General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with Pastor Terry Jones by phone on Wednesday and asked him to withdraw his support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests - including one that ended with the death of America's envoy to Libya

The Pope in Drag...
can we do that to Mohhamed...
To a muslim, defiling a Koran is worse than killing a non-muslim. I have no use for any Muslim. The only moderate muslim is a a ex-muslim.
By the way on Shep’s show just now they finally mentioned the Ambassadors body being “taken” to the hospital but won’t show the photos.
They also just mentioned that this was a planned attack in advance on both those places.
A bit Orwellian, isn’t it?
How about a top military officer telling the Islamofascists that WE ARE AMERICANS, and YOU DON’T ATTACK OUR EMBASSIES?!
And then fire off a few daisy clusters over the mobs?
You’re defending him? You should cancel your FR account and disappear.
It's called ‘submission’ it's what islam, like all tyrannies, demands of all that it conquers either through force or finance.
I am SO sick of the appeasing LOSERS that are blaming Terry Jones instead of the islamic beasts that are doing this. GROW A PAIR AND TELL THESE FREAKS TO GO SCREW THEMSELVES.
The Gen. needs to review the advancement oath that he took when he first came in the service as a 2 LT and that he had to re-take every time he moved up in rank, then STHU.
This smells of a phone call from Obama or Panetta. Panic.
The good pastor should tell the general to go pound sand. The first amendment allows one to speak freely on matters of religion.
Of course that would take some guts and leadership so I won't hold my breath waiting for that kind of response.
Welcome to FR! Now go pound sand.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!
Terry Jones said “Macaca”.
The protests were planned in advance. It was a 9-11 thing, not “horrible words said in America”.
The government is still infested with anti-American leftists.
ACTING UNDER COLOR OF AUTHORITY, WHAT CONGRESSIONALLY PASSED LAW ARE YOU OPERATING UNDER, GENERAL?
In other words, did you or Congress strip a citkzen of his First Amendment rights?
Free speech is being picked off one sound at a time before our very eyes. We are being methodically worked over. To react in the streets is the goal, so that we can be branded, then marginalized and silenced.
We know exactly what is going on, but we have no Charles De Gaulle, no plan, no underground to expose the communist streak running openly through our country. Our people have apparently succumbed to the bait and switch.
If this is true....
No brains....no balls...no backbone....
What a excellent question. Heck did Obama call the family’s?
Mention of this short and impossibly badly acted film was just a pretext for already inflamed Muslims to go on a tear.
The subject of the movie was the almost totally psychotic behavior of the person known as “Mohammed Ali”, an earlier example of a Charles Manson or a Jim Jones of Jonestown, Guyana, fame. Today’s diagnosis would probably be “schizophrenic paranoia”, which would go far in explaining some of the bizarre behavior of later years.
If 3 years ago, I had said that Obama's military would threaten US citizens on free speech, I would have been labeled an extremist and a racist. Now it actually happens and no one even blinks?
