Kabul, Afghanistan — Five American service members and an Afghan-American linguist were directly involved in the burning of Korans at a NATO base, an event a week ago that plunged Afghanistan into days of violent protests, according to the preliminary conclusions of a joint military investigation. “All six will be referred to the proper U.S. authorities for further action,” said an official familiar with the joint Afghan-American investigation into the Koran burnings, who was not authorized to speak about it publicly. Significantly, the five service members found responsible so far include military

“You’re probably referring to the rank and file conservative who’s increasingly unwilling to hold their nose and vote RINO. However, your disdain is misplaced. Look first to the party bosses when pulling out the knives. Top of that list is the GOPe.”
That’s irrelevant. The blame lies with those who do not vote for the nominee.
Ditto....

I have yet to see a story that reveals how the burning of these books became public knowledge. Very curious, IMO.
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."
OK! Stroke then with 30 years in coma ?
I’d have the law at my door in 2 minutes if I said what I’m thinking.
You've been here since 2004, so I assume you are joking?
Re: I’ll bet there is a good chance this administration will turn these poor souls over to the Afghans for trial.
If that happens, civil disobedience will be over the top and the evil one camping in the White House will not know what hit him. OIF vet
Unless we're under Sharia law and they didn't bother to inform us.
Or even easier, download a copy, save it to a file named “hog waller” or something.
Then simply delete it.
Seconded.
They burned Korans as prescribed since it was defaced by the insurgents.
Meanwhile I see no uprisings or killings as literally hundreds if not thousands of these Korans are used as toilet paper in pakistan by muslims.
Will Obama apologize for this as well?
I am tired of him apologizing for everything and inciting violence every time he does giving them a voice.
How many Korans were destroyed on 9/11?
Bet more than one.
That is what Regan would have asked.
But he had a pair.
Their names will be out by Sunday... and people should hang for it.

Probably not in this case... this is Treason!
