State Department spokeswoman floats jobs as answer to ISIS (Feb 2015)
FOX News ^ | February 15, 2015

What the West really needs to take on the Islamic State is ... a jobs program.

That's what a top State Department spokeswoman suggested the U.S.-led coalition is doing to stop the slaughter of civilians by Islamic State militants across the region.

"We're killing a lot of them, and we're going to keep killing more of them. ... But we cannot win this war by killing them," department spokeswoman Marie Harf said on MSNBC's "Hardball." "We need ... to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it's lack of opportunity for jobs, whether --"

At that point, Harf was interrupted by host Chris Matthews, who pointed out, "There's always going to be poor people. There's always going to be poor Muslims.

The comments come as the Obama administration takes heat from lawmakers for its approach to the Islamic State, whose self-proclaimed fighters in Libya recently executed 21 Coptic Christians from Egypt.

The White House on Tuesday kicked off a three-day summit on "countering violent extremism." It began with Vice President Biden moderating a discussion on countering extremism with representatives from cities.

This squinty-eyed imbecile is actually monitoring our ntl security.

In the squinty-eyed face of Marie Harf, America is witnessing the tragic consequences of a mindless generation inculcated with moral relativity and situation ethics.

The ghost of Saul Alinsky lurks behind the Progressive Poison spewed by Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of their ilk.

The Dumbos clearly see themselves as "deconstructionists"----savagely committed to tearing down America's traditions. Every maniacal official govt act is dedicated to chipping away at the bulwark of American freedoms.

Well, how about we actually try killing them first and see if that works? If we kill all of them and it doesn't stop, then maybe we'll try your idea.

There are two job openings for Muslims in San Bernadino Calif.
One is for a male restaurant inspector, the other is for a woman pharmacist. -Tom

She’s a loon. What qualifications does it take to work in this administration, a certificate of bordering on being a lunatic? Talk about being out of the mainstream, that would be every damn liberal alive. They are showing how seriously insane they really are!

Kill as many as possible as rapidly as possible and train Moes in America as undertakers and gravediggers so that when we deport them there will be plenty of jobs for them.

Exactly. What ever happened to the idea of creating safe zones in Syria?

Follows “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

A lot of the refugees don’t want to leave their homes and Syria. They are fleeing because it is life or death.

It’s the jihad, stupid.

It’s in their book.

Some of the 9/11 hijackers were well educated and could have had good careers instead of jihad.
They were following the example of their prophet and his instructions in their book.

The problem is Islam.

Read the koran.

OK, lets do it their way.

1. Confiscate every last firearm in the country.

2. Give every muslim on earth a $50,000 a year job. (that may be on the low side)

Problem solved. (?)

We have certifiable idiots in the top positions of leadership of this country.

[[2. Give every muslim on earth a $50,000 a year job. (that may be on the low side)]]

What? Are you a monster? Make them work for it? Oh Heck no! Just give them $50,000 a year

Problem solved (I joke, but the FACT is that refugees ARE guaranteed to get $32,000 in SS payments for life, plus medicare for life, AND their families are guaranteed this too when they will eventually be brought over

Apparently our dear leader thinks that the path to peace with islam is for all Americans and western nations to commit suicide
