| NATO (Allegedly) Offers To Put Koran Burners On Trial |
| 2012-02-25 |
| Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Koran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai's office said on Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident. It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed. Karzai had earlier accused a U.S. officer of "ignorantly" burning copies of the Koran, in an incident that has deepened anti-Western sentiment in a country NATO is trying to stabilize before foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014. Demonstrations have drawn thousands of angry Afghans to the streets, chanting "Death to America!" amid violence that has killed 11 people including two U.S. service personnel. "NATO officials, in response to a request for the trial and punishment of the perpetrators ... promised this crime will brought to court as soon as possible," Karzai's office said in a statement. |

| #5 Might have been a good plan to take over Tora Bora and stock it well and set up supporting fortresses and then occasionally announced koran burning exercises. Then take care of the self-selecting waves of orcs that assault the stronghold. |

| #3 Has anyone considered the fact that this might have actually been a Taliban Psychological warfare (PSYWAR) event from start to finish? |

| #1 FOX NEWS AM repors that the violent, anti-US mass protests occurring as a consequence of the Quran burning incident is now spreading into PAKISTAN. * DEFENCE/PK/FORUMS > GINGRICH WANTS AFGHANS TO APOLOGIZE TO AMERICANS, argung that as POTUS Obama's first duty is the protection + security of the US, to include US Troops servinf in Afghanistanl, hence was no need for Him = USA to offer any apologies for the burning of Qurans used by detainees to smuggle hidden meesages out their cells. MORESO AS THE DETAINEES THEMSELVES AS MUSLIMS WERE VIOLATING ISLAMIC LAW + DEFILING THE QURAN BY WRITING SAID ALLEGED HIDDEN MESSAGES ON THEIR OWN HOLY BOOK. versus * SAME > NATO SOLDIERS {French + Canadian] DON'T WANT TO WORK WID AMERICANS, because it is believed that their Soldiers are being put at unecessary risk by certain Amer actions or policies. versus * SAME > GROWING USE OF SHARIA BY UK MUSLIMS, as separate or independent from traditional UK Public Processes WHICH ARE BEING INCREASINGLY IGNORED. Reminds me once again of ACTOR-COMEDIAN ROBIN WILLIAMS + POST-911 "72 VIRGINIANS" SKIT = [paraph]"THE FRENCH + OTHER EUROS [ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CATEGORICALLY UNDENIABLY ....@etc.] HATE AMERICANS, + DEMAND THEY ALL GO HOME, UNTIL THE GERMANS ATTACK ACROSS THEIR BORDERS, WHEREUPON THEY SUDDENLY LOVE AMERICANS AGAIN". |
