BAGHDAD -- A day after the American military confirmed a soldier had used a Koran for target practice at a shooting range, the commander of United States troops in Baghdad apologized to local leaders and tribal sheiks, saying he was asking for their forgiveness. "I come before you here seeking your forgiveness," General Jeffrey Hammond said at the meeting. "In the most humble manner, I look in your eyes today and I say please forgive me and my soldiers."

....and if you DON'T forgive me....you'll have to excuse me while I whip this out.

Wow imagine if this was in 1942? Where would we be now?

Did the general also pull out a big tube of K&Y next?

Why is this story on the front page TWICE?

Because one needs at least three rounds for a group.

Charles Whitman did much better ...

Nothing like a dedicated Marine and his rifle.

Very impressive, actually.

This ass kisser General would make a good VP candidate for Obama the appeaser.

"In the most humble manner, I look in your eyes today and I say please forgive me and my soldiers."

Oh please. Talk about going overboard with the mea culpas.

General Hammond should have brought a stack of Korans with him to that tribal meeting and every time the General would yell "Pull" have one of his sergeants toss another Koran up in the air like a skeet shoot and blast each one thru with a shotgun.

Amen.

The General apoligized because unlike you fucking whimps on the RIGHT he knows that this put his soldiers in jeopardy, you remember them the men an women that you Conservatives fucks say you support.

The Christian Right in this Country are no different that the MUSLUMS they say we need to fight to save Democracy. How Pathatic, is there a bigger bunch of losers than the fucking CHICKENHAWKS of the Christian Right.

Good ol' Chrissy, pissing up a rope again. Why don't you just take a fucking bubble bath, you little pussy?

BANI,

Odds do favor a dem sweep and Obama becomming POTUS, but who are you going to blame then? You can only blame Bush and the Republicans so long. Also, stay in the ghetto where you belong because we have guns and ammo out here in our gated communities. We have beautiful homes, wonderful schools, swimming pools, soccer fields, no crime, and very few crazy libs.

I blame America for not aborting your sorry ass, FhagThom. Burn in hell.

Hey, had Fwthom been aborted ~ he might have reincarnated as a Muslim taking target practise at the bible:>)

Good idea, Aunt Jomama. I just bought a bottle of Clarins rose-scented bubblebath gel yesterday and have been wanting to try it out. Was going to wait until later tonight but it was so warm today, may as well put a couple capfuls of it right now in a nice lukewarm bath. ahhhhhh. So relaxing.

It is likely that the General was ordered to make the apology by someone higher up the chain. Seems like they knew that if word got out about soldier shooting Korans it would put US soldiers lives in danger. Since none of the highest of the high wanted to make the apology, they probably ordered Hammond to make it.

CELERY STALK,

Since when did you libs care about our troops? I liked CALCHRIS's idea of using Korans for Skeet practice. It made me laugh.

that's why they are there because we care so much about 'em, fwhbom:>:

Apparently it's not enough to fabricate lies to justify a pre-emptive invasion and occupation of an Arab country, to destroy its cultural artifacts and infrastructure and to be responsible for the deaths, sickness, torture and displacement of millions of its citizens. They might not quite get the point that you do not wish them well. So get their holy book and use it for target practice. That should convince them.

It's a shame that that nuisance of a constitution decrees that the man responsible for this exercise in persuasion cannot be voted for again.


I am shocked and awed by this brilliant strategy to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqis...

I guess that's one way to be removed from the multiple rotations of duty in Iraq. I wonder if he will get reassigned to Afghanistan?

General Hammond's a class act.

Maybe the Turks and Armenians could learn a lesson about how to own up to your sins.

I am appalled by posters here calling for the continued desecration of the Koran. Those were our Allies he apologized to, not our enemies. What do you want, a few million new enemies in Iraq who will be killing Americans? Winning those "hearts and Minds" just like last time. We know how that worked out.

Armchair Rambos who don't mind putting the troops in danger.

"I am appalled by posters here calling for the continued desecration of the Koran...."

It's spring, and the turtles are insisting on crossing roads in my part of the world. I notice drivers come in two types:

1) Those that stop for the turtles or otherwise try to avoid them.

2) Those that don't stop for the turtles and often seem intent on running over them.

Call Obama the appeaser but it was Bush who obligated the country to spend $500 billion and still counting in Iraq. Appeasement STOPS when we stop bankrupting our country with this incredible drain on our treasury. An OPEC country like Iraq can pay for its own damn reconstruction. Since Bush has invaded their oil resources have doubled in value.

i got a new one for all you fools out there

i say lets try an experiment

lets do what chris the immigrant hater says

use the koran as skeet shooting in iraq

lets see if you get the support of the locals


do it.

we'll see what happens

Does anyone else find it odd that some of the people who were against releasing the Abu Ghraib photos because they'd incite the natives, yet support desecrating the Koran w/out concern of the adverse effects amongst the population?

katie, no not suprised at all

when someone hates a group

they will do whatever it takes to offer the most punishment to that group.

hiding abu ghraib photos is better cause then they can do more harm to those prisoners and keep getting away with it.

and desecrating the koran is ok because it shows that we're so free we can blow holes in the country we're occupying's religous book... look iraqi's don't you want the freedom to shoot holes in the koran too!

