"The error was inadvertent"... Obama... Yet Americans will be "Held Accountable"?...

"The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible."

World News - Obama apologizes to Afghanistan over Quran burnings; 2 U.S. troops shot dead

WTF does that mean?...

:)

peace...


It means the ONLY proper way to treat the Koran is;

It would be fun to know how many Q'uran apologists traffic here on this site. I know during college when I first read my copy of the Q'uran and then later traveled in those very centers of fervor, it was rather chilling the intolerance on the one hand, suppression of everything female on the other, and wanderers like me, adventure types, were simply not part of the human chain of being.

Wild system of belief and very creepy indeed.

It ?????

really now you are calling Obama an it?

You truly lack that little voice in a person's head that tells them whether saying/doing something isn't a good idea don't you?

OBVIOUSLY it in the sentence referred to "the person responsible" no one was calling Obama an it.

And anyway, so what if they were. I'm sure he's suffered worse than some internet doofus calling him names on an anonymous message board.
 
Apologize for what? how many heads did those rag heads chop off, how many bibles have they burned, how many women have they stoned, how many temples and churches have they burned or blown up? What a pathetic wimp we have at the head of state. To think I thought Carter was a pathetic joke, this guy takes the cake. So well educated and yet so freaking naive.
 
The Apologist in Chief just should have said they are investigating the matter and found out the details. Then, reported that the "sharing" of the Koran resulted in distributing messages and so each prisoner who wants a Koran will have his own copy, no sharing.

And later, those who burned the Holy Book will be "retrained" in handling Holy material.

Again the Apologist is to quick to act without thinking. No apologies.

What should the President have done? Tell the billion or so followers of Islam to go fuck themselves?

Frankly, the world would be a safer and better place if every Koran, every Bible and every 'Holy Book" were subjected to the test of 451 Degrees Fahrenheit. Then and only then would such artifacts which survived be truly "Holy".

You know, STFU was an option...

LOL, and your crowd would have criticized that. Maybe STFU is an option you might consider.

The Korans were desecrated by the Prisoners. They should have been properly destroyed. If there was an error, it was in how it was done. What is the proper way to dispose of a desecrated Koran? A Bible?

“Proper treatment of the Koran is a highly sensitive issue for Muslims across the world, including in Afghanistan ... Experts in Islam say copies of the Koran should be buried or released in flowing waters if they need to be disposed of, but religious leaders in Afghanistan said Tuesday that local practice is not to dispose of the texts at all.”

Many religious traditions accord their holy books the same respect as they give human remains. Most traditions say scripture and other sacred texts cannot be burned. Below, religious scholars give guidance on how holy books from each faith can be disposed of:

Good post (considering the stupidity posted on the pages above a great post).

IMO our government needs to put at least as much effort into understanding our enemies as we do in trying to kill them. The DOD commands billions, yet fucked up iin this circumstance.

The Congress needs to fund the Dept of State so that when such a situation occurs a schooled diplomat with an understanding of Islam and the differences and practices of Muslims in different regions is understood, so s/he can advise the White House and the Sec. of Def. before a Commander in the field takes a non military action without considering the consequences.

mal called-out the President for his instantaneous illogical smirky contradiction.

The interesting part is that the resident Obamaphiles cannot admit the truth about what the President just said -- even when it is quoted.
