The only way to keep people from joining ISIS is to kill all of those who are already members. Do that and people will figure it out on their own.
We’re gonna have to...
Anyone bearing arms for Islamic groups should be killed without hesitation or mercy. Give no quarter to our enemy. Until we engage the war we find ourselves in, we lose and die.
Back in the “olden” days before “modern” ideas began dismantling reality (as a mental construct), when people believed in good and evil, we could go kick @ss for the good guys and leave the evil dead to be eaten by crows and claim victory.
The muzzies would have been banished to obscurity by now instead of raising hell all over the planet.
I miss the good old days.
Couldn’t agree more, Marie Harf has figured out the WHY of ISIS.
Please deeply inbed her so she can straighten this mess out
This article reminded me of an old Comic book, "M.A.R.S. Patrol Total War", published by Gold Key Comics for 10 issues from July 1965 to August 1969.
Our enemy was then rebuilt i.e. Germany and Japan to be our allies which they are today. We kept residual force there for many years until they were loyal and firm allies. Our forces there today our not forces of occupation but those of mutual defense that both Germany and Japan welcome. We are on the same side. As sovereign nations they could make us leave anytime they wanted.
We defeated the “bad guys” in Iraq and Afghanistan. Obama then pulled us out without robust residual forces. As a result the bad guys now control most of Iraq and soon will control Afghanistan.
The real question is this was predictable and Obama knew this. WHY DID HE DO THIS and which side is he on!!!!
Actually with these islamist bastards, killing them is the ONLY way to victory. The sooner we come to terms with that, the fewer we’ll nave to kill.
There’s an excellent companion piece titled “The Only Strategy to Defeat Jihad” by Jonathan David Carson, Feb. 11, American Thinker. The author posits that the enemy is no longer afraid of us due largely to the end of colonialism.

Seems to me if all the enemy were dead, the war is over.
what makes this war different than any other war? we won those by killing more of them and threatening to keep doing so unless they surrendered.
marie can’t say it’s different b/c the president is a muslim and isis is his fellow muslim jihadi brothers.
One of their root causes is to ensure that women such as herself are bought and sold as sex slaves. What is she willing to do to address that unsatisfied need?
Greenfield’s wrong.
Think of all the lives that could have been saved during World War II if only we had stated jobs programs for German and Japanese youth... rather than fighting them.
It boggles the mind.../s
"He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST - TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE…. Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant ... While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men."
Excellent students of history will wonder about the "1200 years" comment, since Islam began 1400 years ago. The trick is that this was written by our President... our 6th President... John Quincy Adams, in 1830.
Our problems with Islam are not new, and they are not about jobs.
Actually, there is a moment in every war where Harf’s statement is true, the instant when the losing side realizes that they cannot or will not win.
In the aftermath of Little Bighorn, when the US cavalry brought down the thunder from the skies, the Indians realized that they could not kill their way out of the war with the United States.
When Berlin was surrounded, the Germans realized that they could not kill their way out of World War II.
After two atomic bombs, Japan realized it could not kill its way out of World War II.
After the first shot is fired and the enemy fights back, liberals and progressives in the vicinity of any war begin the cry that they cannot kill their way out of war, after which they begin a campaign to fulfill the prophecy of losers, undermining any strategy or person with the power and will to win.
