Newt is a certifiable idiot. The main reason for 'apologizing' is to protect our troops in Afghanistan. Thank God Newt will never be President Of The United States. :thumbs:
I agree a little bit with Newt, but probably for different reasons. We knew from experience that some **** was going to hit the fan if it was true. Just deny it. Let somebody prove there were Korans in that pile of stuff.
"Korans? What Korans? I didn't see any Korans. Did you see any Korans, General? Nope, the General didn't see any Korans either..."
Read: Fat irrelevant man makes noise. No one cares.
My mother taught me that when you **** up, you should apologize. Gingrich's mother seems to have failed in this.
It is way past time for our exit. It is clear that many do not any foreign troops in Afghanistan. Let the people decide what type of country they are going to have. If the extremists take control, guess its what the people want.
I wish the President would have explained more on what actually happened rather than just an apology. I am not convinced our troops did anything wrong.
I don't think the apology worked.

I really don't see what's wrong with demanding an apology from karzai over this and threatening to cut aid money if this nonsense doesn't stop immediately.
I'm sure the Muslims who are burning out flag will be calmed by this. NOT.I wasn't aware this was a popularity contest. I was under the impression we had a job to do... you know.... like strategic objectives and stuff.

What I fail to understand is why everybody on the left cares so much. Who cares what people in other countries think of us. Let the military do their job. Support the troops.
I don't even care what people in THIS country think of me. Do you think I give a rat's ass what some goat herders in Afghanistan think about our military?
Mainly because those herders are bound to strap bombs to their chest and blow themselves the **** up to try and kill our troops.

The thread is about Gingrich criticizing Obama. Gingrich wants to be elected President, and that part of this story is very much a popularity contest.
I was responding to a post claiming we should leave Afghanistan because our presence is unpopular with the Afghan people.
