"Shoot straight you bastards, don't make a mess of it."
I imagine that they were probably turned over to the Taliban for execution.
According to Islam AFAIK the graffitied Korans should have been dumped in a river, or respectfully burned... was there a lack of respect at the burning? Maybe only a Muslim can touch the match to them?
Let’s see...I think promotion to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Distinguished Service Medals all around would be a good start.
I think the preferred method of disposal for a Koran is (strangely) to bury it...but the whole thing is just silly. If I read the Koran on my computer monitor, is it now sacred?
That being said, I pray that these soldiers are CONUS...and not in Afghanistan...so President Idiot can’t offer them up for a show trial and execution.
I’m a former officer in the Army; and, quite frankly, if Bammy tries to let the animals try these soldiers, this will be one of ‘those moments’. A moment where I would challenge my COC. The SOFA with Afghanistan does not include these types of trials, so get my men a lawyer, and fight it.
Obama to Karzai:
"Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
Your balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that your big balls
Should be held every night"
Question is, will 0bama tolerate the sacrilege of his religion for political concern in an election year?
The GOP majority in the House should pass a resolution calling on the Afghanistan government to apologize for the deaths of U.S. soldiers. Next they need to pass a resolution to warns the President that punishment of U.S. troops over this incident will NOT be tolerated by Congress. They should threaten impeachment hearings if he does. Next Republicans in the Senate should be clear that any military officer in the grade of LTC or higher that recommends or attempts to punish any member of the military will have their commission revoked....at a minimum they will not be confirmed by congress should they ever be selected for promotion. It is time to play hardball.
I don’t like interfering with the POTUS role at CinC...but when he is abusing it, then something must be done.
They will be secretly handed over to the Muslims and later
declared dead at the scene of a helicopter crash. All
decapitated in the accident.
The Apostate-in-Chief should go to Kabul and surrender himself to Karzai for trial.
It wouldn’t surprise me if obammy asked Karzi not to do anything to them until AFTER the elections!
Wrong. according to muslim tradition Koran's are never to be burned. They would have descrecated Koran's weighted and deposited into a river.
The more important question is what’s going to happen to the President who went out of his way to apologize to Karzi???
At first I thought the headline said, “...Troops Who Burned Koreans”! Where is my mind these days?!?!?!
"Shoot straight you bastards, don't make a mess of it."
What did they do to the soldiers who burned the Bibles?
Burning a book...is not against ANY law!!
Let’s see we have a bunch of troops who were ordered to burn the crap books and now they are supposed to be punished for doing their duty? Since when do we punish our troops on the whim of a foreign government. A real President would tell them to go suck and egg and would open fire on rioters and summarily execute the a**hat that killed two US officers.
No One, No How, No Way, will ANYONE put our people in jeopardy for all this.
Bring those boys home, and tell those 7th century neanderthals to go ditch.
If anything bad happens to those boys, there WILL BE HELL TO PAY!!
We draw a line in the SAND. And hey, rug heads, this line YOU WILL NOT CROSS.
Those boys did their job. And I love them for it.
I dunno, this is first non-stupid thing the administration has said on this whole fiasco. It gives me some hope that the miilary just intends to stonewall for a while, let this die, then say its a confidential matter while doing nothing to anyone.
