When did Petreaus endorse Sharia? I missed that one.

He didn't endorse Sharia.......but, his comments about the FL preacher's koran burning were disturbing (especially the "perhaps understandable passions" comment). From Koran burning creates new Afghan dangers: Petraeus

......."In the interview, which was posted on the newspaper's website late Sunday, Petraeus said the March 20 burning "was a surprise."

Petraeus, commander of the US-led international force in Afghanistan, deplored the burning as "hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant."

"Every security force leader's worst nightmare is being confronted by essentially a mob, if you will, especially one that can be influenced by individuals that want to incite violence, who want to try to hijack passions, in this case, perhaps understandable passions," Petraeus told the Journal."........
