Maybe they should be employed as butchers because that's about all they are good at.

...I'm curious to see how loudly "they" beg for help when they get what they are asking for
The military is a nuisance until shit goes wrong. Then everyone wants to pull out the "support the troops magnet"
For the record...
...fuck your magnet

Well the DoS surely knows how to recruit its PR ladies. Victoria, Harf and that redhead who can barely string two words together.
They were the nerds that were not hot enough to land modelling jobs so they had to get interested in something like.. er.. pilitiks?.. polatiks?.. like um.. whatever man.

Marie Harf doubles down on STUPID
Wow, she has what it take to be the next president.....she's a complete moron.
State Department spokeswoman: Call for using jobs to combat terror ‘too nuanced’ for critics
Published February 18, 2015
·FoxNews.com
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf, after coming under fire for suggesting a way to fight the Islamic State and all terrorism is by creating jobs, has an answer for her critics: Her argument is just "too nuanced" for them to understand.
Harf, in TV interviews Tuesday night, stood by her original remarks and said she was speaking about a comprehensive approach to combating "extremism."
Harf said that means airstrikes in the short-term, and going after "root causes" like poor economic conditions in the long-term.
"Longer term, we cannot kill every terrorist around the world, nor should we try," Harf said on CNN. "How do you get at the root causes of this? Look, it might be too nuanced an argument for some, like I've seen over the past 24 hours some of the commentary out there, but it's really the smart way that Democrats, Republicans, military commanders, our partners in the Arab world think we need to combat this."
Harf went on to say the approach doesn't fit "into a sound bite," when asked to respond to the intense criticism, on social media and elsewhere, of her original remarks.
On Tuesday, Rob O'Neill, former Navy SEAL Team 6 member, told Fox News a "military strategy" is what's needed to fight ISIS.
"They get paid to cut off heads -- to crucify children, to sell slaves and to cut off heads and I don't think that a change in career path is what's going to stop them," he said.
O'Neill, who claims to have fired the shot that killed Usama bin Laden, warned that the problem is spreading.
"We can't let it happen," he said. "It'll go to Saudi Arabia, it'll hit Jordan."
Harf first pointed to jobs as a counter-ISIS strategy during an interview Monday night on MSNBC -- after ISIS-aligned militants slaughtered 21 Coptic Christians in Libya.
"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," 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."
Harf continued to argue that the U.S. should work with other countries to "help improve their governance" and "help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people."
She said: "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?"
Harf stood by the remarks Tuesday night on CNN, and on MSNBC. CNN host Wolf Blitzer challenged her statements, asking if she thinks these young men might not turn to terror if they just had a job.

True jihadist evil fanatical savages don't want some 9 to 5 gig...
Tens of thousands (and growing) truly want to impose their will and fanatical, medieval, religious beliefs on all on nonbelievers...it ain't a money issue.
True believers believe the medieval shit Marie ! That nuanced enough for you Marie.
Here's a plan...destroy their army and address their ideology...
Two more years under the terminally-in-denial Obama administration is a nightmare for the world.

"During the 2012 presidential election, Harf helped craft President Obama's national security and communications strategy, and also served as campaign spokeswoman on national security issues.".[2][3]

She's such a fu****g genius that none of us can possibly understand her super smart, "nuanced" answer. In the picture she looks about 20. She can pound sand.
Tool.

Any scholar in terrorism and counterterrorism would readily show her the unproven linkage between poverty and terrorism. Yes, yes, unproven is not disproven, but to cling so vehemently against all opposing facts I hope she's well compensated and it's worth it
In all fairness, come on now, that's how she earns her pay, by sticking to the party line. It's a tough job in the face of all the merciless twitter comments. She has to put food on the table like the rest of us...OTOH, it's still a free country. She could have followed Jay Carney footsteps.

True...as did Baghdad Bob...but Harf is somewhat less credible.

Actually she has got to be very smart to have accomplished all the above. The thought of the same lady making the jobs comment serving in those positions is horrifying. Then again, 2 years stint in the DI is very short. IMHOO, the poor lady got stuck with the party line despite knowing better....but then her pride got the best of her

Frostfire, there is little doubt that Ms. Harf is parroting the Obama party line.
However, when a "smart" person like Harf takes the job as one of the Obama administration's spokespersons - she must know the type of disinformation she will likely be required to float out there - and the criticism that goes along with spouting BS.
She is an adult and as you point out - a reasonably well educated and experienced adult - and thus she has willingly become part of the problem.

Don't confuse education with being "smart". She is highly educated but dumb as a stump.
