U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a letter to his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai, apologizing for what Washington says was the unintentional burning of the Korans, after Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.

The Koran burnings ignited anti-Western fury. Thousands have taken to the streets and at least 27 people have been killed in the protests. Two other American soldiers were shot dead on Thursday by an Afghan national army soldier who joined the rallies.

“adding that the attacker’s actions “will not go unanswered”.

It will be answered...by another apology from our spineless, POS p-resident

I just watched a film clip of General Allen apologising to the Noble people of Afghanistan.

Turned my stomach.

Have we gotten an apology from Hamid Karzai yet??? Thought not.
Our bravest and best are being killed. We honor their sacrifice and pray for their families, friends and comrades-at-arms.

The talibans hollering for their f...g koran, the same who blew up hundreds-year-old Buddha statues.

The same Muslims who burn Christian churches in Nigeria with women and children INSIDE, who burned the Torah scrolls and destroyed Joseph Tomb in Israel, who kill and rape Christian girls in Egypt; this scum of the earth don’t deserve an apology from anyone, LEAST from the president of the United States.

Would now that worm occupier of the White House apologize to the families who lost their sons, brothers, husbands or fathers in Afghanistan, where he SENT them to die, killed by fanatic mob?

Why should he when it's all Bush's fault?

... can we try napalm now?

It's never easy to admit when you're wrong, but I have to admit I was. I thought we could go in, stabilize the country, put the beginnings of a government and infrastructure, and get out. I didn't think we'd ever make it Connecticut, but maybe a Kazakhstan.

Afghanistan is populated with some of the worst people on earth. It will NEVER be anything even approaching some semblance of a civilized nation.

In retrospect, we should have told the taliban they had 72 hours to give up OBL, or we'd nuke Kabul. Assuming they didn't capitulate, give them 48 hours or we'll nuke Khandahar and Herat. Then 24 hours and we'll strike Jalalabad, Mazir-e-Sharif, and Kunduz. And so on and so on until we were relatively sure OBL was dead, or at least persona non-grata to any nation on earth.

I think it's been proved beyond reasonable doubt that muslims cannot be civilized and the only way to deal with them is to bring down the fires of hell when they step out of line.

If the jackass-in-chief is going to bow and apologize to someone as corrupt as Karzai over something so stupid as the burning of paper with words on it, and our soldiers are killed over it, it is definately time for our guys to pack up, raise the middle finger and leave that piece of s*** country to its own self-destruction. Obama is acting just like Lyndon Johnson did, turning it into ‘Nam, and we all know how well that went...

Yes, but who would control spitting crowd of San Francisco.
Problem is within US. Every President is afraid of San Francisco liberals.

“muslims cannot be civilized”

Of course they can’t-they still live in the Dark Ages of the late 7th century. When Russia was almost as uncivilized and out of touch, Peter the Great warned the people he would “drag Russia kicking and screaming into the modern world”, and proceeded to do so. Since no leader in Trashcanistan has the balls to do that and resists our every attempt to do so, it is time for us to just get the hell out. If any of their minions attack us again, trash their infrastructure back to the stone age like my parents told me the US and their allies did in WWII...
