State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf told Chris Matthews tonight that we cannot win this war with ISIS by killing them. She said we have to get to the root cause of why people are attracted to Jihad — you know like poverty, jobs, etc…

LOL! Killing them not only will win the war, it will reduce the need to find jobs for them AND prevent them from having to live in poverty..Just my opinion...

It’s worth pointing out that ISIS tactics mimic those of the Imperial Japanese Army in 1937/42 when they were extremely successful.

I can just see Marie Harf outside the gates of Vienna in 1673 yelling at King Jan Sobieski that killing the Muslims was not going to help. The Turks would have raped her, beheaded her and used her torso for camel polo.

The way I look at it, the whipping the Turks got then was good enough to keep them back in their sandbox for a good three hundred years.

Time for another @ss-kicking.

Maybe we can defeat ISIS by “killing” the State Department.

She is as dumb as Obama who claimed that Washington freed British prisoners as President. Wrong. Washington was Pres over six years after the damn war was over. Next Obama said Lincoln freed confederate POWS in a deal. Again total BS as Lincoln was killed a month before the war was over. On top of that both sides just released those they held. Next Obama claimed FDR traded Japs for Americans. Again Obama could not pass high school history as Truman was Pres when WWII ended. Hell, Truman ordered the A bomb attacks. Our Pres is a damn IDIOT.

Just a reminder: The woman is speaking Kerry’s and Obama’s words whether she agrees with them or not.

This is beginning to look like Vietnam. Same thinking processes.

Damn...the genius of the Obama administration!!! How could we all have been so stupid...all that’s been needed all these long years to stop terrorism is a jobs stimulus bill for the raghead ninjas and a ton of ‘empathy’. I am overwhelmed at and in awe of the sheer genius that came from the number 2 at the State Dept., Marie Harf..she should run for President, of the looney bin.

If America had used this type of thinking, during WWII we’d all be speaking German or Japanese. The way to win a war is to kill as many of the “soldiers” as possible and even some of the collateral individuals. This pussy footing around about the collateral damage doesn’t win anything. Let the soldiers talk and keep the state department doing what they’re supposed to do.....like issuing visas, vetting individuals they allow in our country.

This statement right here roles the complete Obama administration and 6 years of leadership up in a NUTshell. It is his belief and approach to solving the problem.

He cannot KILL his fellow Muslims to solve the issue, period. He must hand over America to them by opening our borders. Weakening our infrastructure and our way of life.

All ruining our future generations chance for success if they are not subjugated to ISIS.

This POS must be removed from office. Our Congress needs to do their frickin job.....

We should be very clear here. She is NOT saying that it is impossible to defeat them by killing them. That is a logical fallacy. She is giving a command, and telling us that she and her ilk will not stand idly by during any such effort at victory. They will march and shame and spit and yell and write and propagandize and everything else in an effort to stop a victory by those means, while demanding that we somehow find a different way to win... against a barbarous group that thinks nothing of killing, even their own, even over grudges that are hundreds of years old. She will lie and cheat and steal and sabotage and anything else to try to enforce her fantasy on the rest of the world, no matter how many more are killed because of her efforts. She will even try to support the logical fallacy that killing cannot lead to victory, but that is not the purpose of her headline statement. Again, it is an order, and one that the Leftists will do their best to make us obey, most typically through emotional manipulation.

An old idea, and one that has already failed spectacularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wahhabism started up in Saudi Arabia, and that nation is very wealthy.

If this was a new problem, maybe she’d have a point. These people are just incapable of learning from experience. We just need to start making this lifestyle extremely painful for them.

How Well Does That Approach Work? I mean, the US has tried that with Barry "Gone Golfin'" Soetero.
