no no not for electing BO so all you supporters can get down off your outraged high horses this has nothing to do with BO but we " accidently" burned Korans/Qurans in Afghanistan from ABC The Link "Troops on the U.S.' largest base in Afghanistan have inadvertently burned Qurans and other religious materials, triggering angry protests and fears of even larger demonstrations as news of the burning spreads. The books were mistakenly thrown out with the trash at Bagram Air Field north of Kabul and were on a burn pile Monday night before Afghan laborers intervened around 11:00 p.m., according to NATO and Afghan officials. " it goes on to say workers doused the flames with their jackets and mineral water Honestly this seem to stupid to have been innocent but maye i am giving NATO too much credit. maybe no one kew it would make muslims angry <sarc> One wonders how they could have gotten mixed up with anything and then one wonders HOW did the afghan workers know there were korans burning in a heap of burning material
Shiner Don't let a muslim know you think their korans stink. You could be targeted for a fatwah alongside that Dutch cartoonist and Saldie.
I made a joke about Shiner saying something stunk but if you read the ABC article it really makes no sense that korans could ' accidently" get bundled and them oh gee afghan workers heroically saved them enough to send them all around the country as ' evidence" the west is evil and hates muslims
Ag with Kids, The Taliban ARE from Afghanistan! How are they occupying the country when they are natives??? You are suggesting that we are liberating them from themselves. Please. We cannot, nor should we, go into other countries and attempt to free them from themselves. We never should have been there, we shouldnt be there now, and yes those people hate for legitimate reasons. We need to leave. As for supporting our presence around the world, this has done little good. Its a waste of taxpayer dollars. When there is war, we vote for it, fight it and end it. And then come home. The war on terrorism is about as effective as the war on drugs.
must be bush's fault. i imagine the millitary got lazy, were cleaning out some **** before they bugged out and decided to just burn all the books to get rid of them. those people are freaking nuts over there.
I think they said hey American Liberal Journalist, I have a story for you, but first your shoe is untied, he threw the Koran on top of the fire, just on the edge and then threw his american given bottle of water on the flames and went after the book, slightly burning his hands and claiming they were thrown out with the trash. Really people do still believe these people and their antics? I just can't understand how people forget the purpose and reason we went to Afghanistan and Iraq. Most of you probably believe it was over oil. I also love the new liberal stance, it has definately changed since Vietnam, don't understand why troops our deployed buy I respect and love them all the same. No you don't, deep down you despise all of them and think they are baby killers. How can you tell someone you support them but don't believe in their mission? It is one thing to be against war and how stupid it is but to tell someone you support them and not their mission that had been passed through Congress almost unanimously, at what point do you become a team player? Joint Resolution To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States. Whereas, on September 11, 2001, acts of treacherous violence were committed against the United States and its citizens; and Whereas, such acts render it both necessary and appropriate that the United States exercise its rights to self-defense and to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad; and Whereas, in light of the threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by these grave acts of violence; and Whereas, such acts continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States; and Whereas, the President has authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
Revisionist history. We did not have another major attack. Therefore, it was unnecessary to go at all.
I think the appropriate question is, would we have a problem with someone invading a USA that somehow regressed a thousand years, served as a state sponsor of global terror groups, ruled according to draconian and murderous religous legal statues, featured and highly illiterate populace, was steered and controlled by a neighboring failed state, and whose primary economic output was opium poppies. I would freaking hope to hell someone invaded that USA and kicked out the psychotic, murderous factions that were ruining everything for everyone both inside our country and abroad.
THAT is why we invaded! It was right to do it then and it's still right today. We screwed up the war from the start. Every single one of those Taliban basterds should have been killed. They, like the nazi's before them, have a completly F'd up view of the world and believe they are the only ones that should be in it. We have become so scared of these people that South Park can't even make fun of Mohammed, and they make fun of EVERYONE!
Tap the brakes Msdw.... A bunch of Saudis who were in this country for months or even years, who were being tracked by US intelligence agents and being trained here to fly, albeit not very well.... are the ones who flew planes into the WTC. It wasnt the "Taliban" who attacked us. And besides, weve been there for 10 years already... WTF. Its time to leave. We cant stay there forever.
