STATE DEPT. SPOX ON ISIS: “WE CANNOT WIN THIS WAR BY KILLING THEM”

State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf told Chris Matthews tonight that we cannot win this war with ISIS by killing them. She said we have to get to the root cause of why people are attracted to Jihad — you know like poverty, jobs, etc…

“We’re killing a lot of them and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups,

do you have an opinion on that quote?
i can't find fault with it. you can't bomb an idea to death.

Hiroshima/Nagasaki...
Plus can't bomb an idea ? Are you that naive? No wonder people like you went to the Middle East thought they could help these barbarians with
THEIR IDEAS and end up DEAD! The Islamic terrorists don't think. They don't have ideas. They are after the 72 virgins!

Of course you can. We did it August 6th and 9th, 1945.

Worked pretty well in WWII...... war is slaughter.... we dont have it in us anymore which is why we lose.

actually, wwii proves her right. we spent a lot of money and effort rebuilding germany and japan - giving the people jobs - after the war.

and the dire economic situation in germany prior to wwii proves the point further.

But we bombed them into submission first.

 

[NLT]

ISIS are like modern day barbary pirates, they dont want to work, they want to rape and pillage. The only way to stop it is put them down and hard. Make too costly to continue.

 

[deltex1]

Who believes that any of these guys in ISIS really wants a shovel ready job?

Beheading and living like a jihadist as a day job or flipping burgers?

The dumbass doesnt realize the terrorists have a well paying job...killing and raping non believers...great opportunity for healthy young men...

 

[Seawytch]

Who is ISIL recruiting? Poor young men with no prospects.

 

[AmericanGirl05]

Michael Savage called this Administration "government by sorority girls." As a woman, and I did belong to a sorority, I was uncomfortable with his characterization.

However, he has a point. Government by Bimbo might be a better phrase, though.

Their major recruitment centers are filled with willing prospects. AKA, US jails.
Who has the largest prison population?

Harf Truths and Whole Lies
Can political correctness defeat terrorism?

Poor Marie Harf. The State Department’s deputy spokesman is being mercilessly mocked for an interview she gave to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews in which she said, of the conflict with the Islamic State: “we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s a lack of opportunity for jobs, whether—”

At which point, as the Washington Times notes, Matthews cut her off and challenged her—unsuccessfully. “Ms. Harf dug in and insisted improving the economic opportunities for the terrorist group is the key to turning back their terror.”

“Can’t win,” tweeted Rachel Palmer. “When they are employed its [sic] called work place violence.” The Washington Free Beacon’s Sonny Bunch imagines Harf’s advice to past military leaders from Themopylae to World War II. Here’s her advice to Patton: “No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by curing poverty in the other poor dumb bastard’s country!”

As funny as it is, it also feels a bit unsporting to pick on Harf like this. After all, she’s just doing her job, which is to act as a mouthpiece for an administration whose guiding principle seems to be that political correctness—which is to say, a thoroughgoing dishonesty—is the best weapon for dealing with Islamic terrorism.

Sometimes they even admit it. “We all agree that the individuals who perpetuated . . . the terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere are calling themselves Muslims and their warped interpretation of Islam is what motivated them to commit these acts,” a “senior administration official” said in a White House conference call yesterday. “They’re not making any secret of that, and neither are we.”

The unnamed official’s next words: “But we are very, very clear that we do not believe that they are representing Islam. There is absolutely no justification for these attacks in any religion.”

We suppose he’s right that the administration isn’t “making any secret of that.” They’re aggressively denying it.

 

[nodoginnafight]

ISIS is a doomsday cult. They don't want jobs - they want an apocalypse.

 

[gipper]

Of course the idiots and psychopaths in our government have no clue.

But, ISIS is no threat to America. Let those in the region deal with them. It not our business.

But, ISIS is no threat to America. Let those in the region deal with them. It not our business.

The same thing was being said about Japan up until the morning of Dec. 7, 1941.

And about Al Qaeda until the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

Don't learn very fast, do we?

Some of us, anyway.

They saw people's heads off because they are muslims. It's what these filthy subhumans do.

Problem is we are arming and recruiting them in Libya and Syria

 

[Iceweasel]

I'm surprised she didn't get the Secretary of Defense position.

 

[Roadrunner]

ISIS is not like a rational foe. They are a doomsday cult. They don't care about jobs, they don't care about dying or whether or not their cause is "lost". They just want to bring about the apocalypse that their prophet predicted.

A better economic outlook might help keep them from attracting SOME, but I find it hard to believe that there are Muslims who are trying to decide between a job and a suicide mission.

Harf is not a rational human being.
