All because we drilled their oil for them and turned over the keys,

and the enviros refuse to let us develop our own resources.

That “King” would be living in a tent and riding a camel otherwise.

The fact that he wants to burn a single copy of the Koran makes everyone on the planet uneasy. One man. One Book. One World in crisis.

Beyond bizarre isn't it that the nation cowered in fear over that burning, that soldiers would die, that Jones would be attacked, that Panthers were on the move, that riots were held?

Since Imam Rauf assured us that the Islamic world would explode if they don't start building the Ground Zero Mosque, I'm expecting a statement any second from Gen Petraeus in Afghanistan, Gates at DOD, and Obama at the WH, that we need to build that mosque or we'll endanger the troops. Any second....tick,tock,tick,tock....

Petreus decided to comment on the story when asked by the WSJ reporter

Two words...two words in the English language, "No Comment".

Why do so many on this and other websites start out each of their statements with something like “Jones is and idiot, Jones is making a mistake, etc”.

He is doing exactly what needed to be done. Showing the whole world and America especially just how one-sided and evil the Islamists are. No Christian would ever threaten to kill people if a Bible is burned, not one.

Even those who agree with Pastor Jones are trying to cover themselves with the Islamists when they use that phrasing.
