Political Sarcasm Alert

Jennifer C. Braceras, writing snark for the Boston Herald, says Islamic terrorism encompasses both Hamas and ISIS.
Many countries are beginning to understand that [Islamic terrorism] is one front,” Netanyahu said Sunday, and that “[ISIS and Hamas] are branches of the same poisoned tree.”

The Saudis get it. The Jordanians get it. Even Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas gets it. But our Golfer-in-Chief and his Secretary-of-Wind-Surfing do not.
Not Secretary-of-Swift-Boating? You could easily add Boko Haram, Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiya to Netanyahu's list of poisoned branches.

If I ever meet John Kerry, it will take all my willpower to keep from asking "Why the long face, Mr. Secretary?"
