(Mullah) Obama apologizes to Afghanistan over Quran burnings; 2 US troops shot dead
MSNBC ^ | 2/23/2012 | msnbc

Posted on 02/23/2012 8:07:44 AM PST by tobyhill

President Barack Obama has written a letter to his Afghan counterpart apologizing for the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO military base in the country. Two U.S. soldiers were also shot dead Thursday at a protest about the desecration of the holy books.

A man wearing an Afghan government soldier's uniform killed the American troops and wounded four others at the demonstration in Nangarhar province, officials told NBC News.

There have been violent protests daily since it emerged on Tuesday that Qurans used by detainees held at the Bagram military base had been burned. The incident has become a public relations disaster for foreign forces in Afghanistan.

These people only respect strength and power. The US has both, but our enemies know we won't use it.

The POTUS in these situations needs to call Karsai(sp) yo the White House, sit him down. Using a finger to point tell him he is in power only because the US chooses, Afghanistan is free of terrorists only because of the US, the kids are being educated only because of he US, the Afghanistan armed forces exist only because of the US, everything good in the country is because of the US. So you President K stop these demonstrations and attacks on US facilities and personnel. And if they don't stop in ten days one of your military barracks will be leveled along with all troops there. And each time there is an American casualty, expect the same retaliation by the US. Say what you mean and mean what you say. There can be peace in Afghanistan - be tough, but show mercy too.

I thought there couldn’t be a President who showed more lack of leadership than Jimmy Carter… I stand corrected. Obama is 10 times worse than Carter.

The American people should apologize for electing this fool... Hopefully they’ll do so by electing a Republican in in November. BTW – No hanging chads please.

Muslims regularly shot at Americans and then ran to hide in mosques. Muslims use Korans to send messages. Muslims kill Americans with impunity.

But the sick, anti-American Obama apologizes to the Muslims.

Obama has the blood of the dead American soldiers on his slimy, dirty hands. Obama is guilty of their murder and should be held accountable.

Exactly what will it take for the mudslimes to do which will be so dastardly that citizens of the world will demand their governments ban this hate cult from the face of the earth? Seems so far they can do as they please and liberals will make every excuse in the book for their behavior.

Owning the Koran should be illegal as it is nothing more than a weapons manual for the mentally ill and genetically inferior.

> Best thing we could do is get them out of OUR country and KEEP them out.

Not good enough. Amadijihad and his grim reapers will soon be able to launch a nuke-tipped missile from 200 miles off our coast. We’d have about 5 minutes warning. I’m convinced that as soon as he can, he will.

Isolationism doesn’t work. It didn’t work against the Japanese Bushido fanatics, either.

If we need to drop a few, or even more than a few, nuclear bombs on Mohammedan “holy sites” to convince them to leave us alone, then so be it.

They need to be sent back to the 7th century, where they came from.

But nobody in authority has the gumption to do it, so they’re safe.

But we aren’t.

And never will be as long as their genocidal rapist, murderer, pirate, slave-trader cult darkens the earth.

Guess it’s ok to burn the Quran. Just don’t flush them down the toilet.

Google hits on flushing it down the toilet - over 5 million.
Google hits on burning Koran in Afghanistan - just over 1 million

Media sharia on Obama burning Koran - crickets.

I remember a previous President who implemented the same ROEs and appeasement policies as the current C-I-C.

Interesting question: If you are not part of their religion, do they have the right to force you to adhere to their beliefs?
Do they have the right to demand that you make changes in your life to comply with the tenants of their faith?

I am so sick of this POS I am longing for the good old days of Bill Clinton.

I loathed Bill Clinton. Now he looks good.
