Presumably when we apologize for the tens of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis and when we stop touting our exceptionalism while simultaneously comparing ourselves to supposedly inferior nations. AKA…never. 

The real question becomes….why do conservatives support behavior more likely to result in the more deaths of US soldiers?

So Charles Krauthammer thinks we should be on the same level as Syria?  I guess that’s why he supported Bush.

Are you nuts? Read this via Andres Serrano’s wikipedia -
“His exhibitions have often inspired angry reactions. On October 5, 2007, several of his works were vandalized at an art gallery in Lund, Sweden by people who were believed to be part of a neo-Nazi group.[3] On April 16, 2011, after two weeks of protests and a campaign of hate mail and abusive phone calls to an art gallery displaying his work, orchestrated by groups of French Catholic fundamentalists, approximately a thousand people marched through the streets of Avignon, to protest outside the gallery. On April 17, 2011, two of his works, Piss Christ and The Church, were vandalized. The gallery director plans to reopen the museum with the damaged works on show “so people can see what barbarians can do”.[4]“

They probably never will apologize. They specialize in whining that they are being picked on and demanding apologies – usually for stupid overblown things. This is not one of those. Burning someone’s bible is always wrong.

The whole point is to be the bigger person and do what is right because it is right and not in expectation of anything. If we start demanding reciprocal apologies, we become them.

I guess I missed the memo that was sent out stating that America is the country that people need to apologize to when they kills Christians.  What country do we apologize to when we persecute and kill Muslims?  Most importantly what country needs to be apologized to when atheists are persecuted and killed everywhere else?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe this is proof that we’re better than them.

The Right NEVER feels there’s ever a need to apologize to anybody for anything.Comes from that small mindset/narrow view of the world around them and their constant droning of being persecuted for the same.When your mindset,along with a mega echo chamber,and the same ilk feeding off each other never acknowledge their mistakes, you have truly obtained PIOUS BLISS!!!!

 I wonder what America would think if…Russia or China invaded our country started bombing all over the place. Killing thousands in all 50 states. Would you not demand an apology from the head of the government? Or would you be okay if a PFC were the one that apologized. Sorry. I personally would want their Commander-In-Chief to do that apologizing. Wonder what America’s view would be if that occupying power were to go into Christian’s Churches and homes and take their Bibles down to the center of town and burn them. I’m fairly certain Christian Americans would demand an apology.

Why do we need to apologize? We first are wrong to still being in Afghanistan. The President is the Commander-In-Chief and when something as offensive as this happens, it is right for him to be the one to apologize.

We have killed 1,690,903 Iraqis and 48,644 in Afghanis. We should apologize for killing so many people in their country’s. Yes, I know about 25 people have been beheaded. But I must say for the amount of regular citizenry that we have killed, they are being quite reserved. I am damn sure that if our country were occupied, there would be killings daily by our “partisans” trying to rid the nation of the occupying power. And they’d kill each and every day that they could, like anyone with common sense would. You would have these people be represented by Vidkun Quislings. Pierre Laval, and others that did the bidding of Hitler, they were executed for treason.

When the Americans used Kerosene Napalm on a city of 250,000 burning the skins off of Iraqi women and children while they were alive. That should have been considered a War Crime Against Humanity. Did Bush apologize? Not really but he did have to fess up to the British when they found the empty canisters on the ground by their troops.

And there are many around the world that would try Bush as a War Criminal. Why do you suppose that he doesn’t do a European Tour? Several of the nations there have charged him with War Crimes Against Humanity, and if he set foot on the soil of those nations he would be charged.

*Just a thought regarding your first paragraph.. You only need to think back a week to remember the Contraception question and Obama had to change his policy because American Catholic and Fundamentalists bitched or I’ll say whined regarding the policy.

When did Krauthammer become a spokesman for Christianity?

For a country that was founded on the concept of freedom of religion, Some in America show a profound disrespect for the religion of others.  By now, we should all know how to respect each others religious beliefs.  It seems Afghanistans love their God more than we love ours.

Checked out Andres serrano’s on widipedia as you suggested: Man he is one hell of an ugly gay atheist with a cancerous tumor growing out of his lip.  I wonder what kind of perverted life style he has lived. 

And his Piss Christ photograph is so puerile, please he is laughable, who would riot for that worthless POS photo, no doubt taken with his Brownie Hawkeye.

When did the US become a spokesperson for Christianity?

you forgot about the millions of lives destored too..
think of all the babies killed by our bombs..
i guess the gop loves killing babies..
sad–very sad..

what are you talking about–
conservatives love killing muslim babies and mothers…we spend billions just to bomb and kill children..so we can have cheap oil…
don’t u get it?
oil, gold and blood…that is what america is for the conservative movement..
oh ya and killing muslim babies..

The Arab-hating, anti-Muslim, pro-Israel Jew Krauthammer will look for any opportunity by which to advocate something close to the total extermination of the 1.5 to 2 billion Muslims on the planet (that should be interesting to those paying close attention).  Even using Christians in that advocacy.

Of course, most of the positions held by a neoconservative, which Krauthammer is, are contemptible.

Many estimates of Iraqi deaths number in the hundreds of thousands. I used to teach in Dubai and had students come up to me after class–students who in many respects were no different than American kids–to show me pictures of dead relatives that had been “collateral damage,” at times because of Americans. Have that happen to any community for long enough and it’s sure to breed deep hatred of the occupying army.  

Show your support for the genocide of Christians by voting Democrat in 2012. 

 ????
WTF are you talking about?

I must have missed the memo where Muslims apologized for killing thousands of Americans in a single morning.

I’ll strongly believe your question was rhetorical, because I also strongly believe that you don’t really expect a member of the RRR–the fidiot [sic] to whom you were replying— to know WTF he or she is talking about.

For you idiots, he is talking about the violent persecution of Christians in Egypt, South and North Sudan, and Nigeria, where people are being killed as if you care, and the democrap president doesn’t mention it because he’s apologizing for korans. That is WtF he is talking about, so go and get an education before you continue to expose yourselves as ignorant fools.

I guess you don’t care either that hundreds of people are being killed every few weeks in four or five countries in North Africa, because you’re a christian -hating democrap and who cares about those people any way. Is that it?

Are you referring to the liberation of four Muslim countries from brutal dictatorships? Or did you miss that memo too? You sure do seem to miss a lot of memos. Maybe you’ve been fired and you just didn’t get the memo.

And yet these students never blamed the Taliban terrorists for putting their cities and villages in harms way by hiding right next to schools and mosques.

I wonder what America would think if another country answered our call to beat down a ruthless dictator who was brutalizing and torturing the people and destroying everything? What if the Khemer Rough was going to come in and murder one third of the population, but another country stopped them? Then what?

Those are some amazing numbers you’ve cooked up there. Do they get bigger every time you tell it?

I guess because we like resisting dictatorships, be they communist or fascist or islamocrat.

No, the democraps love letting other people kill babies and doing nothing about it.

