President Barack Obama has written a letter to his Afghan counterpart apologizing for the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO military base in the country. Two U.S. soldiers were also shot dead Thursday at a protest about the desecration of the holy books.
A man wearing an Afghan government soldier's uniform killed the American troops and wounded four others at the demonstration in Nangarhar province, officials told NBC News.
There have been violent protests daily since it emerged on Tuesday that Qurans used by detainees held at the Bagram military base had been burned. The incident has become a public relations disaster for foreign forces in Afghanistan.

If anything, Obama got these troops killed by allowing these radical Islamist to conduct themselves the way they do. If they want to live in the stone-age then we should accommodate them.
Best thing we could do is get them out of OUR country and KEEP them out.
APOLOGIZING?! Shouldn’t he be threatening the other side if another troop is killed, they would be met with a massive bombardment!? What is becoming of this country!?
So when is BHO going to apologies for the Bibles he ordered burned when they arrived in the middle east, so those islamic thugs wouldn’t be offended.
“They have to kill them (Westerners), beat them and capture them to give them a lesson to never dare desecrate the holy Koran again.”

So Obama apologizes in his attempt once again to appease the terrorist.
If Obama killed Osama, then didn’t he also burn the Korans too?
If you need to dispose of an American flag, the correct thing is to burn it.
What is the correct way to dispose of a desecrated Koran, which has been desecrated by criminals who wrote things in it? I’ll bet if you asked an Imam, he would say, “Burn it!”
Maybe the rules are different for Korans, but I doubt it?
Why the hell don’t we just say that we respected them by disposing of them in the proper way? Or, since this is being done in Afghanistan, why not get a Mullah to come in and supervise their proper destruction.
No, Obama has to APOLOGIZE for doing the right thing. Let me see, wasn’t it Obama and his military perfumed princes who ordered all those Bibles burned in Afghanistan?
Any chance of using Afghan as a staging point is gone. COIN is an utter failure with the Afghan people. The sandpaper theory is laughable too because the cost of this operation is not justified. A lot less expensive to emulate Israel's “screening” process to prevent domestic terrorism.
This is not all on Obama by the way. “Compassionate” Conservatism seemed to engulf some failed strategic measures of trying to appease Islam. Not doable, just pick up a Quran dumbass State Department drones.
I wipe my a.ss with pages of the koran,will B.O apologize on my behalf.
As soon as our Muslim-in-chief pulls out US troops Afghanistan will revert to a Taliban run hell hole ...”
Respectfully, the Taliban has been a red herring all along. The Pakis allow the country to run amok and they have nukes, just like China and NoKo.
We will end up facing off with the Pakis and (hopefully) India will be there if needed. They need us. The Pakis hate the Indians as much as they hate us. All hell is breaking loose and there is nothing we can do about it but wait. The “Arab Spring” will be a nuclear winter with the Pakis getting involved...and they will eventually.
Afghanistan won’t matter...it will continue to be a moonscape retreat for the AQ and Muslim Brotherhood and assorted terrorists until the Pakis are brought to heel. Of course, our best chance of doing that was to have built a Texas sized green zone in Iraq from which to fight, so the Indians didn’t matter.
Given his loose grasp of the way this is going to play out, this Ahole in the WH is going to bring an awful lot more death to our door before he’s through.
This morning, on Imus, Bernie McGuirk said that these people live to be offended.
And that is your commander in chief watching your back...Lousey sob
POTUS minus TU = Barry Barack Soetero Obama
Best thing we could do is get them out of OUR country and KEEP them out.
Do you not understand? It is too late for that.
We have NO option but to either destroy billions
or destroy the foundation of their belief.
I for one would rather destroy their belief
but if it comes down to my survival then we
will have to destroy them.
There is no haven from their ideology.
We are their enemy, they have told us time and again.
Why won’t people believe them?
There is no coexistance with them, the choice
is submit, live in subjugation, or die.
These are the choices they are giving US!
Please wake up.
Who pulls Pakistan’s leash?
Pakistan.That was my point. sorry if I wasn’t clear about it.
