One of barry's drones...enjoy:

Marie Harf trotted out the “root causes” school of thought last night to explain how ISIS will ultimately be defeated. “We cannot win this war by killing them,” according to Harf. “We cannot kill our way out of this war. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs…” And so on.

This is the counsel of ignorance and stupidity and defeat masquerading as deep thought. It is liberalism of the old school writ large. Yet it has its uses. It lends assistance to those among Harf’s higher-ups who must avoid mentioning Islam and jihad at all costs — even the cost of making themselves laughingstocks.

Harf’s interlocutor here is Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: How do we stop this? I don’t see it. I see the Shia militias coming out of Baghdad who are all Shia. The Sunnis hate them. The Sunnis are loyal to ISIS rather than going in with the Shia. You’ve got the Kurds, the Jordanian air force and now the Egyptian air force. But i don’t see any — If i were ISIS, I wouldn’t be afraid right now. I can figure there is no existential threat to these people. They can keep finding places where they can hold executions and putting the camera work together, getting their props ready and killing people for show. And nothing we do right now seems to be directed at stopping this.

HARF: Well, I think there’s a few stages here. Right now what we’re doing is trying to take their leaders and their fighters off the battlefield in Iraq and Syria. That’s really where they flourish.

MATTHEWS: Are we killing enough of them?

HARF: 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. We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs, whether…

MATTHEWS: We’re not going to be able to stop that in our lifetime or fifty lifetimes. There’s always going to be poor people. There’s always going to be poor muslims, and as long as there are poor Muslims, the trumpet’s blowing and they’ll join. We can’t stop that, can we?

HARF: We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people…
Marie Harf is a blithering idiot, but jobs are indeed a root cause of the fix we are in. In 1980, Ronald Reagan put it this way (video below): “A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his.” By the same token, we won’t win the war the jihadists are fighting against us until Barack Obama and his crowd lose their jobs.

Them: God willing, we will restore the Califate and hasten the holy apocalypse as written in scripture.

Us: so you're saying you want jobs.

Virtually every political appointee spokething in the west is an idiot. And that will be their only possible defence when it comes to the gallows. Of course due legal process will be followed the entire week of the trials.

The problem isn't that ISIS needs jobs. The problem is that Marie Harf has one.

The new twist is to blame us we are the problem they don't have an opportunity.
Hmmmmmmmm we bought their oil at inflated prices enabling them to buy good
weapons and create the websites they use against us. Instead of using the
money these countries made to educate and provide jobs the spent it on the
rich families who hold all the power the rest they spent on weapons. We in the
west provided weapons, food, aid, and some education.
No its not the west's fault and it is our fault. We should have insisted on oversight
for the money we gave them to help. We should have developed our own oil we
have plenty and not embolden them with enormous amounts of money,.
The fact is we are at war and that means somebody is going to get killed. They
are intent of murdering many and enslaving the rest how do you negotiate or
deal with that? WWII taught us you can't negotiate with a bully and letting them get
too powerful creates a bigger problem. We had better beat them on the battlefield
or eventually they will get around to all of us.

Communism would have worked if the factory workers and the government leaders were to get the same monthly cheque. As it was there was supposed to be an elite to match the UK Monarchy and US leaders and 'the rest were to share what was left of the spoils. Sort of like Kuwait today, some have it great and the rest are imported workers who will never get citizenship.

Which one is Megahurts and which one is BoreObssesed?
I would guess Neither, since work is against their religion...... "Communism"
Your flag is flapping like that one on the moon. Any explanation as to why I would keep all my incriminating files in your private collection?

Wouldn't the words in red make it a US Georgia produced item. Still paying slave wages I see.

Feminism will be our undoing.
Good thing there is only one possible stumbling block out there.