The students were Iraqi, so your point isn’t really applicable. The Taliban is in Afghanistan. Many Afghans have a long history of hating the Taliban but it’s sort of hard to say no to a group of gun-toting Talibani who show up to your home one day, especially when you live in poverty and don’t have the means to fight against them. 

 Krauthammer is an atheist. Show me the elimination rhetoric from Israel that matches what Iran’s head of state proclaims at every opportunity.

You are an idiot.

Did you want 1 Muslim to apologize or all 1billion of them in unison to come to your door or go on tv at the same time and yell “America we are sorry?”  If you just one one there have many Muslim that have individually express remorse. I know because in 2001 they were all over my freaking TV saying how sorry they were this happened and it was not indicative of Islam yadi yada.   But if you need all 1 billion of them to apologize than I can’t do that because that would be dumb. 

Okay,  but even given the double standard, is the USA going to be the kind of nation that doesn’t apologize for unintentionally offending a whole religion in such a dramatic fashion? We have a sense of honor/dignity not shared by Islamist extremists and we should stay true to it. Also, there is a glaring practical advantage of apologizing. Hopefully this will settle the protesting and keep soldiers safer over there.

I’m just going to go out on a limb here and say that Islamic nations should apologize to the US for persecuting and Christians when and if said Christians are Americans. Kind of the same standard we would have for Canada or Andorra.

Otherwise, why in the hell would they owe us an apology?

This really isn’t that hard.

no the cons like spending trillions in government money to kill babies and their mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters..
 for profit..
sad–very sad..

No, we just like being the controlling military dictatorship.

As usual it’s only seen as persecution when it’s happening to Christians.  Just like it’s only class warfare when we fight back.  Typical myopic thinking from the “American exceptionalism” mindset. 

Imagine for a moment if the South Park creators had done a parody musical about Islam? The New York intelligentsia would have skewered them for their insensitivity. And what do you suppose would be the reaction if an “artist” created a piece called “Koran buried in fecal matter”? It seems to me that the modern left thinks that it’s nuanced and provocative to criticize your own cultural traditions while noble and courageous to defend other cultural traditions. And if you happen to like your cultural traditions you are terribly naive provincial and unsophisticated. Really, you should take the time to ask why you are so quick to criticize the United States military, patriotism, and Christianity while jumping up to defend a religious tradition that seems grounded in the 14th Century. But the larger point here is that there is an absence of reciprocity. And meaningful relationships built on trust and mutual respect require following reciprocity norms. It is absurd that we will profusely apologize to Muslims more than once for burning a religious text when they are largely reluctant to acknowledge and apologize for burning PEOPLE. They are ready to riot over a book getting burned, but they can casually shrug if one of their brethren sets fire to someone’s mother. And that to me is profoundly troubling. How could a book (especially one that is mass produced in the millions) be more important than human life?  If U.S. soldiers are discovered to have killed innocent civilians they face court-martial and discipline. What do you think happens when member of Hamas shoot Western civilians in Lebanon? Would you be surprised to learn that they throw them a party?

It’s almost as if the neocons enjoy inciting violence against our troops.

South Park creators did a musical about Mormonism. It’s not a “your” cultural tradition, it’s a “their” cultural tradition. The reason we’re “defending” a religious tradition grounded in the 14th century is because we’re in their country and when we’re in their country, we should respect their cultures & traditions just like how we expect visitors to be respectful of our cultures and traditions. Whether its rational or not to kill people over a book burning, we knew this was going to happen if we burned that book. General Petraeus even stated that burning the Qu’ran could endanger the war effort when Terry Jones wanted to burn Qu’rans last year. The troops are in a dangerous situation as is, so why make the situation more difficult for them?

Comparing to their reaction – they are going on a murdering rampage and don’t give a damn about apologies.   You can bow down to them and apologize until you are blue in the face – they’ll still cut your head off.  We’d all be better off if you manned up and kicked them in the teeth when they come at you.  Sooner or later they’ll either apologize, go away, or just die.   

I’m being overly harsh, but there’s a point to it.  I believe there’s a heck of a lot of mannerisms and social interaction instincts common to humans and animals. Heck, even a fish we have adapted on its own to interact with me when I sit at my desk, it plays with me and a cat we have that likes to help feed the fish and watch it be happy.  The simplest of minds may not be capable of the higher functions humans can do, but simple things like introductions, play, aggression, defense/offense, observation, offering/asking assistance – creatures of almost all types are capable of those simple interactions.  Humans, while intelligent (supposedly) do those same things largely the same way.  If an animal thinks it can dominate you, and its motivated to, it may try.  Unless you are accepting of being dominated you need to make it clear to the animal that you will not be subservient to them – you have to stand up to them.  Once they understand they generally won’t challenge you again, especially if they see you as a friend.  Humans are the same way.  I’ve dealt with bullies all my life (since 2nd grade anyways), and almost never had a problem with them because while I’d be quick to defend those who needed it I never went  looking for a confrontation, instead I’d be as friendly and respectful to them as anyone else, as long as they didn’t bully in my presence or someone I was aware of.  It was important I remain consistent and respond when necessary, but also important to respect them and not challenge them just because I thought they were jerks.  I treated them the way I expected to be treated, which meant if I didn’t like them I’d largely ignore them.  If they ever tried to bully me or someone I knew of I’d get in their face and put a stop to it.  Behavior wise, that’s really the same thing you’d do with an animal that occasionally misbehaves.  We are all animals, we all have the basic instincts, and (most) can be effected by appropriate corrective action.   Its not an insult to be herded like cattle  - it happens whenever we go to a live performance in a crowded venue.   Point is if someone acts  like an animal treat them like one.  The rest of the time treat them like you’d want yourself treated by them.

You really didn’t get the point about the musical and the artist. “You” are not in “their” country taking fire so it is not imperative for “you” to defend their religion. As for respecting their culture and traditions that is a rather novel concept for an occupying country. In fact, it has been fairly standard for occupying armies to be somewhat insensitive to the traditions of the country they occupy. You see there’s a qualitative difference between  a tourist or someone on a student visa compared to say an armored battalion. Maybe someday you can research about the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Here’s a little spoiler: “They weren’t very nice. And could care less about offending the locals.” Perhaps we shouldn’t be occupying at all if we want to be sensitive to the feelings of others. As for “knowing” that this would happen, it  doesn’t distract from the startling irrationality of the response. Also, you assume that the troops will somehow encounter appreciably less danger if lunatics refrain from burning their holy book. I would submit that the Taliban theology is so entrenched that any appeal to reason and respect would do precious little good. You know they stoned people to death in public squares? And we aren’t talking a few centuries ago. We’re talking maybe 15 years ago when they were in power. But I am glad that your taking a break from denigrating the troops to show concern for them.

Do you know what happened to the Soviet Union as a result of occupying Afghanistan & being dismissive & insensative to the Afghan way? They got their butts handed to them by the Afghan people & were sent home in complete disgrace.

