This is your brain on Obama —
Harf: Well, I think there’s a few stages here. Right now what we’re is trying to take their leaders and their fighters off the battlefield in Iraq and in 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.
‘So how do we defeat ISIS’ you might be wondering? Don’t worry, the State Department is like, totally on top of this:
Harf: We need, in the medium and longer term, to go after the root causes that leads people to join these groups.
Harf: Whether it’s lack of opportunity for jobs…
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. As long as there are poor Muslims and the trumpet’s blowing, 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. You’re right. There is no easy solution in the longterm to preventing and combating violent extremism. But if we can help countries work at the root causes of this. What makes these 17 year old kids pick up an AK-47 instead of trying to start a business, maybe we can try to chip away at this problem, while at the same time, going after the threat, taking on ISIL in Iraq, in Syria and helping our partners around the world.
Unfuckingbelievable. I don’t have enough palms to face.
What’s next? Sending the AG to the Atlantic to investigate Neptune? Making a horse the secretary of HUD? Point over the sneeze guard at the roast beef in an Arby’s ?
On the contrary, this is anything but unfuckingbelieveable. It’s nearly a perfect map of the moral depravity of the entire ClownDisaster clique.
What sdferr said.
In spades.
Everything’s a jobs program to Democrats, isn’t it?
They have jobs. Their job is killing Kuffar like you and me. Killing their way out of this war is precisely what they intend to do.
I guess the way to sell Democrats on fighting this war is to frame it as a population control initiative joined to an urban renewal program.
Just explain that they’re on the payroll of Big Oil. Maybe mention their carbon footprint while you’re at it. They’ll be launching missiles within an hour.
A better country than our own would offer a job to ISIS – As fertilizer.
Or, perhaps, as a grisly warning to others…
A better country than our own would offer a job to ISIS – As fertilizer.
Or, perhaps, as a grisly warning to others…
This country already did that in 2007-8. Then all that work was thrown away by the ClownDisaster in revenge upon his enemies, his “own” nation. So, here we are today.
There are lots of poor people in the world, might be something else going on here lady.
Give all the jihadis minimum wage jobs, then when the Democrats want to raise the minimum wage anyone against it will be beheaded.
Not well enough – and much like what happens when a course of antibiotics isn’t completed, you wind up with resistant survivors.
At this point, we may have to simply evacuate the Israelis and cauterize the entire region. Three Conjectures anyone?
“Victory is just a big Stimulus bill away.”
“The ball’s in your court Congress, I’ll be on the links.”
On the other hand ISIS is advertising world-wide that they have the biggest baddest “Jobs for Jihadi’s” program going with thousands, tens of thousands of shovel-ready projects available. Only 9 grams of lead, a gallon of gas, or some deft knife work needed for completion of each one. And big bonuses are there too, just for the taking.
Another year and a half of these assclowns in power is going to get a lot of people killed.
Indeed. The problem isn’t jihad, the problem is Fox News according to the chief law enforcement officer in the land.
Including all the pussy you can kidnap and enslave.
i do not agree that we should make jobs for obama’s terrorist friends
You wingers are so dum.
The way we won WWII was to address the ROOT EFFING CAUSES of Nazi Aryan supremacy and Japanese Imperialism.
By giving them jobs.
Hell0? Marshall Plan? You guys really gonna sit there and tell me that had no effect?
The first part of Germany’s and Japan’s recovery consisted largely of employing people to stack bodies and pile up rubble. Under armed guard, no less.
Or was it to pile up bodies and stack rubble?
Anyway, there were armed guards.
Anyway, so much for choosing to do the hard things. I guess JFK really was a reich-winger.
Just like daddy, no doubt.
Italy is freaking out about ISIS in Libya…..
Eventually the Pope is going to man up and call a crusade, thousands of Christian volunteers will flock to the middle east and the game will finally be on.
And they are eagerly awaiting just that.
Quote should have stopped at “nicely.”
Smarter than you’ll ever be, Smart-smart-smart.
Silly Islamists. Meggido is where the world ends!
Marie Harf has a great future in some ISIS commander’s harem in front of her.
I know Dicentra was being sarcastic, but it’s worth remembering that Hitler’s jobs program/economic recovery came before the invasion of Poland.
Or, you could read Jonah Goldberg on Il Duce.
“Say, what?”
Say Yeah!
We shouldn’t try to kill all terrorists wherever we find them, because extinction is bad. Even the Lyme disease tick has a vital role to play in the environment.
How about the tick that returns to my face every time I hear Barry or Lady Michbeth speaking? Huh, McGehee.
They are correct that we cannot kill every terrorist in the world. Getting them all is impossible.
That doesn’t mean, however, that we cannot kill most of them, especially when they oblige us by concentrating themselves to make it easier. Until we get serious, they will continue to do what they do best. Well, second best.
The lawn keeps growing every day. That means you need to mow on a regular basis.
Announcing a New Term: “Harfing”
Here’s the ClownDisaster himself, seeking to demonstrate that he’s a greater moron than his servant, lil’ Missy Harf. As you might imagine, he doesn’t have to work very hard at it to get his point across. Which, hey, more time for golf.

