Wolf Blitzer invited Marie Harf on CNN’s Situation Room this afternoon. Blitzer sought her out to expand on her remarks on the administration’s approach to dealing with the Islamic State terrorists. Harf thinks that we must attack old-fashioned “root causes” of the material kind. Harf is promoting Great Society liberalism as the answer to “violent extremism.”
Great Society liberalism couldn’t even cut it in the United States with more limited (if still ambitious) goals. Touting the rollout of Great Society liberalism worldwide as the answer to religious fanaticism betrays a mind-boggling stupidity.
Jobs programs don’t quite cut it when you’re in the 72 virgins business. This is where the administration’s comprehensive denial of the motive forces driving the terrorists is key. They aren’t looking for work. They aren’t looking to get rich. They aren’t looking for daycare programs. They’ve got something else on their mind, something else that is taboo to speak of in the higher reaches of the Obama administration.
“I’m not the first person to say something like this,” Harf said this afternoon. “Military commanders that we’ve had throughout many years here fighting this war on terrorism have said the exact same thing, that in the short term when there’s a threat like ISIL. We’ll take direct military action against these terrorists. We have done that. We are doing that in Iraq and Syria. But longer term, we have to look at how we combat the conditions that can lead people to turn to extremism.”

They have to say something. Obama can’t come out and admit he is with ISIS.
Harf: the sound a cat makes coughing up a hairball
Arrogance acts like a preservative for stupidity. Kind of like formaldehyde.
She doubled down and took a beating on Twitter today too.
Tried to use GW Bush comments to legitimize her ingorance.
Yes, we have to attack the root causes that make them do this. That root cause is ISLAM. We have to kill them or stop them from following ISLAM.
The breakdown of black families from the liberal social program giveaways and awards for irresponsible behavior would seem to be the root cause of the chaos and naked hate breeding (no pun intended) in the inner cities.
So, this dumb liberal twit wants to try for more of the same with the muzz. God knows what they would end up doing with it.

Another grade-school intellect.
They quit their jobs to go over there and fight. Their new job is to fight. I see even Dems are trying to get away from this nutcase administration.
I think she went to Ohio State.
so she has no world experience, still has a college mind and, has no idea about the real world.
I will be happy once the grown ups get back in power and stop this left over or college mindset we have for the last 6 years.
Words escape me...
She and her sorority sis, Jen Psaki, are ludicrous dingbats.
Just like Clinton.
Depends on what IS - IS.
Agreed. No wonder ISIS is winning.
Please tell me this thing has not reproduced.
