The U.S. can’t defeat the Islamic State by “killing them,” State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf told MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Monday night.
“We’re killing a lot of them, and we’re going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians. They’re in this fight with us. But we cannot win this war by killing them. We cannot kill our way out of this war,” Harf said.
Instead, she said the U.S. needs to focus on the “medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups,” such as “lack of opportunity for jobs.”
Matthews pushed back slightly, telling his guest that the United States isn’t going to be able to fix those kinds of societal problems in “fifty lifetimes.”

We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people.”

And yet this is the guy who bowed to the sheik of Saudi Arabia.
I stand by my earlier post.
Bush stood up to Islamic tyrants.
Obama bows to them and makes excuses.
It's not like there haven't been any "good jobs" around for over fourteen centuries except it's these fanatics who want to murder everybody who don't believe in their phony "Prophet" and false religion, and don't want to be a part of their homicidal 7th Century Caliphate.
It's not the lack of jobs, Ms. Marie. They have had plenty of good jobs as looting, raping, pillaging, and murder can be attractive and profitable lines of work for those so inclined, as these scum are. They have been busily employed and many have gotten filthy rich in killing more than 1/4 billion people over the years who don't want to bend to their perverted religion.
It beats flipping hamburgers, Ms. Harf-wit, even at a San Francisco minimum wage.
They won’t get that much power ... unless we keep sending them money and weapons and “training” all the time.
Because we are so stupid by doing this we almost deserve to be killed.

Jeezopete. This administration is getting dumber by the minute. They’ll take your job offer, stuff it in your mouth, and then chop your head off.
We’ve had some stupid policies in the middle east...
Nope. No jobs in Iraq. Lots of oil. Lots of oil drills. Lots of oil workers extracting oil through drills, who get hungry around lunch time. But what they really need are new-deal style jobs. Sure. That works everywhere. Once they have jobs, happy times will be here again, and they’ll stop burning people at the stake./is sarc tab really necessary?
Like Obama, Bush was owned by islamic tyrants.
