ISIS: US State Department rep says jobs could be key to eradicating Islamic State - by Jessica Mendoza

In an interview on MSNBC's daily talk show 'Hardball,' State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf suggested that an effective long-term campaign against the Islamic State will require addressing the region's socio-economic and political instability.

That’s what US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said Monday night when asked on MSNBC’s talk show “Hardball” what America and its allies are doing to end the militant group’s reign of terror in the region.

“We’re killing a lot of them, and we’re going to keep killing more of them,” Ms. Harf told host Chris Matthews. 

“But … we cannot kill our way out of this war. We need, in the longer term … to go after the root causes that [lead] people to join these groups.”

Note EU-Digest: this is what the Danish Government has been saying all along.
