[WASHINGTONTIMES] Marie Harf, a spokeswoman for the U.S. State Department, said America can't win against the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling
Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not

Ms. Harf dug in and insisted improving the economic opportunities for the terrorist group is the key to turning back their terror, The Right Scoop reported.
"We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance," she said. "We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people."
Harf began her career in the Klingon Directorate of Intelligence as an analyst focusing on Middle Eastern leadership issues. She later became a Klingon media spokesperson. Had she been an accomplished analyst, she would not have been permitted to migrate to public affairs or to Foggy Bottom.
