so, arm and fund them?

  You're probably going to get downvoted for that, but I, too, find it ironic that someone in the CIA said this, given their history of funding several terrorist groups to help act as a insurgency to overthrow foreign governments not aligned with America.

It's only really ironic if you look at it shallowly (e.g. treating all "insurgencies" as equivalent). Obviously the CIA doesn't think about it that way, given how their job forces them to operate in a gray area.