 Well we tipped the scales more than a little by arming the afghans. Nevertheless this is precisely why occupation is just a really bad idea. Do you honestly think if we are really nice and polite it is going to end any differently for us?  Afghanistan is a horrible country to occupy. The infrastructure is lousy, the economy is based on opium, the population is divided up into warlords and clans and the mountains make it possible to maintain an insurgency indefinitely. Whether it is next year or in 5 years we will withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Karzai regime will collapse.

Krauthammer is an atheist.

Krauthammer describes himself as Jewish  [from Wikipedia]

You are an idiot.

ROTFLMAO!! 

Your post has been submitted in nomination to the Most Ironic Pulled-Out-Of-Anus Content for 2012.  It’s going to be a winner!

It’s a book.  Apologies get you nothing in the Muslim world. Force is what they understand. Overwhelming force.

“… as usual, Muslims — not al-Qaeda terrorists, but ordinary, mainstream Muslims — are rioting and murdering over the burning (indeed, the inadvertent burning) of a book.
Yes, it’s the Koran, but it’s a book all the same — and one that, moderate Muslims never tire of telling us, doesn’t really mean everything it says anyhow.”

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/291925/why-apologize-afghanistan-andrew-c-mccarthy

Islamic nations will apologize for persecuting and killing Christians when they have a standing army in Christian a country.  Krauthammer, ever zealous to promote the conservative view, fails to understand what it means to be an occupying force.

Tens of thousands? How about hundreds of thousands.

It’s nice to see Tucker being rewarded with facetime for being a good little FOX lapdog the last few weeks on the Daily Caller.

Enjoy your treat, doggie.

It’s not even that simple. Before the US went in, the Taliban were the beneficiaries of the resistance from the native mujahadeen, the warlords, the drug warlords, & the pushtoon from there & Pakistan. Those Taliban were religious hardliners, not fighters; they oppressed the civilian population, the urban working class, villagers & peasants, particularly through exploiting women & children, through enforcement of religious extremism. But their oppression was enabled by others, the worst part of that being their practical alliance with the warlords. The current iteration of the Taliban is a conflation of what’s left of that extremist group, plus fighters from the muhajadeen era, & pushtoon, with the warlords playing the middle with the help of official US bribery. It’s why the Taliban can’t be defeated: they’re not really a group, so much as they are a name to organize & fight under; their membership is fluid to volatile, & highly seasonal with the ‘fighting seasons’. The Taliban are not so much the enemy of the U.S. as they are the enemy of any order other than extremist Islamic. 

But nonetheless, we’re staying, & it’s obvious why: just look at a map.

Iran & oil.

Not really: Iran & oil.

No: Iran & oil.

Whos being persecuted? The stupid animals are mobbing outside an army base screaming DEATH TO AMERICA. and no one is shooting them…

I would kinda like our “allys” to give us a break and send osama bin laden to us gift wrapped instead of putting him up in a walled house with free porn

“We have killed 1,690,903 Iraqis”. Even I don’t go that far. We killed lots, probably in the several hundreds of thousands, but Iraqis killed more, & even more than were killed by bombs, bullets & fire, were killed by starvation, disease & war-associated pollution. Arguably more would have been killed in a civil war, but there’s a civil war simmering as it is, & it could well be that more than that total will die from here on until the end of that civil war.
We had options: don’t go in & let the course of history unfold for one – but I really think the Bushies bought into the whole mythology spread by the Iraqi Council, because it’s what they wanted to think, all the way back to when Cheney was Secretary of Defence under Poppy Bush & that bunch convinced themselves that the reason their proxy war against Iran failed is because Saddam Hussein was double-dealing them (which of course was true, in the sense that Saddam Hussein was never a fully bought-&-paid-for U.S. asset, like we deluded ourselves into believing we had set up in Egypt, Libya & Syria). Another option was to go in & get out & let the civil war that was inevitable take place … except there was all that lovely oil & the Saudis, with all their lovely oil, didn’t want us to leave.

Except when they serve corporate intrest, like Saudi Arabia, Chile or China. Those dictatorships are just fine.

The numbers aren’t cooked up; there are serious studies that support them. 

Wingers continue to think this was a justified invasion, either for the original stated reasons or for the back-up bull shit stories the Baby Bush administration made up about humanitarianism. We’re going to pay the price for Bush’s War for a long, long time to come.

In 1980 Vietnam invaded Cambodia to overthrow the Khemer Rouge and beat down the ruthless dictator. America in return, increased sanctions on Vietnam, and sent weapons and supplies to the KR who were camped out in Thailand. Is that the shinning light on the hill that St. Ronnie was talking about?

Religious people willing to kill for their book rather than live for it.

No, what he’s talking about is his own stupidity (and yours) for believing that nonsense.

No, actually overwhelming force would not succeed in a war against Islam. If you think that, you are not much of general.

I disagree with Charles. The attacks by Copts are perpetrated by Muslims but the military. The Nigeria case is perhaps more accurate but still you cant generalize all Muslim countries with a Christian minority

I don’t think Iraqis and Afghans much appreciated our “liberating” them against their will. And aside from Libya, what’s the fourth Muslim country you think we “liberated”? FYI, Egypt and Tunisia got rid of their dictators without our help.

I suppose that’s why conservatives thought we should’ve continued propping up the dictatorship in Egypt, and that we shouldn’t have helped over throw the dictatorship in Libya.

There are no “Taliban terrorists” in Iraq, and the death toll there is entirely America’s fault since we’re the ones who did the invading without provocation.

When will Krauthammer stop warmongering? When will he stop calling for the deaths of brown people in the Middle East?

There is no question that some Islamic people react very badly to perceived insults to Islam, and we will all agree that such behavior is bad. But we are more civilized than that so we do not engage in violence over book burnings, and if we accidentally do that, we apologize. 

 So, when does the US get any of that Oil?

The willful blindness of muslims and islam is fun to read here..  time will fix your wagons..

I can’t wait to read you people blame native British for being intolerant of muslims subjugating Brits in the not too distant future..

 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2105835/Mob-200-youths-pelt-police-bricks-smash-shops-anger-going-sex-grooming-trial.html

Nothing is sacred on South Park. I’m confident it has poked fun at Islam. I bet you thought it was cool to urinate on dead Muslims. Yeh. That’s the Christian way to treat your enemy. The Muslim religion is not the enemy. Conservatives can’t see the difference between politics and religion.

Show your support for diplomacy by voting Democratic. Who wants GOP (God’s Own Party) with the power to nuke Iran. They hear voices.

 Let’s just see how concerned you are, Boob, for the persecuted.

How about showing us evidence of your posts when the Israelis were whining to the world that they are victims of the Palestinians, but it seems that Palestinians were doing all the dying.  The ratio is something like hundreds of Palestinians killed in the intifadas compared to one or two Israelis (usually soldiers responsible for indiscriminant killing).

And yet the Israelis white to the world that it is they are the victims doing the dying, although the numbers don’t show that at all.

What about it, Boob?  You really into helping the persecuted?

