| US disagrees with Netanyahu on Iran, ISIS and Hamas |
| 2014-09-30 |
| The US State Department said Monday in a press conference that it disagrees with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's assertion during his UN speech on Monday that "ISIS and Hamas are branches of the same poisonous tree." "Obviously, we've designated both as terrorist organizations, but ISIL poses a different threat to Western interests and to the United States," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "And that's just a fact." This is not what they taught us at Harvard---so it can't be true! |

| #14 Of course, Israel is the only one to get it right in all these areas. |

| #13 Their arrogance will never allow them to see that they really don't know much and have little experience. |

| #11 Netanyahu was chasing Arabs, soldiering and serving his country before Psaki and her Foggy Bottom cadre were off the tit. Where do these disrespectful, wet-nosed urchins get off? Damn every one of their sorry, preppy, fat arses. |

| #10 I guess he must think Mormans, Methodists and 80-year old ladies might be a threat. Well, he is certainly a threat to them. |

| #9 It doesn't help that those briefings are in a written report that is put on his desk for him to read. IF he reads them, he has no means to get clarification of details, priorities. IF he reads them. |

| #8 Alan, you're right. For some reason I was thinking that Israel was our ally, and ISIS was our enemy. Silly me. I denounce myself. I will report to the re-education camp. |

| #7 Rambler, you misunderstand. This regime won't agree with their enemy, Israel; or dis their allies, Iran, MoBros, et. al. For them that's easy. The fact that their enemies and America's enemies are NOT the same is the problem. |

| #5 Matter of fact, they're pretty sure there's other things they disagree on, but just can't name one that quick. |

| #4 AlanC, it's not hard for this administration. It's what they do. |

| #3 Netanyahu gave the speech I'd like to hear from Obama. It is just not in Obama's DNA. He is not a warrior intent on defending this country. He is focused on global warming, trying to insure that no one ever gets profiled, and being racial (and IMO it seems Muslim). I guess he must think Mormans, Methodists and 80-year old ladies might be a threat. He attended 42% of the intelligence briefings in the last year--about par for the course before this year also. It is no surprise he gets blindsided by terrorism movements. He is a pathetic failure as a president. He has surrounded himself with people of the same ilk. South of Carter yet? |

| #2 It's hard to agree with your enemy and dis your allies. |

| #1 "Obviously, we’ve designated both as terrorist organizations, but ISIL poses a different threat to Western interests and to the United States," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "And that’s just a fact." And "obviously" both would seek your eventual rape and death due to your status as an infidel, that's assuming you didn't convert first. These feckless, adolescent ideologues in Foggy Bottom are so transparent. They simply cannot endure the wisdom or common sense of a man [yes man] like Netanyahu. |
