US Ambassador won’t rule out court dates for troops who burned Qurans.

Goodness grief. I have one question, well maybe a few. Does anyone out there think the US troops in this particular situation burned the Qurans out of malice? If they are to face charges under the UMCJ, exactly what are they being accused of? Cite please. Will Afghanistan start an investigation into those prisoners who desecrated the Qurans themselves?

I’m a nobody … not expecting any answers. From CNS News.

The U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan has not ruled out military proceedings against U.S. troops involved in the disposal of Qurans by burning them.

“If there are to be proceedings, they are going to be U.S. proceedings under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) — and I don’t think there is any question or doubt on the part of the Afghan government that that is exactly how it’s going to go,” Ryan Crocker told Fox News Wednesday night.

We know all of the Qurans were not burned. How’s the investigation going on figuring out which of the Muslims in custody at the airbase desecrated the Qurans? Will they be held accountable?

I’ve read somewhere that US officials asked Muslims on the base what they should do with the Qurans. Is that the case? What did they say?

Fake outrage again…

    Howsabout we delay those kangaroo court dates until the killers of American soldiers in Afghanistan as a result of this contrived “outrage” come to justice?

    I say we bring our brave men and women home NOW!!!??? Those Afghanis are insane. They can be bought by anyone with the money no matter what the cause.? Obama needs to step up to the plate to protect all of our brave men and women.????????? I don’t hear any apologies from Karzi for the murder of six Americans?since?this incident broke.????? They can go on killing each other over there. Let’s not waste another drop of American blood for those ungrateful BASTARDS.

    Crocker is cracked or misinformed.

    Why they’ve violated Sharia law! Before you say “what are talking about!?!?” Do a new search on this “Florida mulls outlawing Shariah, other foreign law” and see how bad this country’s InJustice system has become.

    It never ceases to amaze me at how ignorant supposed “experts” are on the Middle East.? Any sign of weakness is completely despised and opens doors wide open to attacks of every kind.?

    Don’t the powers that be?remember how subservient Iran suddently became after Bush invaded Iraq with “shock and awe”?????? But, even Bush (or maybe dear, old Rumfield) became too “nice” way too soon, and that led to perceived weakness and taking complete advantage of US and allies.? You have to first WIN and OVERCOME COMPLETELY?and then be magnaminous in victory.? This is the historical mentality of the Middle East.??Foisting western standards so quickly just doesn’t work.? They really need to go to classes sponsored by Israel (or at least the Israel of the?6 Day War mentality).

    What a crock! No one in the military does anything unless they have orders, directions, of what to do. The guys who may have actually burned any alleged Korans were just doing their job. Plain and simple. Here’s a hint: everything possible is burned on those bases. Landfills are nonexistent, a dump would just attract scavengers and the enemy — and be an intelligence leak.
    Let’s put it into perspective: important papers lands in the trash, and wind up in the garbage. Gone. Crucify the custodian? Jail the janitor?
    The elite have no idea how things work. Someone is running his mouth and needs to shut it. Starting with Bary.

      You are so right.

    Nothing surprises me anymore.?The Bible does?warn that in the last days, “men will kill you, thinking that they are performing an act of service to God”. ?Another example of this is nine eleven,?where “God” dangled 72 virgins in front of their noses, and they were thinking with the wrong part of their body.

    The religion of hate ‘n death soldiers on. I say leave them to drown in their own regurgitated 7th century vomit. Obama’s appeasement of these cowards by constantly seeking scapegoats to atone for what he perceives as America’s “sins” is the icing on the cake.?

    I’m with Rickg. We either pull our troops out or let President Obama be the Commander-in-Chief and fight the bloody war! Oh Forgot, he can bring the worthless Holder with him.



  10. Chetan on March 3, 2012 at 8:56 pm

    If this were Bush’s time, the libs and senator obama would want to charge him.? Why not charge Obama?? Where is the outrage for this president?? hmmmm…where is Cindy Sheehan and all those anti war/OWS people??? Sounds like a warcrime to me, perpetrated by the Commander in Chief