 Obama will soon be apologizing for being an American and for the existence of America.

If we invade countries and burn their religious book at a US airbase, we may want to apologize, if only not to alienate the public there. If this is too much for you, Krathuhmer, or whatever you name is, remember we have no right to be there in the first place with our guns, tanks and fighting jets. Krauthamer is one of these people considered knowledgable, for some reason. For those of us who know the MIddle East, that is laughable. He knows as much as my cat about the place. So, if you don’t like the heat, get out of the kitcen (war). You expect poor people whose families and home you have been destroying for over 10 years to apologize to you?!Stupid.

Kraut Hammer sounds like a 5 year old.  ‘But when will they apologize?!?’  Baby.

KrautHammer my friend they might apologize they might not. We are the United States of America.  We are on the side of the Good, and Fair and Just  (that is the idea anyway).  So we take the high road even if the other fellow doesnt.- its called the moral high ground.  you gain more influence, power and respect by taking the moral high ground than by being small and petty. 

Im sorry if your member is small and petty and you feel you have to compensate but we are the USA and we are neither small nor, I hope, petty.  Now go cash your paycheck for shoveling drek – you’ve earned it…

The narrow sightedness they demonstrate. The apologies are not for the 7th century rubes in Afghanistan, it’s for the world at large that this does not represent us

2ndly, when you’re in people’s country occupying their land and forcing policies on the population that are in your interest and nothing else & that are in fact against the occupied people’s interest with demonstrably huge collateral of innocent lives of men, women and children, I think you can’t blame them if they work towards forcing the occupier to leave them and their caves alone

Bottom line, GET THE HELL OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY

& Krauthammer, Egyptian ‘leaders’ literally constantly apologize & express regret after every incidents between Muslims and Christian Qupts regardless of who stirred up said incident. The Egyptian situation is covered wall to wall on easily accessible BBC and Al Jazeera & one needs not make up facts and empty easily fact-checkable slogans to excuse reprehensible acts by rogue solders

In fact, Krauthammer and Newt’s stance is what contributes to the increase in ‘wetting appetite’ for irresponsible behavior by reactionary impressionable young solders and in turn the increase in counter-acts which contribute to deaths of their own comrades.

Newt, Tucker, Rush, Krauthammer and others have blood on their hands

When will israel apologize for stealing arab land?

 Krauthammer is absolutely right. The american gov’t is simply being apologetic out of fear. They don’t want to see psycho islamists walking the streets with a suicide vest on or retaliating by killing american servicemen. Oh yea they already did that. Let me give you americans a simple lesson what is going on here. First of all I am canadian.  First of all the war in Iraq was a mistake. That has been determined after the fact. You still respect the servicemen who fought and died in that war.  The war in Afghanistan was and is not a mistake. We don’t want anymore 911′s or give these religious islamist fanatic fundamentalists the ability to carry one out or even think about it.
The only reason christianity or judeaism is attacked is because the general populous or deep
believers in those faith don’t issue fatahs, salman rushdie death threats or go around with a big
bomb strapped to their chest believing in a false god known as allah.
Islam at its fundamentals is a false religion that preaches death to all other faiths. It is a religion
born out poverty, wantoness and desperation.  In essence convert or die. The religion was created in a desert as an affront and challenge to chrisitianity. Apologies are only issue to the whackjobs simply out of fear. I say screw the fear. No apologies and stomp them out once and for all, because
you can bet if they see a crack in the door they will try to stomp us out. They’ve already proven that with 911, terrorist acts around the world, attacks on christians and things such as western honour killings. Don’t fear what can destroy you. Destroy it first.

Steve is a professional errand boy. He delivers anothers thinking in the hopes of distracting. Geostrategy is a bit beyond him.

Well, maybe when we stop killing innocent Islamic civillians (which include women and children) and  invading and occupying Islamic countries.  

Overwhelming force would succeed and by overwhelming force it means you just plow through the barbarians village cities mosques, no one gets to hide in cave.
They are a abomination upon this earth and cowards hiding behind the skirts of women and adjacent to schools and mosques

Are you referring to : Saddam “murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more. Are you speaking of those innocent dead Iraqis?

Either that or they are completely over matched by a super power and employ whatever methods they can. Is it much different, what we do, sending in drones and smart bombs that we know for sure may accidently kill woman and children? War, in all its forms, sucks. Peace on the other hand gives unendingly.

Saddam “murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more.

And who is reponsible for this death toll?

 After reading your comments, who wouldn’t.

 Point is if someone acts  like an animal treat them like one.

That’s a bible passage, isn’t it?

There was a genocide of a nation underway when we invaded Iraq.

i guess i was wrong thinking krauthead was one of the more inteligent members of the gop! guess they’re all ignorant!

 It’s time for you to go back to school. Al-Qaida and the Taliban are in Afghanistan.
The Kurds, The Sunni’s and the Shia’s are in Iraq. Saddam hated Al-Qaida so we know they weren’t in Iraq.

 Guess where he got that poison gas? Hint think Ronald Reagan along with Donald Rumsfeld special envoy of Reagan.
gwu. edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/

Reagan hated the Iranians more than Saddam. So we gave them plenty of things to use against the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq War.

Time for you to go back to school. You are partly right we did resist Communist Dictatorships.
But we loved the Fascist types in South America.
Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Panama, Nicaragua, Taiwan, Indonesia, Iran under the Shah. {Just so you know why the Iranians hate us we deposed their democratically elected government in 1953 and installed the Shah, with his SAVAK security force trained by Mossad and the CIA}

We supported most of the South American Dictatorships…Since we installed most of them. Argentina used their Air Force to take the opposition (older) people along with the university students who led the opposition on campus’ across the nation. They’d fly out over the Atlantic and send them to a watery grave by shoving them out the door.

Others just imprisoned and tortured the opposition to death. All with the help of the US Government via the CIA.

We were fine with Fascist Dictators. But we were against the Communist types..think Bay of Pigs.

 I did make a mistake it’s 900,338 killed in Iraq and 1,690,903 injured unknownnews. net/casualties.html (take the space out) that way I don’t have to have my message approved.

 And the Brit’s do claim 1.2 million
news.bbc. co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/629/629/7036068.stm (again take the space out)

today. Many have been here for years. Waiting. Preparing. 
What’s more, there are Islamists throughout the world, and here in America, who may not engage in violent jihad, but are committed to “stealth jihad” or “cultural jihad.”

 Their modus operandi is summed up by this statement from The Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic memo, entered into evidence at the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing trial in 2007:
 
“The Ikhwan [Muslim brothers] must understand that all their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and `sabotaging’ their miserable house…”
 
Omar Ahmad, co-founder of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, made his intent clear in a July 4, 1998 San Ramon Valley Herald article:  

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant.  The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America.”
 
The ultimate goal of both violent jihad and stealth jihad is the same: the advance and imposition of Islamic sharia law throughout the world.  Only the means to the end is different.
 
