Reuters ^ | Wednesday, September 12, 2012 | Phil Stweart and David Adams

Posted on 09/12/2012 12:09:03 PM PDT by kristinn

General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with Pastor Terry Jones by phone on Wednesday and asked him to withdraw his support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests - including one that ended with the death of America's envoy to Libya

Exactly, you fricking boot licking Obamabot Pu$$y, worry about your Marines.

Jesus, this takes the cake. I am pissed now and I should not be. When you get pissed they are winning.

How can our Military boots follow these people into battle. Gotta be near impossible to charge the guns with these leaders. I could not do it.

I still don’t know which “film” is being blamed. The one I saw had nothing to do with Jones as far as I know.

I want to know WHO claimed it was some film that ticked these nutsos off. Was it guessing by the media after the fact? Was it an official that suggested it. WHO said the rioting had anything to do with any film?

I’d say General Martin Dempsey is islam-o-phobic.

Given his position and power I don’t think even a private call on his own time would be appropriate.

Here’s an extremist suggestion for Dempsey. How about they kick the Muslims off the bases (they have been murdering officers and lower ranked soldiers at will) and attack the jihadists for try? See how powerful they are and where their almighty rage gets them? Kill Afghan political leaders who object? It’s called war, not p.c. pattycake.

Get the soldiers the fubo out of Afghanistan if you are into playing diplomatic ass kissing patty cake human sacrifice at the altar of jihadists, a$$hole.

Gosh, I despise treason.

Don't be ridiculous. Of course we have Freedom of Speech which is why General Dempsey had to ASK the idiot pastor to stop endangering American lives and did not ORDER him to do so.

You've been here since 2003 and haven't learned a damn thing!

So you think the 1st Amendment should be amended to specify who and who can not can be offended?

It's ok to offend Christians because they don't riot and kill people, but can't offend muslims because they riot and kill people.

P.S. - Generals can not order civilians to do anything except under marshall law.

You mean killing terrorists with drones and spiking the football over OBL’s may influence how they feel about us? Don’t ever underestimate the impact of the movies.

It doesn’t matter which film or what gets them upset, the important point is that it is our fault.

why didn’t they contact the guy who made the film?

The supposed filmmaker , Sam Bacile is not Israeli and that is not his real name. The only guy who is talking in named Steve Klein, he lives in Riverside County and has a group called Concerned Citizens for the First Amendment, he once ran for Office as An American Independent Party member. He is also associated with the Church at Kaweah in Fresno.

” Klein also has ties to the Minuteman movement. In 2007, he sued the city of San Clemente for ordering him to stop leafleting cars with pamphlets opposing illegal immigration.”

Klein also states he he leads anti-Islam protests outside of mosques and schools, and because, he said, he is a Vietnam veteran and an expert on uncovering al Qaeda cells in California. He apparently was involved in the Protest against the Mosque in Temecula

I thought it was about defending the Constitution not the Qur’an.

This is the beginning of the OCTOBER SURPRISE we all have been waiting for!

Exactly what my DH said. But, is it going as planned, or will it backfire?

May God protect us from the evil within.

I was thinking the same thing. Wish this was posted sooner.

Again.

Gen. David Petraeus also reached out to Paster Terry Jones regarding his antics to inflame Muslims. This is not the first time the US military has asked Jones to back down.

You bring up a good point there. What about the movie about the raid on bin Laden that the 0bama administration has approved and cooperated in making? Shouldn’t General Buttkiss call up 0bammy and tell him not to inflame Muslim sensibilities?

You shouldn't be telling anyone to go pound sand!

I get the impression you would like to see the pastor arrested, just like the liberals at MSNBC suggest.

You would fit right in with the European mindset!

I’m offended by Michael Moore’s movies. Can I get a Cabinet Member to “ask” him nicely to stop making bad and offensive movies?