Proud Democrat Jew-haters in the US Congress, whose ranks have grown by 3 since last week.
Rudi Guliani speaks.
Well, yes and no. We can’t kill them all, but we sure as hell need to give it our best shot. We need to kill as many as we can as fast as we can until any left beg us to stop.
There are still Japanese left, we didn’t kill’em all in WWII…but we were going to do our best to kill them all until they quit. That’s the only way to win a war.
Now days the Japanese are good friends, and a benefit to the world instead of the terror they were. There’s a lesson there, one so simple to understand and obvious it takes years of higher education performed on an immature but privileged people to miss.
Be sure the Islamists understand the lesson completely…
Also the #JobsforISIS statements could be seen as a “dogwhistle” to domestic grievance groups that the administration will have their backs if they too move onto actions similar to the ones ISIS is doing from what they have been doing, which has been like Islamist actions in France a year or two ago.
Bob, if your tick doesn’t spread disease, its existence may be tolerated — but wouldn’t you rather get the chance to do without it?
Oh, yes, very much so. But it’s gotten to the point where they’re EVERYWHERE…you know, like shit. Except I can’t flush ’em.
How about midnite soccer leagues?
The Islamic State has attached great importance to the Syrian city of Dabiq, near Aleppo.
So that’s where we drop our first nuke, sounds like. Lure ’em all to the glorious, prophesied battle and win it in a mushroom cloud.
Followed by Mecca and Medina, if necessary.
Anyone who’s not yet read the article at The Atlantic that geoffb quoted, get ye hither and take the time to read the whole thing.
Gives you a sense of how far out of our depth we are in terms of understanding the enemy’s aims and methods.
They’re sure that events unfold as Allah wills them, not as a result of their actions, so they’re not very cagey about revealing their goals: we can try to thwart ISIS but Allah will make sure we lose.

Obama to Nigerian Christians: Change Laws on Abortion, Homosexuality If You Want Protection from Boko Haram
Dey got Dabiq
Ok, here’s the problem with The Atlantic article: Dude thinks that the Caliphate can’t/won’t hurt us (they’re too focused on local prophecy, whereas al Qaeda wanted to kill distant devils) and that the “quiet Salafists” offer a viable alternative to those who want a pure Islam but not bloodshed.
And that we just gotta bleed ISIS slowly until they destroy themselves from within and are thereby discredited.
Twould be interesting to read an article from 1935 wherein Nazi doctrine is accurately set out but then dismissed as a minor danger because Hitler wants to conquer Russia and Europe, not the U.S., and besides, a movement that violent will inevitably consume itself before it comes to much.
And if the Germans want national socialism without the bloodshed, there’s this dude in leiderhosen with a mimeograph machine who says you can be a perfectly good Teutonic fanatic without invading Poland.

“This is like playing poker with a guy who cheated you before. You know who does that? A moron.”

Just an advancing line of charged up big-dogs with spikes on the front and M-40 grenade machine-guns on the back. Then drop a spread o cluster bombs and white phosphorus on ALL of it.

Report: Tree Obama Planted in India Last Month Almost Dead
Muslim terrorist front group says jump, Greasy Joe says how high
I hear the administration wants to import trouble from Syria under the guise of granting refugee status.
If they were talking about Jews or Christians, I’d applaud the initiative.
Unfortunately, I can’t help thinking thinking that Obama has something else in mind.
Another link. This time to a book review.
Gotta get those “older brothers” in so we can have our own quartiers.
I suppose we’ll know France is lost when the minarets go up around Notre Dame.
Although, Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre seems a more likely candidate for repurposing, don’t you think?
Underlying the terrorism is gangsterism.
More like last year’s children’s crusade and the now injuncted amnesty aren’t overwhelming the system fast enough.
After all, you can’t start a Reichstag fire without a spark.
Gangsterism is just tribalism with better tailors.