Islamists are being aided and abetted by the purveyors of political correctness – those in government, the media, academia and Hollywood who are apologists for and enablers of radical Islam, who refuse to acknowledge the supremacist political ideology embedded within Islam that motivates both the violent jihadist and the stealth jihadist.
 
Political correctness can be annoying, frustrating, even exasperating. In the struggle against the threat of radical Islam, political correctness will literally kill us.

If we don’t win the war against radical Islam other issues won’t matter at all.  We won’t have an economy to worry about. We won’t have equal rights for all. We won’t have our cherished freedom. And we will live under sharia Law.http://actforamerica.org/

You mean the Lord’s Resistance Army that was formed while Reagan was President?
Reagan didn’t stop them.
Bush Sr didn’t stop them.
Bush Jr didn’t stop them.
Obama is stopping them.

I don’t see what this comment has to do with anything discussed. You were criticizing the Afghans for allegedly embracing the Taliban. Now you’re on to suggesting that Hussein’s dictatorship somehow… Well, honestly, I don’t know what your point is in context with this thread. 

We didn’t go into Iraq because Hussein was a torturing dictator. Some of his worst crimes were committed in the early 1990s. The Iraqi civilians never got a referendum about whether they wanted us to overthrow their government. Sure, many hated Hussein but I’m not sure they think our war improved things. 

Imagine if it were your family. You may be scared of your government. You may even know someone who has been arrested at some point. Then an invading army comes to town, bombs a lot, kills a few of your cousins, and the next decade of your life is engulfed by living in a city with no security, frequent deaths and violence from your neighbors, the police and the occupying soldiers. The estimates are that Iraq has lost hundreds of thousands of people. Those numbers dwarf what we experienced in 9/11 or the Vietnam War–in fact, it’s many wars combined. The important thing to remember is that we never had a good reason for invading in the first place. 

Bob, I have to admit I find seeing Johnny Rotten’s face coupled with your religious comments a bit strange.

Bob, I’m a democrap, which means I don’t care about anything but doing drugs and having orgiastic sex with your loved ones. Just give me a latte and point me to the party and I’m good, Bob. If you have any questions, let me know. 

 You mean the Christian nation of South Sudan {It’s one of the newest nations in the world}
is killing Christians?
 The Christians in Egypt were killed along with many Muslims that were trying to get the present day Military Dictatorship to finally allow free elections,,They were fired upon by the military. The military couldn’t tell the difference between Christian protesters and Muslim protesters they were both killed.
 You need to keep up with Nigeria..Lately it’s been Muslim extremists killing other Muslims (in the North). It’s been a while since they killed Christians (in the South).
 *Sudan (North) did kill plenty of Christians during their two civil wars nearly 1.7 million civilians were killed. And plenty of Muslims were killed by the Christians. Just a little over twice as many died in the American civil war.

 Perhaps you should check out the Geneva Convention articles 55 through 60. The responsibilities of an occupier.

When will the Jews like Krauthammer  apologize for killing Christians?

I agree, occupation is a bad idea especially in Afghanistan. It’s where empires have gone to die even before Islam. The fact is however that we are there right now & it’s unlikely that we could leave right now without watching the Taliban make a triumphant comeback. While we are there, it’s best to tread carefully & not give anyone an excuse to revolt against us. Afghans have a tendency to bring down world military superpowers.

I just want to add that I don’t care if the Taliban make a triumphant comeback in Afghanistan or not. I think it would be best to leave ASAP.

We burn their Koran—- they should apologize…? 

They might do this the day this nation has some actual real Christians.

You’re seeing (finally) a litany of characterizations of Brick OBAMO as ‘weak,’ which is a dog-whistle for ‘limp-wristed.’ This is good to see, and ought to resurrect the ‘Angry Militant Man’ we all know is inside him.

Onward.

The towelheads desecrated the Korans by writing messages in them to each other. My opinion F ‘em and the camel they rode in on.

I concur, we have problems with only the countries with a non-mooslim minority… Nobody ever heard of any such problem in mooslim countries where there are no christians or other minorities that can follow their religion, say- Saudi Arabia. 

What christian army existed in afghanistan before 9/11? Ohh, btw, are you admitting we are a christian nation now? Dont you forget that later, okay sugar?

I guess all the generals on the ground who are apologizing are also “limp-wristed.”

Libturd, it is not as complicated as you make it out to be.  From a strictly economic stance, an apology is cheaper than a burial.

Hey Doctor Dopey, if the Islamic countries had troops here and were trying to passify the country and win the hearts and minds of the people and not get a whole lot more of their soldiers and marines killed then maybe we could wait for their apology. 

THX

NO ONE is supporting the ignorant or foolish act of burning the Qurans, only that humans lost their lives through the all too typical over reaction of the Islamists. If a Bible was burned no lives would be lost. Where are the peaceful Muslims condemning their extremist brothers?

why do people continue to conveniently forget that the good ol USA defended the Muslims in the Balkin war?

In real life when someone accidentally offends someone else, they usually apologize. You lose no credibility by doing that, rather, you mitigate an offense. That’s the right thing to do among civilized people. Sometimes, as in this case, and for whatever reason, the apology is not well received. Here we have the famous American President, the one with the drones and the smart bombs, and famous for his “war on religion”, afterall, apologizing, for an affront to religion. Why should they buy that?

Far more Muslims have been killed by Muslim terrorists than any other religion. Don’t hear that one too often in the media, though.

Then why hasn’t the apology worked?  They are still worked up into a frothy lather & it’s moving to other countries.  Don’t you think it’s odd how they have gone on a rampage over this even after the apology from Obama?  

Probably just doing what they are told to do.

They (afgans)  killed 2 Americans in uniform over this…that’s what he’s talking about.  

When did our president become an apologist for ALL Americans?

That “angry militant man” inside the ‘president,” is only reserved for showing off to his muslim friends how terrible WE are!

YES!  In fact they have smeared the CONSTITUTION!
They are cowards, and should be removed from their position!
They are also only obeying the orders from a questionable person who holds a questionable position gotten for him by questionable means!
THEY should remove themselves from duty—NOW!
As far as I am concerned, they are no longer honorable!

Those “innocent women and children” can pull a trigger as well as any man, and have done so!
Your rhetoric has no merit, nor honor!
You are a closet muslim, and should leave our country!

It WASN’T Arab land!
It belonged to the Jews for centuries before the sorry towelheads ever came down from the north!
Now, they think they own the place, even though they will be destroyed by the very people they hold in the greatest contempt!

Ok, what do you call the muslims here if not “occupiers?”
They come here to this country, enjoy all the freedoms and good things we have to offer them, yet they danced in the streets on 9/11, gladly encourage and house terrorists from Hezbollah and Hamas, and await the day they are told to attack!
Personally, I would rather occupy THEIR country, and wipe it out BEFORE THEY WIPE MINE OUT!

You are a sorry, lame-brained excuse for an American—if you are one!
Your words have no meaning, no weight, nothing but a coward’s whining!
Why don’t you just stay in the back room where we don’t have to put up with you?

