Karzai’s Response to Obama’s Apology: Put U.S. Troops on Trial and Punish Them By Terence P. Jeffrey February 26, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - 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.”

Since when is burning trash, under orders from a superior, punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice?

I’m getting ready to fry up some pork chops for dinner. Care to join me?
I just find it funny that some here foaming at the bit about raining pork munitions down on the muzzies’ heads can’t eat `bacon bits’ themselves.
Muzzies are semites too, like Jews.

Don’t let Karzai anger you, he’ll end up road kill at the hand of his own people soon.

Don’t worry, Obama will find out who those troops who supposedly burned those Korans and prosecute them for hate crimes, or, he’ll turn them over to the Afghan’s for trial.

It makes sense. Karzi knows the Americans are on their way out. He needs to establish some cred with the locals he will be left to deal with on his own very soon now. No matter how America responds he will use the incident to show that he’s no running dog American lackey.

Karzai is nothing but a State Dept b*tch, who BTW is rumored to be bi-polar.

Afghanistan would best serve the FREE world by being turned into glass.....bomb them back to the Stone Age (although, they're not far from there, as it is).

Elimination of Afghanistan's poppy farming (the only source of income for that country), would sure eliminate a lot of the opium trade, world-wide.

Likewise, closing the Mexico border to the USA, we could cut off deliveries of about 90% of the cocaine, and then, de-foliate the marijuana farms in CA, which produce the bulk of the marijuana in the USA today.

But then, what would all the "Messiah" voters do for fun?

This response requires a 2 PART solution:

First: PULL OUT every single person, truck, gun, water buffalo, tent, EVERY piece of US & NATO gear.

SECOND: Turn whole area into glass-—including Pakistan.

We collectively need to apologize to each of our allies and to each American soldier for voting the Pretender into the White House and then we need to atone by voting him out in November.

Since Obama took over the management of the Afghan War, 37 months ago, 1,836 Coalition troops have been killed. During the 87 months under the Bush Administration, 1,069 military were killed.
During the election campaign Obama was preaching that we weren’t focusing enough effort on the Afghan War and he bragged that he would.
I think he NOW is trying to get out of this war before his Administration is responsible for the deaths of TWICE as many Coalition troops in Afghanistan as was Bush. At the historic monthly average of fifty Coalition troop deaths under Obama, he has six months to get out, longer if he lessen their combat exposure.
The election day is eight months away.

I think that capturing feral hogs in Texas and releasing them in Afghanistan would be very cool. The Taliban would probably be kept pretty busy trying to kill off a bunch of hogs.

Absolutely agree.

The water buffalo are certainly worth saving, muslims and the quran? NOPE!

Kosher ham is still food & wasting that mush food is disgraceful ,instead of ham drop thousands of used tampons. It will drive the mad mohamadans nuts .

It’s a rude trick the Europeans have figured out to keep the muslims from buying real estate to build mosques on ,plant pig parts & used tampons on the lot & post pictures of it being done . The muslims depart like the area is radioactive.

What an absolute shame. We should just pull out of there and make the place uninhabitable. Turn it into a parking lot. If we behaved like they do at every insult to us they would all be dead. They are taking advantage of our decency. If we were the evil people they say we are they wouldn’t dare do this.
