Obama Thinks His Apology Calmed Things Down

Afghan President Hamid Karzai recently received an apology from Obama over the burning of some korans on a US military base. Well, as far as I know, those korans contained messages that were being written in the margins so that information could be passed between other prisoners. That seems like a pretty legitimate reason to burn the korans. Would they not burn Bibles? Are we expected to believe that the Middle Eastern world would allow American prisoners of war to communicate with each other that way? I'd be surprised if they allowed any American to even have a Bible.

President Obama said his formal apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai for the burning of Korans by U.S. troops last week has "calmed things down" after the incident sparked an outbreak of violence across the country.

"We're not out of the woods yet," Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News' Bob Woodruff at the White House. "But my criteria in any decision I make, getting recommendations from folks who are actually on the ground, is what is going to best protect our folks and make sure that they can accomplish their mission."

Thursday resulted in two more Americans that have been killed in Afghanistan. Six people have now been killed over some stupid koran burning. Unbelievable. Obama thinks that his apology "calmed things down"?

I am outraged that our president is so blind. He seems to be on the side of the enemy, taking no interest in protecting his own people. If America is expected to survive and protect itself, Obama must be booted out come November.

Two American soldiers were killed Thursday in a shooting by an Afghan soldier and a literacy teacher at a joint base in southern Afghanistan, officials said, the latest in a series of deaths as anti-Americanism rises following the burning of Qurans by U.S. soldiers. 

Both were killed on the same day that the top NATO commander allowed a small number of foreign advisers to return to work at Afghan ministries after more than a week of being locked down in secure locations because of the killing of two other Americans.

These people do not understand anything but strength. An apology is appeasement. We did NOTHING wrong. If these people cannot figure out that this is a new century, where people do not get their undies in a bundle over something as stupid as a book burning, then it's time they learned.