He already has!
His Cairo Speech—that was number 1!
Then, he has apologized for America’s freedom, its Constitution, its geneosity, its way of life—EVERY DAY SINCE HE HAS BEEN IN “OFFICE!”
And, this latest was only one of many more!
He has to be removed!

When THEY stop murdering in the name of their supposed god and prophet!
They started it long ago, and are only perpetuating their unearthly “religion” to the point the world will turn on them as men do mad dogs everywhere, and wipe them out to the last!

The best occupying force is the one that takes over and wipes the slate clean!
I agree with the Romans!
Kill everyone and everything then worry about the niceties!

Is it?
How about the fact the ragheads will take the apology for weakness, and strike wherever and whenever there are Americans?
YOU are on their bulls eye as well as all of the rest of us!

WHEN does peace give unendingly and where?
That was what France thought when it caved to the Germans in both world wars.  So did the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and the Chezck Republic—-anythng for peace—-on the enemy’s terms!
WHICH side are you on?
The side of America that will fight, or the side that will roll over and surrender?

It isn’t neocon stuff!
isn’t it odd that other people can be outraged by what goes on, but Americans are just supposed to stand and take it?
Remember when Jean Kirkpatrick stood up in the UN and told all of the body that Americans didn’t like them coming to OUR country, taking up housing, food and such in OUR cities, yet said horrible things about us?
Dan Moynihan nearly got her fired because it was felt by the Democrats that WE should never say anything in our defense!  That it was wrong of us to feel important because of what WE have accomplished, what WE have done for others, and what WE would do in the future!
WE were at fault for being what we are:  Free, good, generous to a fault—we didn’t HAVE to rebuild the world after WWII, and as things turned out, we shouldn’t have!  But, we did it—to get the world back on its feet and to move ahead!
WE are the greatest nation on earth, and
DON’T YOU FORGET IT!

AFTER WE HELPED THE AFGANS!
Get your facts straight!

 Strange that under the Taliban Opium growing was punishable by death. The first year we were there there was a 4000% increase in production of Opium Poppy’s.

Think exactly what you would do if we were invaded? Would you use any terms necessary to try and get the invaders out? Oh, I forgot that you have heroes in the form of Vidkum Quisling and Pierre Laval as well as others that did Hitler’s bidding in the Low Country’s.

 You must have not been in a World History class in your life. Take a look at the Ottoman Empire.
 And further back study the Jewish Diaspora. There weren’t many Jews left in Palestine, so don’t try and give us the “God created Israel” crap. He didn’t.

We apologize because it is the right thing to do….period.

You Democrats are ignorant. You support radical Islam.

When will Muslims apologize for their persecution against Jews and Christians?

When will Democrats start support America and Christians?

Democrats enjoy the killing of our troops because of their hatred of the military.

I guess liberals forgot about all the riots when Bibles were burned. Oh wait, THERE WERE NO RIOTS!

 You mean we only defended the Muslims? We didn’t defend against the Croats in Bosnia?

Hint since you evidently never had a history lesson. Yugoslavia started to dissolve after the death of Tito, They did try and have revolving among the different groups. It failed. Slovenia the farthest north declared independence and didn’t face much fighting by the Serbs ~to far away to fight.

The Croats tried to declare independence they were close enough that the Serbs from Serbia proper as well as the Serbs in Bosnia decided to fight lasted several years.

Then the Serbs wanted to keep Bosnia…But Bosnia was a mix of Croats, Bosnian Muslims and Serbs. The Croats really didn’t like the Muslims but they had a greater enemy that being Serbia who wanted what they called a “Greater Serbia”, The Serbs fought to keep them from declaring independence. At the same time Macedonia declared independence but the Serbs didn’t mind them much.

The Serbs hated the Croats because during WW II, they Croat Fascist puppet state followed what was called the Rule of Thirds. Convert 1/3, Deport 1/3. Kill 1/3 of the Serbs. They had concentration camps that made the German’s look tame in comparison. After finally losing to the Croats in Croatia.

The Serbs turned their fury on those in Bosnia..be they Muslim or Croats. A blood bath ensued, many Serb military leaders ended up being charged with War Crimes because of both of these wars. Yes, Serbia was bombed by Clinton, and an uneasy peace has been achieved. But you must know that the Serbs that stayed in Bosnia wouldn’t be a part of the new government of Bosnia of the Croats/Muslims and they are now part of the Republika Srpska while the Croat/Muslim part is known as the Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina. Since that time the Montenegrin’s declared independence too. They had been loosely part of the last of Yugoslavia, which was only Serbia and Montenegro. The Montenegrin’s did not help the Serbs in their fighting.

My sainted Mama always taught me to only apologize to people that would apologize to me. I think it’s a sub-paragraph of the golden rule.

Change the foreign policy and leave them alone. 

What’s at issue here is their hatred of our foreign policy.

And no amount of apologies will change that.

He who?
They (afgans) killed 2 Americans in response to what we did.I’m certainly not for american getting killed anywhere but we should really ask them for an apology it ridiculous.You do realize that they(afgans) are current being occupied by us(Americans).

We’re helping the Afghans right now as well.

K, and your point?

So Krauthammer & Gingrich are Democrats?

I don’t think Charles is the guy to pose this question.

 Andy-48, you have no clue. Lee W is absolutely right. The Jewish King Salomon already built a Temple in Jerusalem around 1500 BC. King Herod said the around 10 AC that the native people of Palestine are Jews. In fact, Palestine was called Judea back then. So get your facts straight before you keep posting BS like that. The Jews have every right to be in Israel. And they also own Palestine/Gaza/West Bank.

It’s funny to read all the moronic comments of the islam appeasers here. How come I am not surprised they don’t speak up for Christians being massacred in their own countries? How come they don’t ask the muslims to apologize for the 9/11 terror attacks which are the reason we actually are over there? They were probably our fault too, huu? How quickly you libtards forget. Oh yeah, I forgot; some of you probably even think G.W. Bush did 9/11 all by himself. LOL!  The hypocrisy and bigotry of you useful idiots is just nauseating. But then again, it’s also funny. Your stupidity and ignorance go well together.. Keep it coming, I’m having a greaat time!

If you got it, flaunt it. Or better yet, spend some time in the Third World and experience Egyptian or Guatemalan exceptionalism.

Did they ever show you any videos of Hussein’s men throwing bound prisoners off of rooftops for fun? Where do they do that? Where? Have that happen in any community long enough and it’ll still blame the U.S. for everything because we are the only ones ever wrong about anything. Go to Dubai and jump off a roof to express your shame.

It doesn’t count unless Americans do it.

Yeah, oil. That’s why it’s a dollar a gallon here.

Next time provide a link to some sad violin music.

We don’t get cheap oil so no, I don’t get it.

As opposed to what – studies that aren’t serious? 

The U.S. isn’t responsible for even a fraction of those crazy numbers. Wake up and stop believing anything that makes America look bad and dictators and their sheep look good.

