Are these the same two or two additional? When is Barrack Insane Obama going to apologize to the families? Or has he ever. Too busy apologizing to our enemies?

The only thing these muslim beasts understand is strength. Whenever America acts cowardly they take it as a sign of weakness and attack. Obama knows this. He is complicit in the murder of these American soldiers.

That was my first question. Are these the same two, or two more? The story is EXTREMELY short, but I’m afraid it looks like two more.

“He says NATO is investigating Saturday’s shooting. . . .”

The other two were killed earlier, of course. I don’t know if it was also a Saturday, but there seems to have been two separate incidents. A story in the NY Times gives a little more detail, but also very carefully refrains from saying that this is two MORE of our men.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/26/world/asia/afghanistan-koran-burning-protests-enter-fifth-day.html?_r=1

I notice that the Old Gray Whore also fails to mention their deaths in the headline.

And I see that NATO has been delegated to “investigate” it. Evidently Obama doesn’t want to take any credit.

God rest their souls.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Sorry, it’s in the NYT headline, but not the link. I think they changed the headline, probably.

Muslims claim a hertitage of being “sons of Abraham” through Abraham’s begetting of Ismael with the servant woman Hagar. In fact, Muslims have no claim on Abraham or God’s covenant with Abraham since Hagar was cast out into the wilderness with her son. Muslims are good for three things: breeding, protesting, and killing each other every chance they get. They are a cursed group.

These are two more, US officers (a Colonel and a Major, I believe) who were shot and killed in a government building.

Does anybody remember the helicopters lifting people from the roof of the US Embassy in Vietnam? We might be seeing the beginning of a repeat.

Why is this bastard not impeached or immediately arrested for treason by our military?

Can one even fathom FDR apologizing to Hitler? Truman apologizing to Japan? JFK, LBJ or Nixon apologizing to Communist North Vietnam???

Bill Clinton blew up Christian Serbs and didn't apologize!

Yet we have a Communist Dictator straight from hell apologizing to EVERYTHING Muslim and urinating all that is sacred to our country. And what's worse is the sick libs defending him! Where is Code Stink? Why can't ACORN have a regiment in Afghanistan???

Right. But they are very reluctant to actually say so. The NYTimes story is more detailed, but still doesn’t make it clear. Deliberately, I’m sure.

When Bush was President, there were daily body counts, including civilians killed by Muslim terrorists. When a Democrat is President, there is only the barest mention.

As another poster has already said, the worst thing you can do in a case like this is apologize. It is a sign of weakness, and invites more cowardly killings.

And I am pretty sure that the correct and “honorable” way to dispose of a damaged Koran is to burn it. So, why the hell didn’t Obama say that, instead of apologizing. He knows all about it, as he demonstrated in his discussion of why he ordered bin Ladin’s body to be thrown into the sea on the day he was killed. I’m sure he was taught as a little boy how to dispose of a damaged Koran respectfully.

We did nothing wrong even by their rules, but all they want is an excuse to kill infidels, and Obama gave it to him by admitting our guilt and apologizing. Which was deliberate, I’m sure, since he knows and approves of the Sharia rules.

Afghanistan is basically hopeless. It would be one thing if this was just a few people looking for an excuse to riot - and no doubt, there is some of that here. But the Afghan people are simply far too backward to help. The only way to secure this country and really move it forward is to either rule with a iron fist and be as brutal as their worst elements are, or eliminate every potential troublemaker on the spot immediate (which would be tens of thousands of them or more). We won’t do either. In the end, Afghanistan’s problems are that the Afghani people are by and large flat out hostile to anything not-Islamic (typical of any location where Islam is dominant), completely backward, and hopeless as a nation till a few generations of globalization has passed which perhaps might moderate them. Afghanistan has lots of resources and would be a wonderful land to hold if it weren’t for the actual Afghani’s who are largely useless.

I remember.

Here from the BBC is Gen. Allen's statement on the retreat:

Gen Allen said he condemned the attack, adding: "We will pursue all leads to find the person responsible. The perpetrator of this attack is a coward whose actions will not go unanswered."

He added: "For obvious force protection reasons, I have also taken immediate measures to recall all other Isaf personnel working in ministries in and around Kabul."
