Where on Earth do they get people like this?
Did we get the Japanese and Germans jobs, to get them to end WWII?
No. We killed them. Lots of them.
And we kept on killing them. And we developed bigger and better tanks, warships, planes, and bombs (some of them nuclear), to kill them even better and faster. And we demonstrated we were willing and able to use those things to kill unprecedented numbers of them. And we persuaded them that we would go on doing so until none of them were left alive to crawl out of the rubble. And that there was nothing they could do, to stop us.
And at that point, they agreed to end the war against us. And they were defeated.
(BTW, the Germans and Japanese weren't nearly as vicious as ISIS is today.)
And we didn't offer them a single job. (Until much later.)
Because back then, we knew that getting them jobs WOULD NOT MAKE THEM STOP ATTACKING US AND THEIR NEIGHBORS.
Did this State Department "spokesman" come up with this new "plan" by herself, that she announced yesterday?
Or did some higher State Dept official tell it to her, and tell her to go out and announce it?
Are the people who came up with this plan and announced it as U.S. policy yesterday, collecting unemployment benefits today?
If not, WHY NOT???
Why are we still paying these people money, to work at the State Dept.?

State Department spokeswoman floats jobs as answer to ISIS

What the West really needs to take on the Islamic State is ... a jobs program.
That's what a top State Department spokeswoman suggested when asked in a TV interview Monday night about what the U.S.-led coalition is doing to stop the slaughter of civilians by Islamic State militants across the region.
"We're killing a lot of them, and we're going to keep killing more of them. ... But we cannot win this war by killing them," department spokeswoman Marie Harf said on MSNBC's "Hardball." "We need ... to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs, whether --"
At that point, Harf was interrupted by host Chris Matthews, who pointed out, "There's always going to be poor people. There's always going to be poor Muslims."
Harf continued to argue that the U.S. should work with other countries to "help improve their governance" and "help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people."
She acknowledged there's "no easy solution" and said the U.S. would still take out ISIS leaders. But Harf said: "If we can help countries work at the root causes of this -- what makes these 17-year-old kids pick up an AK-47 instead of trying to start a business?"