Islamic State Fighters In Libya Burn Musical Instruments…
It’s a good thing Barak Obama’s a Democrat. Becase a Republican President would be getting excoriated for getting Kayla Miller killed about now.
Well look, but that’s perfectly reasonable right, since both Egypt and Jordan are enemies of the ClownDisaster. Why? Easy, because they’re allies of Israel.
One more for the road.
Dem Lawmaker: Obama Summit a ‘Diversion’ from ‘Radical Islamic Ideology’ We Need to Focus On (Video)
ClownDisaster using the formulation “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” says: “Religion is not responsible for violence and terrorism,” he told the conference. “People are responsible for violence and terrorism.”
But if, on the other hand, religion is only present in people, and is not some ethereal-substantive being free-floating apart from people, then we might conclude that what ClownDisaster is actually saying is this: There is no religion.
One way to look at this statement and others of similar language is as attempts to “stir the pot.”
>then we might conclude that what ClownDisaster is actually saying is this: There is no religion. <
-There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. –

I suppose we’ll know France is lost when the minarets go up around Notre Dame.
Around?
We should be so lucky. On the ashes of is more likely. Though the Louvre will go first, what with its shameful depictions of nekkid humans, animals, and trees.
Christianity (and Judaism) have exercised violence in the past but never sacralized violence.
Christians and Jews have been violent in the past. It’s irrelevant that someone did something “in the name of” Christianity or Judaism — you can do anything “in the name of” anything. It’s exactly as meaningful as carrying one color flag or another.
The only relevant question is whether someone acted according to the precepts of Christ or the Torah or Mohammad or Lao Tse.
THAT’S IT.
Self-identifying as belonging to a particular faith — especially if you’ve belonged to it for 10 generations — doesn’t say jack squat about you or your faith. It’s as valid as blaming German for Nazism or Latin for Teh Crusades or saying that someone who learned Chinese is by definition inscrutable.
Did Jesus tell his followers to protect Jerusalem or Anatolia from invaders? Did he indicate that heretics must be weeded out regularly? (The parable of the wheat and tares says otherwise.)
No, no he did not. So anyone slaughtering Muslims in the name of Christianity is a liar.
Cripes, people on our side fall for this rhetorical crap, and I mean Jonah Goldberg. How hard is it to separate the TEACHINGS from the putative followers?
Not hard at all, and still people insist on bullshit identity politics.

>”Using the intelligence capability that everybody embraced about weapons of mass destruction was not, turns out to not be accurate,” Jeb Bush said, being sure to note, accurately, that the intelligence estimate of Iraq’s WMD capabilities was shared by many other nation’s intelligence agencies.
He then added: “Not creating an environment of security after the successful taking out of Hussein was a mistake because Iraqis wanted security more than anything else.” This was ostensibly as much of a criticism of George W. Bush’s defense secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, as it was of the former president himself. Rumsfeld has been faulted with not sending more troops to Iraq to deal with the post-invasion occupation. <

Spengler wrote [as quoted by GeoffB above]: It is important to get the theology right — not so much to understand the depredations of radical Islam…. in an otherwise spot-on remark.
The phrase ‘radical Islam’ is redundant. The whole damn Ideology is Radical.
It’s so damn frustrating that such men refuse to understand the Truth of this, because such blinkered thinking provides aid and comfort to The Enemy.
>The phrase ‘radical Islam<
#isisisislam
such blinkered thinking provides aid and comfort to The Enemy.
I think that’s the POINT.
They’re welcoming their new Muslim overlords.
No, it is a rhetorical method to get someone to read to the end where we find that “radical Islam” is the only one there is.

Beware the Gruberous Harf my lad

And most of all avoid the song

No need for nukes, though. I’m thinking something more Biblical – 40 days and 40 nights of round-the-clock “Arc Light” carpet-bombing.
Turn the buildings to rubble. Then the rubble to gravel. Then the gravel to sand. And then bounce the sand around for a while…
Let me be perfectly clear.
and
Isn’t it funny how downright imperialistic the multi-culturalists get on this one issue.
Almost as if they think they know Islam better than muslims do.
Everything that follows is a bald-faced lie.
I’ll concede that I may have naively thought that ISIS would prove as sophisticated as were the Ottomans when they captured Constantinople.
Let me be perfectly clear = Mandrake gestures hypnotically
Heh. Then again, these days what isn’t?
I stand corrected Geoff.
In my anger, I failed to notice the tactic. I should never comment while in the grip of Despair [I try not to].
