If General Petraeus truly did urge the government to ban quran burning, then I have an issue with the General. I respect him I admire him. He’s a patriot....

Are you forgetting this is the same General who ordered that Bibles be burned so as not to offend the muzzies? This is the same General who supports the repal of DADT - therefore supports having gays in the military.
Eff this jack-off. He should be relieved of command.
This is what happens when even a good military leader gets too friendly with totalitarian scum. The filth is bound to rub off.
Yikes! What a slippery slope argument! That’s why I never bought into the anti-flag burning amendment, because what’s next? I guess we have an answer to that right here.
“General Petraeus sent a statement out to all news organizations yesterday, urging our government to ban Koran burning”
I haven’t seen this statement.
Can someone locate it?
Lindsey, you are a wuss. So, our enemy will be made a protected class? You can kill them, just don’t burn their book!
Outlaw Koran burning and you will see a lot more Koran burning, guaranteed.
“Who is Linseed’s boyfriend these days? “
Any chickie-boy with a buttbore > a .410 shell!
I think a SC townhall meeting is in order and he presented with 3,000 krispy korans. Then let him explain why the new ROE are not a problem with him. This isn’t about the troops but caving to the enemy. If it were about our troops, the DADT wouldn’t have been repealed.
Graham hiding behind Petraeus’ skirts.
Clearly our mission to win the hearts and minds of barbarians is failing. It was doomed to failure from the start.
we don’t overcome our enemies by restraining ourselves, we overcome our enemies by making sure they fear us.
The General is willing to carry the water for the fool in the oval office and it seems Graham is a willing accomplice
Good post....
Petraeus needs to be Court-Martialed for his statements....that was giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Lindsey needs to be impeached for supporting Islamic Terrorism....and his supporters need to be outed
The President commits our military to action without consulting anyone at all now. Isn’t that the definition of a military junta?
Point well taken. Thanks for the re.
Ok. Consider me appropriately thumped on the top of the head.
Mrs. Graham, that's why the Founders, in their great wisdom, chose to have our laws made by elected representantives rather than military commanders. If Lindsey wants a military dictatorship, I'm sure she'll be well-received at her new home in Pakistan.
The mad Muslims would never find out about this if our media didn't report it hundreds of times a day. If we are getting rid of the first amendment, how about we just have the military shoot any member of the press who reports a Koran burning.
What a conflicted dork.
We want to push the Muslim world to tolerate Christianity better. It’s pretty hard for us to stand up for freedom of religion in Islamic counties when you can’t stand up for it here.
And that is just what he’s doing by not supporting freedom
of speech.
It’s no good begging the muslim world to tolerate christianity, it’s not in them, tolerance comes with
respect and respect comes from fear, Islam doesn’t fear
us any more but there are plenty of people in the west
who are afraid of Islamic violence to the point they
won’t make a wave, that’s dhimmihood, subservience in
the making.
It’s unamerican.
Not impressed by mr.Graham.
Graham is a funtioning embecile.
“If I had my way, that wouldn’t be free speech.”
He still doesn’t get it. What a pompous buffoon.
“I don’t believe that killing someone is an appropriate reaction to burning the Koran, the Bible, or anything else, like I said Sunday;”
Love that moral equivalence there Linnie. Like Christians go out and slaughter people over things like this.
Idiot.
Graham is now trying to hide behind the Petraeus skirt after attacking freedom of speech in our country.
So the question comes to mind, why are we in Afghanistan trying to democratize a bunch of tribal folks who will kill UN personnel and behead some with blunt knives for something done by some nobody in USA? The original reason was pursuit of Al Qaeda leaders and removing the Taliban regime from power. Well, Taliban no longer rules from Kabul and Al Qaeda leaders are all in Pakistan. So declare victory and get our brave soldiers out of there. The scum in Afghanistan do not deserve their help.
“To be a Christian, you don’t have to prove you’re a Christian by burning the Koran”
What a moron to even state something like this.
What rights are you willing to give up in order to please a radical religion?
Would I give up my right to free speech under threat of violence from a radical religion?
Would I give up my right to vote under threat of violence from a radical religion?
Would I give up my right to protection from unreasonable search and seizure under threat of violence from a radical religion?
Would I give up my right to a trial by jury under threat of violence from a radical religion?
Would I give up my right to keep and bear arms under threat of violence from a radical religion?
Where does it stop?
Where does this end? How many more things are going to happen in the world that is going to incite violence against our service members overseas?****
A better question is what doesn’t incite these savages to bloodlust?
Bring our service members back home and let these 7th Century pagan tribesmen slash one another’s throats (which is exactly what they’ll do when they run out of infidels). This decade long experiment in Islamic nation building is growing a little stale.
“To be a Christian, you don’t have to prove you’re a Christian by burning the Koran.”
No, but maybe we should consider making the President-elect burn one before he takes office, if he refuses to show us his birth certificate.
