OBAMA Apologizes For Burning QUARAN
Obama
In the official letter conveyed to the Afghan President this afternoon by Ryan Crocker, the US ambassador to Afghanistan, President Obama has written that the incident in their facility was not intentional and assured the Afghan President of full investigation, the statement stated.
According to the statement, President Obama writes, “I wish to express my deep regret for the reported incident. I extend to you and the Afghan people my sincere apologies.”
“The error was inadvertent; I assure you that we will take the appropriate steps to avoid any recurrence, to include holding accountable those responsible” the letter concludes, according to the statement.
The reported Quran burning on Tuesday in the U.S. military center at Bagram airbase 50 km north of Kabul, where hundreds of suspected Taliban and al-Qaida operatives have been held, has triggered protest demonstrations over the past three days in Afghanistan which have killed 13 people dead and injured over 50 others.

According to the Pentagon line -and there is no need to doubt it,soldiers burnt the Koran by mistake!! Their commanding officer APOLOGIZED UNRESERVEDLY and that’s where the matter should end!! As Head of State,Obama should NOT apologize for an action that wasn’t his Govt policy!!!
But if he is in apologising mood,then he should apologize for ALL the deaths caused by wars waged by the US around the world:
2 MILLION Vietnamese killed in the Vietnam War
Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who died in Gulf War 1&2
Toppling democratically elected Alende,Lumumba and many others!!
Obama is a wimp who meddles in small affairs for political expediency!!one of his 2008 promise was closing Guantanamo bay,the place is still open for business 4 yrs counting!!

They are apologizing because they got caught, had it been the opposite that bonfire would have carried on.

@Munalian, I agree with u. Also, when he says it was un-intentional he is lying. Humiliation was part of the war tactics. Those who think Obama is a saint, do some research, I beg you.

Burning the Holy Book (Quaran) was so ******, I hate this obama guy, he should apologize about the people he has killed & many who are suffering because of him. He is just a puppet, implementing the ideas of the group he represents. Hopeless creature.

The Americans are GOOD people. But the USA Military Generals are war mongers. All they want is WAR and the money the War brings to them. Some tmes the American Military does things to annoy the Muslims deliberately. How do they burn the Koran when they know it will inflame hatred against them even from moderate muslims. Osama Bin Ladin Once said on hone hand the Taliban do not fear death, on the other hand the Americans like life.This shows u how some hardline Muslims can go to extremes. Americans must be weary not to annoy the extremists/die hards un necessarily.

@alicia there is no need to be abusive.Allah is another name for God, nobody in his right mind insults God. Christianity teaches tolerance and loving our neighbours.All loving people should pray for souls like yours. Once again brother/sister NEVER EVER insult your God,you are attracting HIS wrath on you. God bless you.

Obama did the right thing. The Bible teaches us to live in peace with all men including our brothers the Muslims(Iam told Islam means PEACE). However, be reminded that that apology did not mean Obama was representing Christians- NO! True Christians believe that Islam is of the Devil and is antichrist in practice- nothing like ecumenism, only THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE is the answer to a sinful world.
