're going to write you a stern letter. You've been warned.
