What a load of clowns these Florida imbeciles are. If it's one thing Osama bin Laden has been exceeding good at since 9/11, it's getting his homemade videos and recordings out to the world at large. Nothing like a book burning, like we're in freaking 1930's Germany, to embolden an enemy that doesn't need the encouragement.
Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander of the Afghanistan War, said today the planned burning of Korans by a Florida church could put American troops in danger.
"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," Petraeus told the Wall Street Journal. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."
Petraeus' comments come in the wake of anti-American protests in Kabul. Earlier today, 500 demonstrators, including members of parliament and Muslim clerics, gathered outside the U.S. embassy to condemn the "International Burn A Koran Day" planned by the Dove World Outreach Center, a small church in Florida. Protesters burned the church's pastor, Terry Jones, in effigy and called for "Death to America."
