Boko Haram Pledges Alliegence to the Islamic State

So Boko Haram (or Group of the People of Sunnah for Preaching and Jihad, if you prefer the full name) has now pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. It’s like the Voltron of Radical Islamic Lunatics.

Significance? Maybe very little, unless every other Sunni Islamist group starts pledging fealty to the Islamic State as well, in which case future historians may pinpoint the declaration as the official start of World War III.

In either case, it’s yet another foreign policy triumph for the Obama/Clinton/Kerry team. Expect them to issue a denouncement in the form of a strongly worded hashtag any time now..
