Shut up, Petraus!! Have you forgotten so soon the very rights you are fighting FOR?!?!?!? >:-(
The General is only trying to protect his soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines. He doing what any good commander would do, take care of his people.
How much time in a combat zone do you have? I’m willing to bet not nearly as much as Gen Petraeus. So it seems, you need to shut up.
The pastor proved very valuable lessons, Muslim countries have no ability to be civilized and we should get the heck out of there and let them finish each other off.
We’ll buy their barrel of oil for a box of crackers.
What the General was speaking about wasnt rights. He never said the guy should not be able to do it.
Its about strategy. This move hurts diplomatic efforts within the war, and hampers any pysch warfare we have. Aside from being famous, what is the point of a religious leader burning another religion’s books?
The general has the right to say what he thinks. This is going to make his job harder. Personally I would arrest the imams who incited the riot if I were he.
I sure hope Petraus is condemning the senseless murder and decapitation of innocent people by Muslims in response to the burning.
I read that U.S. troops in the Middle East (S.A.) were forbidden Bibles (or carrying them around).
Wonder how many Bibles the Muslims have desecrated to date? Millions? Or merely hundreds of thousands. Like they desecrated early Christian and Jewish holy sites, churches, art, etc.
Liberals just lack the brain cells to figure out that our presence in the Middle East requires siding with the Sunni’s (who bottom line, are against the West) or the Shite’s (who bottom line, are against the West).
Does he condemn the beheadings in muslim countries? Does he condemn the stonings?
I am OK with the General saying whatever is necessary to calm down the situation over there, as long as he respects the constitutional rights of Americans.
However, it is also clear that the United States should be withdrawing from Afghanistan as soon as possible. There is nothing there worth saving for the US.
The Incitement Test (Brandenburg)
“The constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a State to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action.”
so we lose lives over there to give them freedom but we have our freedom taken away.
Also I never see them getting bent out of shape when it comes to anyone burning bibles or killing Christians.
Nah double standard there ARF
