President Obama said his formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Korans by U.S. troops last week has "calmed things down" after the incident sparked an outbreak of violence across the country.
"We're not out of the woods yet," Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Bob Woodruff at the White House. "But my criteria in any decision I make, getting recommendations from folks who are actually on the ground, is what is going to best protect our folks and make sure that they can accomplish their mission."
The president's comments came just hours before a formal White House dinner to honor Iraq War veterans, some of whom have also served in Afghanistan and may be redeploying there to assist ongoing U.S. military operations. Woodruff was the only journalist invited to attend the dinner.

I now longer have words to describe the dreadful grotesque bufoonery of this figure drowning in his own pool of self-infatuation, this manchurian muslim, this enemy agent that currently occupies the WH.

Any words that come out of his mouth transmogrify reality and become the truth.

And I’m sure the Cretin-in-Chief has the statistics to back this up.
They’re on the shelf adjacent to those hockey stick global warming charts.
This idiot is past stupid.
He defines a whole new level of cretinism.
And Harvard gave him a law degree.
Emphasis on “gave”.

Bammie needs to leave town tonight. To start a World-Wide Global Apology Tour. With stops in every turd-world muzzie hell-hole. Bowing and scraping to his overlords as he apologizes.

If Obambi’s apology calmed things down, then how come two more of our troops were killed today?
To: mojito
Two more of our guys were calmly shot last night.
We can't get out of there soon enough for me. Its the least that can be done for our guys given their grossly incompetent (at best) CinC.

Let Obama face the bullets in Afghanistan rather than the peons he sees facing them now.
Maybe he will change his tune.

This is Obama’s mode of operation. Put a problem before him, and he’ll mess it up, and then claim:
“While what I did didn’t fix it, the problem was more serious than expected. So, without my actions, it would have been worse”.
The lapdog media loves it, and eats it like it’s gravy train. The public is too busy with their smart phones to be bothered with this nonsense.

I suggest local, weekly TGIF Koran-a-que’s using a koran to cook (or at least start the fire for,) some pork sausages or pork ribs.

From yesterday...
Naturally no conservative would ever have apologized for the Koran burnings.
And while Biden, Hillary or Pelosi would have apologized, would this question have been asked of them?
I don't think so. No one is legitimately claiming that Pelosi is a Muslim. Or that Hillary believes in Islam. But Obama??? Any rational person understands that B. Hussein is/was/and always will be a muslim.
And that's why we worry that he'll turn over US soldiers to a NATO or Islamic court to be tried.

When it comes to golf, it mirrors most other things he does, he’s not very good at it.
