Cool.

I demand the Japanese army apologize for shooting at my Dad during WWII.
Unfortunately it has come to that since our president refuses to do so. It gives the appearance that he is more concerned about a book than the lives of the USA soldiers.

I think I get what is going on. Liberals hate America and are in some sort of unholy alliance with Islam to subvert the West.

So anyone who is stands up for America and does not give Muslims much respect over their irrational emotions over a book is subject to contempt. Thus the hatred towards Palin.

Am I close?

As a liberal who is actually engaged in the real life defense of this country against Islamic extremist, and not some armchair chickenhawk (are there any active duty conservatives on this board right now? you know, people who are actually going to war instead of running their mouths?), I think you're way off the mark ... comically so.

I don't hate Palin. I think she is an ok reality tv star. I do hate that she is taking it upon herself to speak with foreign nations on behalf of America. That's as dangerous as Snooki doing so. Truth be told, I think Snooki has more brains than Palin, and I'd feel slightly more comfortable with her speaking no my behalf. There is a reason why that moron (Palin) does not serve America in any official capacity. She can blame the media for her failings all she wants. Most of us aren't fooled-- most Republicans are even on to her.

If military members are so stupid and ignorant, they need to be dishonorably discharged immediately.
Everyone in the US military, in fact, pretty much anywhere in the world, knows that this will result in violence in theocracies.

Obama was forced into his apology because of the knuckleheaded idiots that get their welfare payments through the military.

Why doesn't she fly out there and express her demands in their faces.

Sarah Palin demands apology from Afghan Army for slain U.S. soldiers

The State Column
Thursday, February 23, 2012

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin demanded an apology from the Afghan Army for the killing of two U.S. soldiers Thursday.

The former Alaska governor’s comments came following a series of protests by citizens of Afghanistan in reaction to the burning of the Koran at a U.S. military base this week.
Well, the US military are a) invaders/enemies of the Afghan people and thus fought, which is natural in a war, and b) themselves responsible for that violent backlash in the wake of their stupidity.
Send Palin to Afghanistan, maybe the US can get rid of her that way once and for all

What standing does this private citizen, Palin, have that she can demand anything from anyone ???

She thinks the Afghans give a damn what she, a total nothing, "demands"???



She is really and truly insane if she thinks she has any importance or power whatsoever!!!!

What makes anyone believe Sad Sarah knows anything about the Afghan Army? Or even knows where Afghanistan is?

I do give her credit for learning from all the acting lessons she has taken in the last couple of years. Now she speaks in full sentences most of the time. Still does not make any sense but is better spoken.

I remember when Japan asked the United States under President Bush senior for an apology for the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The President, who had been shot down by the Japanese in WW2 said: "Not from this president..."
