Obama apologizes to Afghanistan over Quran burnings
resident Barack Obama has written a letter to his Afghan counterpart apologizing for the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO military base in the country. Two U.S. soldiers were also shot dead Thursday at a protest about the desecration of the holy books.
A man wearing an Afghan government soldier's uniform killed the American troops and wounded four others at the demonstration in Nangarhar province, officials told NBC News.
There have been violent protests daily since it emerged on Tuesday that Qurans used by detainees held at the Bagram military base had been burned. The incident has become a public relations disaster for foreign forces in Afghanistan....
Go ahead and apologize. However if you shoot our soldiers or advance on one if our military bases you must be dealt with accordingly. Something the president does not have the backbone to do. Would you point a loaded weapon at a policeman and not expect to be shot? And rightly so.
I agree with you on this particular subject matter Jim Lincoln. The Holy Bible is the only holy book so why apologize for burning the Koran which is not a holy book but is Satan's book?
"Barack Obama has written a letter to his Afghan counterpart apologizing for the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO military base in the country. Two U.S. soldiers were also shot dead Thursday at a protest about the desecration of the holy books."
Ah the politically correct sniviling of the Liberal President.
But of course there will be no pc apology from the Afgans on the two soldiers murdered.
Why don't we give the place back to the Taliban - who are going to get it anyway.
