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

That's what a top State Department spokeswoman suggested when asked in a TV interview Monday night about what 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."

Words from an ancient wisdom book might be helpful for Harp, as she purports to represent the United States of America before the entire world:

"New American Standard Bible (Proverbs 4:7)- "The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding."

King James Bible (Proverbs 4:7) - " Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."

Will the “job” be beheading Americans and their children
for ISIS and the US State Dept?

Incredible.

This could not be imagined on 911.

This imbecile is monitoring our ntl security.

Poor people are exempt from liability when killing innocent people and destroying the property of others.

If they had a $15/hr job at McDonalds all the world would live in peace.

Nahh...They can work down at the tannery.

It pays about 15 dollars an hour ... biting the a$#holes out of cowhides. :)

Perfect for them!

So, the answer to all our problems is more jobs for Muslims.

Hey, what about illegal immigrants? They need jobs, too!

Is that fool John Kerry hiring these people? Is that why they all sound nuts?

“We are not fighting you because we want something from you. We are fighting you because we want to destroy you”

(Hussein Massawi, former leader of Hezbollah, quoted in Fouad Ajami, Dream Palaces of the Arabs)

And, I might point out that the VAST majority of these animals are actually from middle and upper-class families. Very few terrorists come from poverty, and many of the “foreign fighters” either left jobs to join the jihad, or lived someplace where they could have gotten a job if they had wanted one, but preferred to sponge off their host country instead.

It's women like this that inspire dumb blonde jokes.

[Gaffer]

The State Department of the United States is irretrievably INFESTED with pompous-assed liberal blowhards content in their liberal college degrees and years of covert service (to liberaldom) in that organization. It is entirely undone with liberals and America haters. Even replacing all the heads with political appointees wouldn’t be enough. It needs a Stalin purge IMO.

Glaring evidence that there is zero chance of ever winning with these children in charge.
