Karzai’s Response to Obama’s Apology: Put U.S. Troops on Trial and Punish Them By Terence P. Jeffrey February 26, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - Three days after President Barack Obama dispatched his ambassador to Afghanistan to hand deliver a personal letter from the president of the United States to Afghan President Hamid Karzai apologizing because U.S. forces at Bagram Air Force Base had mistakenly burnt some Korans, Karzai has responded to the gesture in a statement broadcast live on Afghan television.

Karzai, according to a BBC translation of his remarks made Sunday, told the Afghan people he was speaking to them after discussing the matter with “jihadi leaders,” “prominent scholars,” and Afghan elected officials, and that he spoke for the “pure sentiments” of the “Afghan nation” and the “Islamic world,” when he said: “We call on the US government to bring the perpetrators of the act to justice and put them on trial and punish them.”

At the same time Karzai was demanding the prosecution and punishment of U.S. troops involved in the Koran-burning incident, he conceded that the U.S. government had indicated that the Koran burning “was not deliberate.”

Let China, Iran and Russia deal with them. Liberals have ruined our chances over there.

This woman voices my idea of an appropriate apology.

Just pull Karzai’s security...he is one thing I trust the afghanis to “take care of”

[Jim Noble]

Just keep him off the last helicopter and let nature take its course.

[jakota]

I say good idea to punish whoever is in charge.

Let’s send them 0bama and they can put him on trial.

Kosher hams?

Mark 'em Kosher - double whammy hammy - render the land 'unclean" forever -

All we've ever had to do to win is announce - our bullets are all tipped in pig blood.

Culturally insensitive? Tough!

So's murdering our troops who've been trying to save their useless hides. Get out and leave them to their barbarian ways...just keep them contained within their borders.

IF OBAMA ACTUALLY DOES THIS, THERE NEEDS TO BE A MUTINY ACROSS ALL SERVICES AND RANKS FROM PVT TO GENERAL

The Soviets failed in Afghanistan. And believe me, they were much more ruthless than we are right now. Millions of Afghans killed. But still failed to pacify the country back in the ‘80s.

Karzai has known for 3 years that we are pulling out and leaving him to hang in the wind. As a result he has been dealing with the Taliban with Obamami’s blessings. This is Karzai’s way of segwaying from us to them. Of course it's going to cost the lives of a lot of our troops because they are located in a land locked country surrounded by enemy nations. Time for our military to read up on Xenophon's methods, they certainly worked for him and his troops.

Burning without a permit, FU Karzia, get the troops out then carpet bomb Kabul.

If Obama puts any soldiers on trial,,, there needs to be an immediate American spring to remove him from office.
Im already there,, because Obama will meekly submit to this.
Can anyone imagine what Reagan would have responded to this? FDR if it came from nazis? Truman?

Obama is a disgrace and should be removed before the election. He risks American lives every day he occupies the office.

Kosher bacon? Is it possible to label anything associated with a hog part as “kosher.”

[Popman]

I wonder if our cockroach in chief (CINC) understands he is being used as Karzin tool

[Digger]

These savages only know death and destruction. A bit of Shock and Awe might be in order. Remove ground troops and let the real Shock and Awe begin. Then take the handcuffs off the troops and let them do thir jobs, kill the enemy and break what’s left. Time to show the savages America will not be played.

Why do so many not understand this simple philosophy. What a no-brainer.

US military destroys Qurans and burns Bibles. Maybe they should just get out of the business of destroying religious documents altogether.

“I can now confirm that the Bibles shown on Al Jazeera’s clip were, in fact, collected by the chaplains and later destroyed. They were never distributed,” spokeswoman Major Jennifer Willis said at Bagram air base, north of Kabul.

The White House did not publicly release the three-page letter that Obama sent to Karzai on Thursday. However, the New York Times reported on Friday, that Karzai’s press office said two of the sentences in Obama’s letter said: “I wish to express my deep regret for the reported incident. I extend to you and the Afghan people my sincere apologies.”

FUBO!!!!

[9YearLurker]

This could be what finally makes Jimmy Carter out of Obama.

[Noamie]

Charge them with what, exactly???

It’s time to let Karzai lead his people - alone and without our help.
