Remember when FDR and Churchill said we couldn’t win the war by killing all the Nazis?

Yeah, neither do I.

Marie Harf’s latest babbling would be amusing, if it would not be so frighteningly idiotic.

(But don’t worry. The WH is hosting a conference this week, where they will talk about “extremism” without mentioning the words ‘Islamic terrorism.’)

Via Breitbart: Harf: We Can’t ‘Kill our Way’ Out of War Against ISIS

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf declared “we cannot win this war by killing them [ISIS], we cannot kill our way out of this war” on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball.”

It’s really how we stop the causes that lead to extremism in a place like Libya, the fact that there’s no governance, and there’s no opportunity for young people, it lets groups like ISIL grow there and flourish there….

…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 longer term, medium and longer term, to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups, whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs…”

Lack of opportunity for jobs?

God help us…

    Based on previous observations of these two people now sitting at a desk, we don’t have to listen, at all, to predict the exchange. The person on the left will ask an ‘open question’ about a ‘topic’ and then proceed to answer it himself, once he’s finally done, the person on the right will not answer the question(if we can remember what it was in the first place), but respond with a ‘pre-programmed’ boiler-plate response about the ‘topic’ grilled into them by their handler.

    And if you listen closely, whenever someone can’t or won’t answer an uncomfortable question that requires telling the truth or genuinely speaking their mind, they ALWAYS SAY: “But the ‘REAL’ question is…”. It’s a classic dodge. Or they fail to challenge the false premise of the question.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again-this gal looks like Jethrene from the Beverly Hillbillies. For those Tams too young to remember, Jethrene was Jethro’s rather dumb sister. But it was really Jethro in drag.
    So to sum up, both “gals” are not too bright and hiding something. Hummm…say…

    Marie Harf, an authentic Obama Zombie. Obama wants ‘social justice’ now for regions plagued by Islamic terrorists. Our military’s hands are tied. Yeah, Marie, war is unpleasant, especially when our military is held back from engaging with the enemy.

    What has become of America? Where did all the adults go?

    (Hmmm, I see a Minnesota paper stirred a bit of controversy by calling Obama an “assclown”.)

    Trying to understand policyspeak on this subject. It isn’t Islam when thousands of avowed followers of Muhammad and the Koran murder people they refer to as “infidels”. Those murderers are to be called criminals. When one crazy white guy shoots his neighbor (who happens to be Muslim) over a parking spot, it is anti-Muslim and he is to be called Islamophobic. Got it. Islam may be noticed only as a means to identify anti-Islam.

    Marie Harf an official Valley Girl. Hey Marie why don’t you send Isis the website to sign up for Obamacare?. Maybe they will stop killing when they know they are getting benefits. Why you are at it make sure they get pensions? Isis is worth million if not billions. Marie, you are total embarrassment. Wake up before it’s too late and you won’t have a career after Obama kicks you to the curb.

    This dingbat is as dumb as a rock. Where the heck do they get such imbeciles? Does this person have a giant bowl of stupid for breakfast every morning? The asylum inmates now seem to be running everything. Does Obama now scour all the asylums daily and scoop up all the nutbars to staff his government positions? All of his appointees seem to be as dumb as a box of rocks. He must be running a secret program to hire all the intellectually challenged in this nation to positions of authority/power. Must be that he thinks that all the brilliant minds have brought us to this point, so why not hire all the dummies and morons to see if they can do better. 🙁

      The Universities.

      The vermin are out, due to the Obamasmog. That includes the Obama Zombies walking the streets to the disease carrying mosquitoes. 🙁

      I saw a disgusting bumper sticker this afternoon: Obama12. Talk about shamelessness. Like, you know — don’t you realize that violates the Constitution? Block head.

    A fiberglass likeness of her in that clown suit mounted on a spring in front of O’s prezy libary would be perfect.

    Harf, is a total f@cking boob. She’s a Pom Pom cheerleader for Obama. Radical Islam is also Cheering (& also laughing at us). I like what Donald Rumsfeld said: She is like a High School student in the debate club, debating on behalf of the wrong side.

      We’ll win this war, but we’ll win it only by fighting and by showing the Germans that we’ve got more guts than they have; or ever will have. We’re not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we’re going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We’re going to murder those lousy Hun c**k suckers by the bushel-f**king-basket.

      War is a bloody, killing business. You’ve got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it’s the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you’ll know what to do!
