VIDEO: Pentagon (Petraeus) Response to Quran Burning
pentagonchannel.mil ^ | April 6, 2011 | General David Petraeus

Posted on 04/08/2011 3:54:42 PM PDT by ResisTyr

General David Petraeus on quran burning:

"Ambassador Sedwill and I have just released a statement on behalf of NATO and ISAF forces in Afganistan. In that statement we condemn the action of an individual in the United States who burned a holy quran. That action was hateful, it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful. And again, we condemn it in the strongest manner possible."

Seems like the general is carrying the water for 0bama on this one. Why didn't he condemn the murdering of innocent people due to this event?? he condmens a book burning, but not the murder of 20 or so human beings. Wonderful job, general. (not!)

(I know there was a thread addressing the Wall Street Journal article about this, but i didn't see this video posted anywhere on that thread.)

(if video does not appear, refresh screen and you should see it)

Petraeus needs to be Cpurt-Martialed for treason and aiding the enemy

If Muslims kill people over some Christian preacher burning a book....the problem is with the Muslims.

Petraeus has taken the side of the Islamic Terrorists on this.

It will motivate the Islamic Terrorists more that a US General is kowtowing to Islamics...than any Christian in the US burning a Koran.

Dear islam,

You must accept other cultures. Multiculturalism is your friend. Deal with it.

Sincerely,
These United States of America

don't have the stomach for the video. Just curious, were they bowing down and waving a white flag?

Bring ‘em home.

But the war criminal Obama won’t. The Democrats don’t want to fight this war, but don’t want to pay a political price for walking away.

What political price? Who wants to occupy and rebuild countries that will remain Islamic and bent on Jihad? You relly believe there is political movement to achieve this end? The only people i see interested in this are the NWO types - Kissinger, CFR, TLC, BG - the western elite.

If someone burns or defaces a Bible will Patraeus condemn that in a nationwide media event?

I seriously doubt it.

If a Christian goes off and kills 10 people because the local museum is showing “Piss Christ”, are they going to blame the “artist”?

Dorothy Rabinowitz had a great editorial on this today in the WSJ:

There is likely more than one individual doing something to a Koran. What about throwing it in the trash?

From the WSJ:

"Most Afghans learned about the Quran burning in Florida only when Mr. Karzai on March 24 (4 days after!) condemned the act as "a crime against the religion and the entire Muslim nation," called on the U.S. and the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice and demanded "a satisfactory response to the resentment and anger of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."

So who stirred it up? General Petraeus has certainly won Karzai's heart and mind. /s

You would think that having our female troops wear muslim hijabs instead of K-pots would have been enough to placate them.

Petraeus has gone native.

Speaking of NWO types..has anyone found the date of George H W Bush’s infamous New World Order speech just a little too coincedental for comfort? (September 11, 1990 - 11 years to The Date)
