Those people were Islamists.
They weren't Muslims???
Those people were Islamists.
problem is that they are fighting an enemy who will do all they can to aviod close quarter combat ( and they have their hands tied behind their back) and no an American soldier can't handle anything thrown at them hence they are Human and they still die. As for a casuaties we will see over the next few days how it affects Afghan given the fact the Taliban have pledged to increase attacks and no doubt would of found a few new recruits!
To date, there is no evidence, in the form of a spike in US casualty figures, that supports the notion that pissing off the Muslims will get more Americans killed.
I'm sorry, but I'm sick to death of hearing tjat offending Muslims will get more soldiers killed. It's total bull****. It's nothing more than using our servicemen as pawns in pushing a politically correct agenda.
That's like saying Blizzard is a terrorist group and caused Chuang's death.

While I think Jones is an idiot, I have to agree that catering to the immature beliefs of a bunch of morons in robes is a bad idea. Someone needs to teach them that no matter what stupid crap they believe about Mohammed, they have to live in the real world and terrorism will never be acceptable, even if done in the name of someone's religion. The idea we should treat these retards with kid gloves because otherwise they'll act like 2-year olds and throw a tantrum is absurd.
People should never get special treatment because they have imaginary friends.
Why should his right to hold an opinion even be questioned, and especially by the military?

Do try to keep up, Grant. Let me help.
All KKK members are white, therefore all white people are KKK members? Work on that concept, apply it to Islamists and Muslims and then get back to me.
And while you are doing that:
Here in America, how many times have you, your family and/or your friends been personally attacked by Muslims because of your religion?
Beyond military service have you ever been outside of the United States?
How many times outside the US have you and yours been attacked by Muslims because of your religion?
I'll try to respond to all of you in one short post.
1) If you read my posts nowhere did I say that he did not have the RIGHT to do what he did.
2) If it was legal today for you to yell FIRE in a crowded theater - would you? Think about that for a while.
There a difference between RIGHTS and RIGHT even though we use the same word.
I don't care about or like Muslims or any other super-religious folks. Taking actions in the name of invisible sky-things won't get you any respect from me. However, people are getting killed here and that's not right and not funny and not appropriate to score political points with. Another 9/11 tragedy but instead of coming together in respect, it's just a bunch of political childishness. You DO remember 9/11/2001? We mourned together. On 9/11/2012, I'm just embarrassed to be an American.
I've said all I have to say on this topic and I won't be returning to this thread. Thank you for your participation.
((Why should my right to hold an opinion even be questioned, and especially by the partisan?))
It's neither legal, nor right to murder people over a movie you don't like. Think about that for a while.

Maybe someone shouted fire while the Muslims were watching it.

Why do leftists have such a very clear problem with forming intelligent analogies?
Was that the method they taught you in grade school so you would be more likely to understand?
This is not about the KKK or White people. The facts don't need analogies.
It was white folks that crippled the klu klux klowns and made them insignificant. It was a couple of my white friends that beat the **** out of klownsman and left him in a road ditch, to die.
What are the moderate Muslims doing to squelch the Islamofacists? Nothing.
What response did we get from the Egyptian government? They want their consulate in the states to take leagal action against Bacile.
According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown", under which movement is severely restricted.

This is of absolutely no concern to the US military, or even the US government.
The concern of the US military and and the US government is to make it possible for people to have the freedom to do these kinds things, no matter how distasteful they may be.
So, the job of the government, and of the military, is to say, outwardly, to these people who are offended, "yeah? Freedom's a bitch, and we defend her."
You don't get to decide what is the US's concern, thank goodness.Top US military officer calls pastor over film | News by Country | Reuters

Oh my! Where does the buck stop on this one? Is it Bush's fault again?
That General really looks like even more a dumbass now...
Good for Dempsy.. There is no reason to put Westerners in danger or to jam Freedom of Speech down the throats of Muslims ........
You don't get to decide what is the US's concern, thank goodness.
The freedom of speech does not absolve people of the obligation to act responsibly. Just because you are free to do something doesn't mean you should. The government is more than empowered to request that people to act in certain ways if it protects Americans, overseas and at home.
