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

Why does the Pravda Media at Al Reuters et al refer to him as "the Prophet Mohmmad"? They are not so honorific of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior.

Same with the horsesh!t about the "holy koran". They are not so respectful of the Bible.

F-the-media

"America RIP!!!"

This is the beginning of the OCTOBER SURPRISE we all have been waiting for! OJoker is somewhere in the WH giddy with anticipation of the destruction of America, the Christians and most of all the obliteration of Israel.

I would say put all these generals and admirals and other corroded brass on the USS Enterprise and sink it. It’s already being decommissioned, right?

[tgusa]

Interesting that JCS called the pastor and not Sec State. Oh, wait, Her Highness has to keep her nose clean for 2016.

Apparently, they’ve decided to go with the “blame it on the film” line. They are a complete and utter cowardly disgrace.

Follow the leader!

The General ought to call me first ~ fully greased down, fundoshi only, tag team match ~ my youngest and that preacher against that general and anybody he picks ~ in the street out front (thanks to the way it's organized there's only local traffic, so we can do this)

This is a free speech issue and that puke has no business wandering about attacking our citizens ~ his job is to attack the other guy's citizens and he'd best see to it or be willing to protect his honor.

Terry Jones is a scapegoat. Nothing else.

Obama toppled Momar Gaddafi’s government and let the Islamist radicals fill the void.

The death of Momar Gaddaffi was a war crime torture/abuse/murder of a POW. He was taken out “the Chicago way”.

The disinformation campaign blowing around out there buys time for Obama to press his skirt for the hole he is falling into.

[commonguymd]

scary that this is a likely scenario.

[Jess79]

Dempsey should spend his time on more important matters, like planning next year’s gay pride parade.

Frankly, I would prefer he spend his time planning how he and his fellow officers are going to stop Obama from using those 1.2B rounds of ammo on American citizens.

Also must be gay, like this general.

NUTS!

[nickcarraway]

Is Terry Jones even Christian? He seems to spend 100% of his time on Islam, and 0% of his time on Christianity. Which is his right.

Understand. But at the same time a flag officer is a man who occupies a very powerful position. When he make a phone call to a private citizen it’s not like someone from the house down the block calling to ask you to clean up after your dog.

[VanDeKoik]

The greatest power in the world reduced to calling private citizens to not speak freely and flying RC airplanes over Libya.

[swpa_mom]

this is absolutely maddening. the killers were NOT shouting about any movie or a pastor. they were shouting OBAMA OBAMA THERE ARE A BILLION OSAMAS.

ROMNEY/RYAN 2012 GET OUT THE VOTE

This morning it was reported a California realtor was in hiding over the movie. Now, they are saying it’s a pastor. Is there a link between the two, or is this just contrived?
