Burning the Muslim holy book "was hateful, it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful and again, we condemn it in the strongest manner possible," said Gen. David Petraeus, who heads the U.S.-led international forces in Afghanistan.

General Petraeus needs to be hauled before the House Armed Services Committee and told to keep his big mouth shut concerning domestic U.S. affairs. It is none of his business or concern what some private American Citizen does with a koran. He also needs to be lectured about the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and what it means, something he is supposed to be protecting/defending.

IMHO, Petreaus is a disgrace to his commission when he makes statements like this. If he had any morals or convictions, he should have retired from the Army when Obamaramadingdong was elected. He is just as big a political whore as Defense Secretary Robert Gates is!

When it impacts operations on the ground in Afghanistan it very much becomes his business.

"This was a surprise," Gen. Petraeus said. The Quran burning in Florida, he added, was "hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant."

Gen. Petraeus's ranting gives aid and comfort to the enemy. His words portray a hatred of the freedom of U.S. citizens, and mock the U.S. Constitution Petraeus swore to defend.

And this isn't the first time Gen. Petraeus has spit on the U.S. flag with his arrogant, anti-American talk (see Ben Stein's comments in the American Spectator from last September).

Gen. Benedict Arnold Petraeus is a disgrace to the uniform of a United States soldier.
