Three days after President Barack Obama dispatched his ambassador to Afghanistan to hand deliver a personal letter from the president of the United States to Afghan President Hamid Karzai apologizing because U.S. forces at Bagram Air Force Base had mistakenly burnt some Korans, Karzai has responded to the gesture in a statement broadcast live on Afghan television.
Karzai, according to a BBC translation of his remarks made Sunday, told the Afghan people he was speaking to them after discussing the matter with jihadi leaders, prominent scholars, and Afghan elected officials, and that he spoke for the pure sentiments of the Afghan nation and the Islamic world, when he said: We call on the US government to bring the perpetrators of the act to justice and put them on trial and punish them.
At the same time Karzai was demanding the prosecution and punishment of U.S. troops involved in the Koran-burning incident, he conceded that the U.S. government had indicated that the Koran burning was not deliberate.
"We all know that regrettably some days ago an American soldier burnt our Holy Koran, Karzai said, according to the BBC translation. We condemn this vicious act in the strongest terms. The government and the people, scholars, tribal dignitaries, spiritual figures of Afghanistan, the educated people of our country all share the people's feelings... Our people's sensitiveness is right and is laudable.
"The US government says that such act was carried out because of ignorance and lack of knowledge, Karzai said. This incident happened as a result of the ignorance of the US military officer about our vision about Islam and not recognizing the Koran. It was not deliberate."
"Today, Karzai said, we had a detailed session attended by jihadi leaders, prominent scholars, speakers of both......

Bambi’s next move better be to bring home our troops. Karzai can take a flying leap.
5:00 AM MST Operation #EFAD bump
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."
“Our people’s sensitiveness is ridiculous, (not right) and is laughable, (not laudable).” FIFY, Hamid. Your sensitiveness is readily apparent to anyone who watched Daniel Pearl and Nick Berg get decapitated.
We have an idiot for President.
Apologising to these people is like encouragement to take advantage.
By now he should have figured that out on his own.
Get the hell out of Afghanistan and stop sending them money.
Stop sending money to nay of our enemies.
We cannot buy their friendship so why try?
Lemee see
Heh ... he misspelled felate you
Haw
Yeah ... Haw.
KILL THE INFIDELS !!!
how ‘bout we level what poor excuses for cities, they have, from the air, then wave the bird at ‘em as we leave them to their own devices....
In other words—beat Obama.
Hey Karzai: Eat me.
Dear God, please don’t let Obama obey Karzai on this one! I fear he will!

I’d already have Karzai in Gitmo, giving orders, taking names and filling jails.
And in Syria, all the tanks would already be full of depleted uranium and concrete dummy smart bombs.
Iranian mullahs would be hiding in the well with the 12th imam.
Saudis would be pumping oil like a muthuh.
The Mexican border would be garrisoned will 100,000 troops.
Nothing would be left afloat in somali waters.
I’d be showing how we can fight five wars at once and win them all in short order with the requisite level of violence and take shiite off nobody.
It was not Americans who desecrated the Qurans; it was Muslim and Taliban prisoners who were writing in the margins of the Qurans to send messages back and forth.
Writing in the Quran was the desecration, but it was done by the Muslims themselves.
A desecrated Quran is required to be destroyed by burning or burying. All the Americans did was to identify the desecrated Qurans and process them in accordance with the Muslim rules for disposing of desecrated Qurans, i.e., burning.
Why havent the true desecrators, the Muslim and Taliban prisoners, been handed over for beheading.
The only think stopping him from conceeding to Karsai wishes about the trials, IMO, is this would be the last nail in his election campaign.
I still think he should go Lying Johnson’s way but go him one better, he should state he has decided not to run and then state he will go to Afghan and stand trial as he is the CIC and in charge.
For once I would agree that we should quickly get US troops out of this hell hole and let it be dragged back into 6th century Islamic barbarism. I feel sorry for the families who have lost loved ones in this war and for the Afghans who actually wanted a new start in a free society. I especially feel sorry for the girls and young women who be reduced again to the state of cattle and persecuted or killed for having attended school or having any ideas contrary to 6th century Islam.
So Hamid, which was it — “vicious” or “not deliberate”? Can’t be both.
If I download a Koran app on the iPad and then delete it, would that have the same effect?
