actually, wwii proves her right. we spent a lot of money and effort rebuilding germany and japan - giving the people jobs - after the war.Worked pretty well in WWII...... war is slaughter.... we dont have it in us anymore which is why we lose.do you have an opinion on that quote?STATE DEPT. SPOX ON ISIS: “WE CANNOT WIN THIS WAR BY KILLING THEM”
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…
“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,
i can't find fault with it. you can't bomb an idea to death.
and the dire economic situation in germany prior to wwii proves the point further.
Who is ISIL recruiting? Poor young men with no prospects.
Wrong. We're not talking all of these young men having grown up in caves.
They've been able to recruit a pool of barbaric talent world wide that is educated and from well off backgrounds.
they aren't exactly the same scenario, you know that, right?what would you like us to do that we aren't doing?"We're killing them and we're going to keep killing more of them. So are the Egyptians, so are the Jordanians."But we bombed them into submission first.
so what's the problem?
Not killing em to the best of our ability.
Compare tons of ordnance compared to say Desert Storm.
and the ordinance during desert storm was in preparation for a ground offensive. would you like a ground offensive?
Come now LA...comparing ISIS and Imperial Japan, is a fool's game. In 1941, Japan was one of the most powerful military nations in the world. Do you think ISIS is comparable today?The same thing was being said about Japan up until the morning of Dec. 7, 1941.But, ISIS is no threat to America. Let those in the region deal with them. It not our business.
And about Al Qaeda until the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
Don't learn very fast, do we?
Some of us, anyway.

Harf Truths and Whole Lies
Can political correctness defeat terrorism?

Poor Marie Harf. The State Department’s deputy spokesman is being mercilessly mocked for an interview she gave to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews in which she said, of the conflict with the Islamic State: “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 a lack of opportunity for jobs, whether—”

At which point, as the Washington Times notes, Matthews cut her off and challenged her—unsuccessfully. “Ms. Harf dug in and insisted improving the economic opportunities for the terrorist group is the key to turning back their terror.”
“Can’t win,” tweeted Rachel Palmer. “When they are employed its [sic] called work place violence.” The Washington Free Beacon’s Sonny Bunch imagines Harf’s advice to past military leaders from Themopylae to World War II. Here’s her advice to Patton: “No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by curing poverty in the other poor dumb bastard’s country!”
As funny as it is, it also feels a bit unsporting to pick on Harf like this. After all, she’s just doing her job, which is to act as a mouthpiece for an administration whose guiding principle seems to be that political correctness—which is to say, a thoroughgoing dishonesty—is the best weapon for dealing with Islamic terrorism.
Sometimes they even admit it. “We all agree that the individuals who perpetuated . . . the terrorist attacks in Paris and elsewhere are calling themselves Muslims and their warped interpretation of Islam is what motivated them to commit these acts,” a “senior administration official” said in a White House conference call yesterday. “They’re not making any secret of that, and neither are we.”
The unnamed official’s next words: “But we are very, very clear that we do not believe that they are representing Islam. There is absolutely no justification for these attacks in any religion.”
We suppose he’s right that the administration isn’t “making any secret of that.” They’re aggressively denying it.
