State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, after coming under fire for suggesting a way to fight the Islamic State and all terrorism is by creating jobs, has an answer for her critics: Her argument is just "too nuanced" for them to understand.
Harf, in TV interviews Tuesday night, stood by her original remarks and said she was speaking about a comprehensive approach to combating "extremism."
Harf said that means airstrikes in the short-term, and going after "root causes" like poor economic conditions in the long-term.
"Longer term, we cannot kill every terrorist around the world, nor should we try," Harf said on CNN. "How do you get at the root causes of this? Look, it might be too nuanced an argument for some, like I've seen over the past 24 hours some of the commentary out there, but it's really the smart way that Democrats, Republicans, military commanders, our partners in the Arab world think we need to combat this."
Harf went on to say the approach doesn't fit "into a sound bite," when asked to respond to the intense criticism, on social media and elsewhere, of her original remarks.

Harf: I'll make certain to speak more clearly for all you mouthbreathers in flyover country next time.
Well crikey. Let ISIS have Harf’s job. They can propagandize on their own behalf as well as she can. And for that matter, let her go to work for ISIS. They can use more dopey white girls.
"They get paid to cut off heads -- to crucify children, to sell slaves and to cut off heads and I don't think that a change in career path is what's going to stop them," he said.
Love it!
Come on: she wears glasses so she must be smart.
Honestly, I’m not even going to speculate on how she got her job.
Marie Harf gives added meaning to the term “Dumb Blonde”. Her main qualification for the job she has as Deputy State Dept. Spokeperson is that her Daddy was a big time Obama Donor/Bundler.
So economic reform in the Muslim world is supposed to be doable? A house in the suburbs and station wagon for every Egyptian? Sounds like a very realistic long-term plan for stopping ISIS. /s
And reliable sources in the State Department Human Resources Office report that Marie's full last name is, in fact, HARFWIT but Hillary suggested she shorten it lest it diminish her credibility as the department's spokesperson.
And this just in: It's reported that Marie is moving over to the Labor Department to run the just created Jobs for Jihadis Program!
Are we screwed or what?
8th grade busy-body tattle-tail getting even with all the kids that snubbed her. . .
No, don't.
Those knee pads will never be found now.
I guess she thinks that unemployed US citizens should get to the back of the line.
Work Permits, Drivers Licenses and get out of jail free cards for all the ISIS members that want them
Harf & Psaki...dumb & dumber.
The world is laughing. So sad.
” Her main qualification for the job she has as Deputy State Dept. Spokeperson is that her Daddy was a big time Obama Donor/Bundler.”
Oh, well - that explains it.
I wonder what these people do after lying and making asses of themselves in public for years? Seriously, they are probably unemployable in the real world, so I suppose that they are “taken care of” by the Dem mucky-mucks.
The more she talks, the dumber she sounds.
Translation: All you dumb hicks are too stupid to understand what I’m saying since I’m so smart.
A classic triumph of Leftism over intelligence and common sense.
She has set blond women back by at least a generation. Maybe 2.
Supposedly she cited W as being on board with her re poverty as a cause of terrorism. You know you have backed an Obamabot into a corner, and exhausted their resources, when they quote W as an authority.
