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.

Psaki is actually pretty clever (albeit an idiot liberal) and can hold her own in an argument,but Harf would be woefully outgunned by Khloé Kardashian.
Joe Isuzu was “too nuanced”
From the "smart glasses" to the "big girl seriousness" - she applies incredibly stupid leftist talking points, usually intended to justify black crime rates, to a religious jihad - and then tells us we're too dumb to understand her nuances.
Simplistic formulaic nonsense is not that difficult to understand, though trying to figure out why anybody is stupid enough to believe it can be a challenge.
How do they propose providing jobs for Islamic terrorists when they can’t even provide jobs for Americans?
Oh, yeah, I forgot - the unemployment rate is as low as it was after the Bush tax cuts...
pull the other one and it plays jingle bells.
Your post says it all.

Y’all go home now. Dead summed up the entire issue.
I wonder if she noticed if all the 9/11 hijackers were rich or upper-middle class and mostly well-educated.
This isn’t just crazy...this is bat $hit crazy...maybe we can send her over to work up a beta test with Boko Haram...let us know how it works out for ya sweetie.
In other words, go peddle crazy somewhere else, we are all full up here...thank you very much.
Today’s headline: Call for using jobs to combat terror ‘too nuanced’ for critics.
Tomorrow’s headline: Criticism of State Department program to use jobs to combat terror called racist.
Here’s the video of Christians being beheaded.
This stupid bitch wants me to believe if these people had jobs at Walmart, new ‘community centers’, and midnight basketball that all would be fine?
She’s not ‘nuanced’ - she’s nuts...

Another fool educated beyond her intelligence.
God help us.
Idiot
Spin...spin...spin...!
She must be dumb as dirt and twice as biased.
They are doing a great job of making JF’nK look less goofy.

As bad as FDR was, to be as bad as Obama, he would have responded to the Pearl Harbor attack by sending the WPA to Japan.
there’s reality and then there’s liberalism
"Harfing" - Ignoring the obvious in an effort to deflect attention away from an inconvenient truth.
I believe she should be packed off to goat humper land and be made the chief negotiator with ISIS to help them find jobs. I’m sure they will gladly accept her offers.
