The fight against ISIS will not be won with military action but by bringing an end to the civil war in Syria around the negotiating table, Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said on Monday.
"We stand before the dilemma that the battle against ISIS must be continued, but everyone also knows that in the end the battle against terrorism can't be won militarily," Steinmeier told journalists as he arrived at an EU foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels.
"I personally remain convinced that... we will only move forward in the Middle East if, above all, we work energetically on those questions which can lead to a de-escalation of the conflict in Syria," he said. ...

Morons, and why in English?
I disagree. I think that this would go a LONG way toward stopping these animals:
Maybe Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier should get hold of some of the anti partisan manuals from 70 years ago as to how to handle terrorists? The Germans of today are nothing like the ones the allies fought in the early 40’s. We managed to turn them into NYC liberals. :)
What part of “we only want to kill you” do this people not understand?
Um..
You could stop letting them cross your borders YOU IDGIT!!
Reminds me of the scene in Independence Day of the liberal asshats welcoming the aliens on the top of a skyscraper...right before the aliens wipe out the city.
Define “de-escalation” in this context.
Yeah.... I think a few of those strategically placed goes a long way to defeating ISIS.
Really? Seriously? So like as Madonna said: “Only Way to Stop Terrorism is to âLove Unconditionally,â Keep Having âFunâ...
But they can kill you, militarily.
Call upon the Evil Jin of “Vlad Tepes” to help ypu.
Sometimes I leave my /Sar tag off....
Up until Friday night, a core belief that nothing can be accomplished “by military means” has been a requirement for a leadership position in Germany, whether political, social, media, or educational - maybe even for advancement in the Bundeswehr.
Perhaps that will change. It’s hard to believe that, after the amazing recovery between 1945 and 2015, that Germany will now disappear.
I’m old enough to have known Germans who, after a couple of beers, would opine that the years between 1935-1942 were the best years of their lives.
The future of Europe hinges on what the 18-25 year olds believe about themselves and their homeland. About that, I know nothing.
That would work ... just make sure to pop it off DOWNwind of Israel. I don’t want to slime them with the fallout.
Why isn’t this skanky moron- and others like her- on a plane to Syria to put some lovin’ on them for world peace? Love Missionaries to Muslim countries- what’s stopping them from going...hmmm??
I had a feeling it was bubbling to the surface. Thanks.
Germany couldn’t beat Luxembourg with military means. They’ve let their military deteriorate so badly.
That is in their playbook - the Koran.
Sura (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."
The true state of the Bundeswehr land forces is unknown.
It's probably true that most of the heldenblut went into the earth at Stalingrad and therefore wasn't passed along, but you never know.
What goes on in the heads of Germany's junior officers? The world wonders.
