Not a bad idea. If they’re funding the Daesh, a violent death is entirely appropriate.

Shouldn’t be drones, though. unless the targets are already in a failed state like Yemen, Syria, Libya, etc. False flag assassinations are better, as are apparent “workplace accidents.” The real problem will be dealing with state actors. Killing Saudi royals will be really embarrassing all ‘round.

Susan Rice woulda weighed in---but she was out of town, delivering vodeos.

The Commemorative Susan Rice Video Room is on the lower level (/snix).

If they have managed to get a lot of the “civilized” world behind them, then I doubt there is any mortal power that can do anything about it any more.

U.S. Intensifies Effort to Blunt ISIS’ Message (Rashad Hussain new CSCC Director)
NY Times ^ | February 16, 2015 | ERIC SCHMITT

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is revamping its effort to counter the Islamic State’s propaganda machine, acknowledging that the terrorist group has been far more effective in attracting new recruits, financing and global notoriety than the United States and its allies have been in thwarting it.

At the heart of the plan is expanding a tiny State Department agency, the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, to harness all the existing attempts at countermessaging by much larger federal departments, including the Pentagon, Homeland Security and intelligence agencies.

(snip)

The new director will be Rashad Hussain, a Muslim American who has close ties to the White House and is currently the special envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

what about the 92 million Americans who needs jobs too?

Oh, never mind them. Obama wants to keep them on the Democrat plantation, with food stamps and Obamaphones, where they'll vote for him and his pals.

I wonder if the ISIS jobs will require them to work more than 29 hours a week. If so, they will have to be furnished Obamacare. Will they be union jobs? Should I look for the ISIS seal of approval in the phone book for any handyman jobs I need done around the house?

All of her 'experience' came out of a book - not reality.

From Wiki:

Harf, a native of Granville, Ohio, graduated from Granville High School in 1999.

She graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with BA in Political Science, and earned an MA in Foreign Affairs from University of Virginia.

Harf began her career at the Directorate of Intelligence at the Central Intelligence Agency as an analyst focusing on Middle Eastern leadership issues. She later became the media spokesperson of the CIA.

During the 2012 presidential election, Harf helped craft President Obama's national security and communications strategy, and also served as campaign spokeswoman on national security issues.

In June 2013, Harf was appointed Deputy Spokesperson for the US State Department, where she currently serves as deputy under Jen Psaki.
