Karzais Response to Obamas 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.

Your wish, and it’s a good one too!!
Soon the fighting season will be in full swing. I hate to think of the scenarios that could materialize.
Thanks for the ping!
Not fair!
Here I am eating a bowl of pintos bean for supper - altho’ jazzed with sauteed onions and portobellos left from b’fast. Some good,
But I LOVE pork chops - however, must be bone in. Not just for added flavor but chewing on a pork chop bone - heaven.
But I do have a homemade pumpkin pie for desert ;o)
“Feeeelings. Nothing more than feeeeelings.”
Yes - in his first 2009, and his murderous ROE that give the Taliban the advantage - we lost twice the number of troops than in the highest previous year.
In 2010, it TRIPLED.
2011 had more than 2010 - and the press was quiet.
And the politicians wee quiet.
And the American people were watching Dancing With the Stars
And VERY FEW on FR wanted to hear about it.
And I am fed up with the lot.
(I’ve noticed that another layer of FR’s - ones who DID care, (like SandRat and JVeritas) are gone. Wish I knew where. I would join them)
Now THERE’s a damnable good idea. Solves the problem in Texas AND in Afghanistan.
But I don’t think the Tallies would be busy hunting and killing them - they’d be running From them and any land they ‘contaminated.’ That would clear those valleys and mountains out right quick.
The pigs breed like crazy. They would have they country overrun soon.
The pigs breed like crazy. They would have the entire country overrun soon.
Used tampons. Now that, I like.
Just read where a tribe of muslims couldn’t figure out why their women weren’t getting pregnant. It was found out that they were only anally penetrating their women and were viscerally repulsed when they found out it was penetration of the vagina that would impregnate.
Because the vagina was unclean.
I tend to think that if Bammie gives in to this lunacy...
A military mutiny will not really be necessary.
Articles of Impeachment will do the job nicely.
JMHO...
Semper Fi...
Dumping money and American lives in that pit is stupid. Cut our losses - move on to people who matter - maybe use the money we save to help fellow Americans - or pay down the debt or drill for oil...
I'm tired of spending money on ingrates living in hellholes of their own making...
You should follow Michael Yon’s updates on Facebook. Basically he’s saying we have to pull out immediately before our boys will take the law into their hands....
How nice it would be if they came to the same end...
The sheet heads need to receive, via air freight, the “gift that keeps on giving”. Plutonium! Allahu fubar!
FUB0, you grabasstics POS!
US says it’s steadfast in rebuilding Afghanistan
By ANNE FLAHERTY, Associated Press 13 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AP) The top U.S. diplomat in Kabul and A CAMPAIGN ADVISOR to President Barack Obama said Sunday the U.S. isn’t rethinking its commitment to Afghanistan after violent protests left more than two dozen people dead, including two Americans shot inside a government ministry.
U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and ROBERT GIBBS , OBAMA’S FORMER PRESS SECRETARY, said they believe Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s fragile government could collapse and the Taliban would regain power if the U.S. were to walk away.

Gibbs????enough to make you sick to your stomach!!!