There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. By your hate-filled comment, I’m going to assume that you hold each and every one of them responsible for 9/11. Many Muslims HAVE apologized for 9/11, Muslims died on 9/11 as well.

Who isn’t speaking up for ANYONE that is being slaughtered? We have not invaded a “Christian” country and caused thousands of innocent people to be killed. Did you speak up for the Christians in Bagdad that we killed or injured when we invaded? Bagdad was a secular state with a Christian and Jewish population. Sure, Sadam was an animal but, are they better off now?

I’m glad you’re enjoying this because from my perspective it looks like hate has been eating away at your soul.

Hey folks . . . Islamic radicals bomb each other’s mosques with regularity in that part of the world without ANY regard for the preservation or protection of the Qurans inside.  . . . This isn’t about a few burned Qurans, its about the “filthy kuffar” (i.e. “us”) burning Qurans. In other words, it’s an expression of islamic supremacism and its primary objective is the abasement and forced submission of dirty kaffirs to islamic standards.. . . Remember, in the words of Mohammad, “islam must always dominate and not be dominated.” Submission and abject groveling is precisely what they crave – and Obama always delivers. 

 http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/291925/why-apologize-afghanistan-andrew-c-mccarthy

Lee, you’re a babbling idiot.

Yes, they behave like mindless tribalists, and we apologize?
It’s time 21st Century thinkers start leading our generations, not these petrified cultures of indoctrination from the Middle East – all because Obama is at War with the Oil Industry.

Which issue will more maintain it’s voter appeal going into November, Keystone or the War On Religion? 

let me rephrase—cheap for the oil companies…
since we pay for the military to protect it, subsidize it with tax dollars and kill competition with lies and political hyperbole with the demonization of earth friendly and long lasting solutions ie solar, wind and thermal..
but you are right–we pay for oil with our blood and the blood of our brothers and sisters in foreign lands
 

The President was just placating barbarism.
Not a word of condemnation over the slaughter of 20 people for the inadvertent
burning of a book, two of them US soldiers.
But he apologizes for America?

And this
guy is going up against Iran and people willing to blow themselves up?

Are you
kidding me?

What’s the speread on this?
lol

 Stop with the apologist BS. America kills easily as many as she saves every year. The US government is a ruthless global killing machine- and many of you boobs give it some kind of moral imperative. Those who know CHRIST, and bother to study US involvement around the world (beyond the 6:00 news), know that we have an evil government, period. BOTH PARTIES!

The point wasn’t whether Parker and Stone would be willing to lampoon others. Rather it is to point out that the reactions people have to their satire depends crucially on the target. And the left is overcompensating with the mulim faith and giving it an exalted sacred cow status. As far as urinating on corpses I think that’s rather uncouth behavior. But it is very telling that you would jump to that conclusion without any foundation or logical nexus. I suspect most of your arguments are poorly constructed.

 As for the above, we can walk on egg shells all we want but all it takes is one small incident for them to come out in force and chant “death to America” We can tread as carefully as you like, but we have been so thoroughly demonized that we won’t be winning over any hearts or minds. We can sift through facts and debate whether we deserve such hate directed towards us, but I can’t really see what that would accomplish. You issue one apology to show your respect, anything more than that is gratuitous and more importantly doesn’t change their attitude or intentions.

Dont say frothy plz

Maybe we can escalate the slaughter with the use of more powerful weapons.

We should disarm and demobilize our military, maintaining only the Trident Nuclear Missle Submarines as the ONLY way to defend ourself. Using drones and missles to attack and kill one camel at a time is so pointless as to be absurd.

I would like to apologize to the entire world for the abject stupidity of the electorate who voted  this unamerican communist into power.

I think its worth a try at least…Lets start with B52 arclight strikes using laserguided precision bombs and a 50/50 mixture of high explosive an incindieary weapons. Not that we should rule out massive Napalm and fuel/air explosives and/or Nuclear weapons.

Why? Every bully thinks he should be left alone to beat up on the weaker kids. That is all the US does to control the oil of the Middle East. You are a shameful person for thinking it is brave to drop bombs from thousands of feet on poor people unlucky enough to have oil under their feet. Make no mistake, that is all we do. Do you think we want to attack Iran because it speaks Farsi? Silly moron, you.

Obamacare should be enough to win on its own. Most people know someone who is very sick with cancer, aids, alzheimers. Taking money from every american to give away free condoms with health care dollars that could be better spent on My mother, your father or joe down the street should really speak for itself.

I know you ignorant feminist libtard dont like having kids but you do hate grandma too?

Every country in the world should be held responsible for the actions of terrorists they support. War on American civilians = nuclear retaliation. Clean up your hard and keep your haters in check. Period.

They are paid to support islam.

The war on truth is real.

And why not?  Militant Muslims are killing Christians every day, now in Egypt and for years in Africa.  Where is Obama when it comes to calling the facts what they are?  GENOCIDE AGAINST CHRISTIAN, and for what?

Ummm, we “invaded” their country because their insane, islamo-fascist government  - which was essentially keeping its entire female population homebound through physical violence –  was harboring and protecting OBL, remember? Sh*t, we even gave them a chance to turn him over. For G-d sakes, libs, PLEASE stop apologizing. At this point, it’s literally embarrassing.

More Muslims died yesterday in violence than Christians in the past year.

I never took you for such a col sanders before, norbit, are you having a bad day? Trust me, it will all work out all right. Iran is nothing, and nobody knows that more than Obama. Its those on the right who have strawmaned the Iran threat, and set it up as the great all powerful enemy that we need to be so afraid of as to justify even pre-emptively attacking it, that have you spooked. Fortunately we have a sane president who would not be so stupid. And Obama  has performed very well in his handling of the middle east, with both strength and moderation as appropriate, and it is sad that you are so committed to anti-Obama-ism as to be blind to that.

We erred by burning the Islamic holy books so we apologized to Islam. That is what civilized people do when they accidently hurt the feelings of others. Are there barbarians on the other side who are using this alleged affront to justify violence against the US? Sure, what else is new? But that crap in no way reflects the feelings of Islam in general, just some of its members. And whether it is a few burned holy books, or some other little thing, the bad guys will always want to kill Americans if they can. That is what happens when you are at war, and in a war zone, and fighting a committed enemy.

Oh come on, lee, don’t be such a cynic. Do you read the Bible? It s like a John Wayne movie, in the end, the good guys win. Relax. 

And certainly Obama has not rolled over in any way since he has essentially maintained the prior Bush policies, with a much stepped up effort in Afganistan, including Seal team missions inside of Pakistan. And since Pakistan is an Islamic nuclear capable country, that is not even remotely, weak.

On the other hand, any of the republican candidates would be down right scarry.

 And mostly by their own.

Many North Koreans are being killed and they have a bomb. Where’s the “Team America Police Force.”

Hosni Mubarak?

When will Republicans stop trying to destroy America?

Too bad America didn’t kill you!!

