Last week, four American soldiers were killed during Afghan rioting over the burning by U.S. troops of several Korans. Several days ago seven Army Special Forces soldiers were wounded by a hand grenade attack on their compound by Afghani's who were upset with the burning of several Koran's, and buoyed by President Obama's apology to to Karzai for this event. And now late breaking news is two more American soldiers have been murdered. Great job Mr. President!
It is not usually mentioned in the legacy press, nor in President Obama's apology, that these Korans were defaced by prisoners using them to write secret messages to fellow prisoners. In fact, the U.S. military brought in local Muslim Clerics and they were upset that fellow muslims would deface the Koran and that burning them was the only way to deal with these defaced Korans.....much like how we handle a old and frayed U.S. flag.
To add insult to injury, yesterday Obama declared that his apology "calmed things down."
Jumping on the "apology" bandwagon is the young lady in the video below, although she takes quite a different direction.

Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Outraged
I'm pretty damn outraged on several issues this morning. One that President Obama apologizes to Afghan President Karazi about the US Military burning a few Korans, and that Obama is trying to escape any blame for the rising gas prices (it's Bush's fault don't you know).
On the same day that saw two American soldier murdered when an Afghan soldier turned his weapon on them at a base in eastern Nangarhar, President Obama apologizes for the U.S. Military burning a few Korans that were not only defaced by Muslim prisoners, but whose religion Islam calls for the burning of defaced Koran's much like American's do with old, tattered U.S. Flags. Unbelievable.
By the way,....where has the President been since Iran gave out a death sentance to an Iranian who converted to Christianity and refuses to denounce Jesus Christ? Obama silence on this incredible travesty of human and religious rights is telling, but not suprising since the Left has been trying to get Christianity out of the U.S. for several decades now, so why stand up for it over seas? Anyone remember Obama saying "This is not a Christian Nation?"
Then we have the Imperial Clown in Chief spinning and twisting the facts about rising oil and gas prices to avoid any responsibility......Gas prices have doubled since Obama's became President. Oil drilling has increased but only on private lands, like in North Dakota, despite this Administration's efforts to derail new drilling. Drilling on Federal lands, incidentally owned by the People and not the Adminstration, are way down as permits for off shore drilling are down and hard to get. Yet this
Administration, from President Obama, to his court jester press secretary Jay Carney, deflect blame and call for more (wasted) money to go to alternative energy sources. What?!?! Does the name Solyndra remind anyone of anything?

Burning Korans is Just Plain Stupid
Don’t know about the readers of this site, but I think Pastor Terry Jones,..you know the guy who wants to burn Korans? Well, he’s an IDIOT.
How can you call yourself a Christian and a Christian Pastor at that, and what to burn another religion’s theological doctrine? Add the fact that Jones’ actions are stirring up a whole separate group of Idiots,…...namely uneducated Muslims in places as far away as Afghanistan and therefore placing service members at a greater risk, then you have to wonder his motivation.
I could care less about how Muslims feel about this country, but I don’t think unnecessarily insulting these mutts is a good tactical decision,…it just recruits more vest bombers for them.
The latest on Pastor Jone’s after claiming he had an agreement with Iman Rauf to not burn the Korans if the planned Ground Zero Mosque is moved someplace else.
Florida Pastor Terry Jones plans trip to NYC over Koran flap
"I am just a man who is trying to do what God has told us to do," he says
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — As thousands of Afghans protested a tiny Florida church's plan to burn the Muslim holy book, the church's pastor said on NBC's TODAY Show Friday that he won't follow through on the plan if he's able to meet Saturday with the organizers behind a mosque planned near ground zero in New York.
It wasn't clear if the Rev. Terry Jones meant the burning would be halted indefinitely or just for Saturday.
Imam Muhammad Musri, the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida, told CBS TV's "The Early Show" he had a commitment for Jones and himself to meet in New York with the imam there. Later, NBC News reported that ABC's "Good Morning America" show would be flying Jones to New York for the meeting.
Jones said he has made contact with Musri. He has not made direct contact with Iman Faisal Abdul Rauf.
"No decision has been made to whether we will burn or not burn Qurans," he told NBC. "It is under serious conserideration, but at this this point no decision has been made."
On the TODAY show Friday morning, Jones blamed Musri for the confusion surrounding the Quran burning plan's status, and said he felt "lied to."
Earlier, Jones and Musri had disagreed sharply on the terms of the agreement.
Jones said Thursday he would call off the planned burning of Qurans based on a deal negotiated with the president of the Islamic Society of Central Florida that the location of a mosque planned near ground zero in New York would be changed.
But Musri said he was clear on Thursday when he told Jones that he could only set up a meeting with planners of the New York City mosque, whose leader said he had spoken to neither the pastor nor Musri. Jones responded by opening the door, if only a crack, that he would go forward with his plan on Saturday.
"We are just really shocked," Jones said of Musri. "He clearly, clearly lied to us."

Anti-Muslim rhetoric flares near 9/11 anniversary ..Jones' church, which has about 50 members, is independent of any denomination. It follows the pentecostal tradition, which teaches that the Holy Spirit can manifest itself in the modern day.
Meanwhile, one protester was shot dead and at least 11 wounded outside a German-run NATO base in northeast Afghanistan Friday. Demonstrations later spread to the capital, Kabul , and at least four other provinces.
Asked if he feels responsible for the shooting death of a protestor in Afghanistan Friday, Jones said his church did not pull the trigger, and that the incident "reveals the true nature of Islam."
Jones said he and his followers do not condone violence and that they were surprised by the level of anger. He said radical islam is more dangerous than even church members ever thought.
“I am just a man who is trying to do what god has told us to do,” he said.
