Iran: US officers should hang over Koran incident

A top Iranian military commander said that only burning the White House and hanging US commanders could remedy the pain caused to Muslims by the burning of Korans. We’ll take that as an “apology not accepted” then.

  • I just heard a report that 4 more Americans were killed in Afghanistan. An afghan walked into "one of the most secure buildings" and shot 2 officers in the head at their desks. He then proceeded to shoot 2 more. God know I don't want another war, and I'm not sure our Military can handle another war, but we need to eith er fight this like the war we are calling it, or get the hell out. The concept of rules of engagement is way too advanced for these crazies, and I for one, am tired of having our soldiers picked off, then challenged when they fight back.

  • Wow. Nothing is said about the coded messages they were sending in the books or the Bibles that were also burned for the same reason. Just another reason to Hate, Hate, Hate. Guess beheadings, stoning women, etc. etc. is OK though.

    • This whole thing was a setup. I'll give you 10:1 odds that there no actual koran were harmed here -- just some verses added to their messages in order to make it look like they were burning it.

      • If anything the apology was also a set up. If NATO asked for an apology they are now paying for it. We should know by now that apologizing to animals means nothing to the animals.

    • Hindsight being 20/20, they should just have loaded up all of this stuff into a shipping container with a couple thousand pounds of riprap in the bottom, shipped it back towards the states, and if it falls off the side of the boat on the way, it was just a harmless shipping accident.

  • Hey, here's an idea. Obama wants to reduce our nuclear arsenal, and we want to whack these nut jobs before they get us killed. Let's just drop the extra ones all over Iran. Win-Win! "Bomb bomb bomb, Bomb bomb Iran!" (* to the tune of "Barbara-Ann")

  • Could someone explain tome please how Hanging MILITARY commanders and burning the White House wous assuage their distress? Especially since burning IS in fact the appropriate way of destroying a Koran, especially when defaced? LIKE WRITING CODEDMESSAGES BETWEEN PRISONERS ON THE PAGES! BS. Like I give a flip pwhat some idiot Iranian's opinion is of the United States.

  • Just have to love the followers of the religion of peace. It also dosen't help when our Commander in Thief has about as spine as a jellyfish.

  • Where's the goddamn Rangers when you need 'em? Give 'em 48 hours and all the ammo can use and we wouldn't be having these problems.