 How bad would it be if there wasn’t a recognition that burning of their religious book was a mistake. We are over there for many reasons, but no one thinks we are over there to war on the Afghan people. It was a stupid move that endangers our troops, and makes the campaign much more difficult. I don’t think it’s odd because this is a relatively backward people living in harsh war torn environment and tough economic circumstances. So they cling to their guns and their God. Lots of that going around apparently

Well, Ronald Reagan and Donald Rumsfeld gave him that poison gas.

And George W. Bush killed more than a million Iraqi civilians.

No, he’s talking about the hundreds of thousands killed by George W Bush.

Actually, Andres Sorrano has recieved alot of death threats from christians and have his work vandalized by christians.

Over a holy book? 

Exactly.

Yep, you are right. I remember when Christians went on a Rampage a few yrs ago when the Military burned the bibles in Afgan…..And a few days ago I remember watching on the news tea-baggers fighting with police in the streets over something…..
Wait a minute – none of those things really happened unless they were imagined.  Occupy arrests were over 6K & it’s doubtful that all of those arrests were just people hanging out with the Occupy groups.   
Quoting BHO isn’t always the best thing to do. 

Your correct the Military didn’t burn bibles, What peverse logic do you have to bring in Occupy Wall Street to a discussion about an incident in Afghanistan which has endangered our troops and which the administration is trying to difuse? Maybe you’d like to further endanger our troops simply to make Obama look bad. Do you hope he Fails in Afghanistan, I know Rush does. I’ve often wondered if the Teapartiers wouldn’t have alerted Bin Ladin to the raid just out of hatred for Obama. I know they’d support a right wing foreign power [if there were any] against this administration. Funny the only true right wing countries left are Muslim. 

 Alqueda killed those tens of thousands but nice liberal talking pionts,  you need the new chant sheets now that obama is the president the war on those civilians is higher than ever….  his drones have killed a lot of civilians…..  so now you have to cover up those talking points or he will actually get blamed for something ….

Note to the democrat liberal dimwit Kirsten Powers… Bibles are being burned by Muslims on a regular basis. In Saudi Arabia it’s ILLEGAL to own a bible they destroy them if they find them and Iran has just sentenced a man to death for preaching Christianity! What an idiot really. If we don’t get rid if the LIBERAL democrats running our country we really are through. If Obama wins a 2nd term it’s over. If the American people are really this stupid to elect him again it’s all over and we get what we deserve. Whenever the US projects weakness war breaks out all over the world and it’s about to happen now. November may be too late. Hope not for tje sake of all of us.

If insanity is justification for invasion, we had better pray no one tries to save us from the current slate of Republican nominees. Or maybe we should…

I’m pretty sure you don’t want to open that particular can of worms. If you have studied history at all, you would know that the US has a long history of supporting oppressive regimes (Shah of Iran), assassination (Carlos Castillo Armas), training of brutal oppressors for other countries (School of the Americas)… All of these have led to the deaths of thousands of innocent people and caused countries to remain in political turmoil for decades. We have no moral high ground, our foreign policy just finally came back to bite us in the butt.

Bingo. Too bad more Americans don’t know that Christian — and all those who don’t openly follow islam – are routinely brutalized in muslim countries BECAUSE the koran teaches it. A horrifying. totalitarian political ideology.

When there is a page like “thereligionofpeace” for the Jewish people? Read it….and weep. (And don’t forget the “the” at the beginning.) And when you finish reading that, look up the history of jihad to see how long this has been going on. If you don’t find it despicable, you have no soul, and if you don’t see the difference between the past (in which ALL peoples have sinned horribly) and current, ongoing offenses there is no hope.

Those who equate American political parties with islamic jihad show themselves as children and fools.

and those who deny the millions of lives destroyed by american poli-trics and lust for oil and greed are ignorant, liars or both…

Do you know how pathetically stupid you sound?

No, you are the liars and fools to believe that crap.

But they never showed you the killings done by Hussein and his 2 sons?  Don’t give us that crap.  Why did we interfere in Bosnia, and how much collateral damage was done there?

If Hussein, and worse..his 2 boys.. were left to do their damage, how many other Iraqis would be dead and not only in Iraq?  Remember the Kurds in Northern Iraq who were gased to death on their streets by Hussein?  How many victims were thrown off rooftops by his evil sons?  To know these horrific things were being done by Hussein to his own people and to do nothing, would be inhumane….exactly as is happening today in Syria. 

Why was it OK to help bring down Kadafi in Lybia because he was killing his own people in his attempt to stay in power, yet Obama sits with his thumb up his a** while
Bashar al-Assad commit genocide on his people?  Why?  Because Iran, Russia and China are on Assad’s side? 

Collateral damage happens in every war and there’s no way of getting around it.  But deliberate attacks on 3,000 or so innocent people on 9/11 calls for a militant response.  There is nothing in the Constitution or anywhere else that says we must sit by and take it or commit suicide.

Mencius…Don’t think for a minute that Hussein did not do the same thing.  They hid in mosques and in schools and in hospitals.  If you don’t believe that research it and you will see it’s true.

Taliban, AlQaida, Hezbolla…all one and the same, but why quibble over which country calls which terrorist group what?  The enemy to the US and the civilized world is Militant Islam.  And if you cannot accept that, then you can stand in line to be the next victim.

LOL…WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!!

And when did you become a judge of Krauthammer, and who said he was a spokesman for Christianity?  He is defending and speaking out on the deaths of Americans and Coptic Egyptians (Christians).  I am Christian and will speak out whenever I see attacks on Jews and Israel.  And I have every right to do so, as Krauthammer has every right to call attention to the injustices he sees.

If you cannot see or understand the exceptionism of the US Constitution and our culture, then you are uninformed and ignorant of World History.

No, moron, they’re not “all one and the same”. And please, quit trying to hype up the “threat” of cave-dwellers and other primitives.

Not true.  Al Qaida certainly were in Iraq and that was well documented.  Just because Hussein did not hold Al Qaida to his bosom does not mean he stopped them.  He knew they were a threat to his hold on Iraqis so he didn’t particularly like them, but he knew they were in Iraq and he also knew they were enemies of the US.  So he kept them under suveillance and under control, planning to use them against us, but they were indeed there and he knew it, as did we.  They just were not there in the same numbers as in Afghanistan.

And to answer Calvinius up there, they are ALL enemies of the US and are ALL Militant Muslims.  That makes them one and the same to most logical thinking Americans.  I’ll let our military and CIA deal with the distinctions between the various groups.

 The tens of thousands of innocent dead Iraqis died mostly from violence from other Iraqis.  Very few died from US or UK combat operations.  Our soldiers were not running about planting bombs outside of market places, polling places, police stations, schools (especially girls schools).  Our soldiers were trying to build infrastructure while the terrorists taking advantage of the lack of a dictator were busy destroying it.

 What are you talking about?  Please take your pills and get rid of the Nazi propaganda.

 Millions of lives?  Most of the deaths of people (men, women, and children) in Iraq was due to the violence of Iraqis killing Iraqis.