Funny to see all the American Idiots defending the soldier's actions. So our enemies are brutal and evil and do crazy tasteless shit, that's why they're our enemies. We're supposed to be the good guys, right?

Maybe if there happened to be a body holding the Koran I would agree. Then this wouldn't even be a thread.

I agree, Scrumplet. Defacing their holy books is overkill. I think we should limit ourselves to dragging their battered corpses through the streets until there is nothing left but some hamburger stuck to a spinal cord, like they do to our soldiers.

Did anyone notice that the soldier that caused this crap was a SNIPER? Typical of the most cowardly specialty in the armed forces. These sniveling shits can't do anything right.

By that standard, we'll always look good.

It's the "at least I'm not that bad" argument.

Way to take the high road, Seany.

Funny, I thought we were fighting because we already believed we had the high road.

Do you really believe this or are you just trying to get a rise out of people?

...I think we should limit ourselves to dragging their battered corpses through the streets until there is nothing left but some hamburger stuck to a spinal cord, like they do to our soldiers.

Do you really think we should lower the bar and base our morals on the worst people in the world? I'd like to think our nation is better than that.

You see what happens when your country desperately needs their oil to keep your country afloat?

It's called APPEASEMENT asshats. Well, at least that's what Bush says.

Funny thing is, while all you republican suckers are screaming at $6.00 a gallon gas next year, your hero GW BUSH will be rolling around the planet in his jet, looking down and laughing at you chumps.

Fortunately he'll be safe in his new hometown; Dubai.

Oh...you mean like
THIS?????

You Fucking Moron!

KATIE POO,

If we showed our enemies that no one is more ruthless than us we might achieve victory a lot sooner. They take any fair play as weakness. Obama the Appeaser will make victory our war against Islam much more difficult to achieve.

So we are not the good guys. Thanks for clearing that up, FwThom. Fuck, we suck.

make victory our war against Islam much more difficult to achieve

war against islam?

are you warring against islam?

make this clear

so the 10 million muslim americans are being declared war against??

this is why YOU are not a leader
bush and mccain and obama and all will "appease" because no one is fighting a war on islam

if you are personally fighting this war
then be ready for a rude awakening because the usa isn't.

FuckWadTom,

Do you even know what the word "appeaser" means? Obviously you are either a lying prick like Chimpy and McBush or too damned ignorant to live. Either way, Shut the Fuck Up!!!

bush and mccain and obama and all will "appease" because no one is fighting a war on islam


appeaser: someone who tries to bring peace by acceding to demands; "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile--hoping it will eat him last"--Winston Churchill

appeasement: Giving in to the demands of aggressive powers to avoid war, as long as those demands appear reasonable. ...

Neville Chamberlin was an excellent example of an appeaser when he gave half of Czechoslovakia away to Hitler.

Next time, know what a word means before you use it and give solid examples of what the person gave away before you make such statements.

lucye

thats why i put it in quotes

cause its not really appeasing

that is the argument though
that obama is appeasing by speaking with iran

what is he giving away?
nothing.

my point is that nobody in the white house is going to make this a war on islam because that is stupid.

I've been coming to this site for over two years, and this:

is one of the stupidest posts I've EVER read.

It even holds its own against Buffalo Bob and Silken Blue Skies. Remember THAT guy???

Yes, THIS post was much, much more stupid.

"Our war against Islam...."

I must have missed that.

BOB DYLAN,

Just throwing a pussified lib fit does not qualify as debate.

Parroting what a bloated gas-bag child molester says is not debate either, FuckWadTom.

And we are still waiting to hear your answer on the appeasement question: are you a sack of shit liar or just a brain-dead moron?

He didn't have to ask for forgiveness ... a true God loves all, no matter what someone does, say or think.

Oh yeah... HELL!!! It's a LIE!!!

He didn't have to ask for forgiveness ... a true God loves all, no matter what someone does, say or think.

A true God wouldn't give a crap.

A true God moved on to do other great things.

"This ass kisser General would make a good VP candidate for Obama the appeaser."

That must be why ur president asked for forgiveness from all the same people that the general did, what an Asspleaser.....

LM

"This ass kisser General would make a good VP candidate for Obama the appeaser."

Forgot to mention u must hate America cuz you just indulted a troop, holy shit you fuckin commie....

"He didn't have to ask for forgiveness ... a true God loves all, no matter what someone does, say or think."

Puff the magic dragon or god or yeehaw, why would a god create such evil things, subject them to such atrocities?? Wouldn't a god who loves everything and everyone create a eutopic society instead of the less than perfect one we have in REALITY?

It's called intolerance and ignorance, sadly derived usually from the divisive nature of religion and theology. Once man decides to EVOLVE as one and further life, love and humanity, then man/womankind will have a chance.....
