This jackass preacher has every right to burn the Koran, but his actions pose a grave danger to our troops.
//////////////
Our troops are already in gravest danger. They are in war. If Petraeus was worried at all about his troops, he would recind the ROEs that handcuff them 24/7 in Afghanistan. But instead, he attacks a preacher in Florida.
This kind of mindset, of being afraid to even perturb a mortal enemy’s feelings.... is suicidal for our nation. It is THIS WEAKNESS that motivated the moslums to attack. If they had known that we would have retaliated with overwhelming out of proportion force they would have stayed home and prayed to allah.
The actions of this preacher do two things. They are forcing into the light of day that which is our enemy, forcing the conversation, forcing the lectures etc.
Your post helps bring out into the open what funky restraints our troops have to deal with due to all the PC bull.
Now, the preacher is here...in America burning one koran...IN AMERICA. The idea that this action incites such extreme violence in a land millions of miles away should make all of us take deep pause at the seriousness of our enemy.
Burn a Christian Bible, burn an effigy of countless Presidents, burn our flag, drag our Marines through your streets, hang them from a lamppost and burn their bodies...
It is time for this conversation, but it does need to be on the level of defining our enemy once and for all...it is not about a preacher in America burning one koran.
