A U.S. military investigation into the burning of Qurans at Bagram Air Base near the Afghan capital, Kabul, last February has recommended disciplinary action against up to seven troops.
U.S. military officials said Tuesday no final decision has been made yet on the findings of the probe. According to the officials, one member of the Navy and up to six Army troops could face administrative punishments, but no criminal charges.
NATO troops stationed at Bagram attempted to dispose of a load of Qurans by setting them on fire, but were stopped by Afghan employees.
The incident sparked deadly riots across Afghanistan and attacks on NATO troops that killed some 30 people and led to the deaths of four Americans and plunged relations between coalition troops and their Afghan allies to an all-time low.
U.S. President Barak Obama apologized for the incident.
A preliminary joint investigation by senior U.S. and Afghan military officials in March concluded that while mistakes were made in the burning of copies of Islam’s Holy books, there was no intent to desecrate them.

Comment by Cathy Anifant on June 25, 2012 at 8:29am Excellent!! Len Porochina, you summed Obama to a tee.
Comment by Michael DiBari on June 24, 2012 at 10:55pm My thoughts? Any soldier that is being deployed that goes to any of these illegal wars should be tried for war crimes, along with those that sent them.
Sound harsh? So is knowingly going into areas of the world we have no business being in, and killing the people there, for no other reason than corporate profits. And a lot of soldiers know they shouldn't be there.
Someone gives you an order to do anything illegal, and you follow it, to hell with you. Always question authority. And to hell with all the arguments about "military discipline." I am talking discipline. Discipline to what's right. And us even being over there is wrong. It's all a lie.
Comment by Len Porochnia on June 24, 2012 at 8:35pm Yet another story that could only occur in the Obama regime. Gay marriages, amnesty for illegal aliens, successive trillion $ deficits, 900 executive orders, government ownership of private companies, bowing to Saudi royalty, Fast & Furious, Solyndra, food stamp recipients doubling, etc., etc. Never has there been a regime with so many perverse, anti-American, sordid, despicable stories to tell like this one.

Comment by Roland C. Cartier Jr on June 24, 2012 at 5:24pm Always knew that there was something Evil lurking but this brings a whole knew perspective as to how "We As The People" can fight back this Red Tide and I do mean Red (Communistic barbarian radicals). I believe that as a Veteran of many veterans that we can come up with a superior Strategy of our own by a Mobilization which will Materialize a Counter Attack on the Agenda 21 Infidels. Namely Third World Countries and the United Nations with Samantha Powers and husband Cass Sunstein as the poster children. There are plenty of more to add to our List if they think they have one they better rethink their actions.
Comment by Eugene P. Clark on June 24, 2012 at 4:11pm The Arab Culture has existed for thousands of years. It's obvious that their Culture has been stagnated for a good part of that time.
My takeon this issue is that the personel who were tasked to dispose of the Qurans, (mind you they were already defiled by Islamic Terrorists who wrote messages in the margins) therefore there was no intention of our people defiling any already defiled Qurans, nor did they know they were Holy Books at all. Case closed. However, if you want to want to follow the lead of dimwits and rear-ends like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, you might try and blame George W. Bush. But that won't fly because GW was off the scene as POTUS for a long time before the incident occured. But following Democratic logic, the blame should be placed on the head of the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces at the time of the occurance, namely: Barack Hussein Obama. (the guy who single handedly took down Osama Bin Laden). However we must understand that Eric Holder will find some excuse to nullify Obama's connection with the burning, just as he has tried to cover Obama's ass on the outrageous attack on the Seconed Amendment by smuggling arms into Mexico which led to thousands of Mexicans losing their lives and a Border Patrol Agent killed by the very weapons that ATF tried to use in a ruse to discredit and blame American Gun businesses, therefore giving a reason to do away with our Congressional "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS. There is no end to Obama's treachery and obvious hatred towards Americans. PARTICULARLY those Americans who show any patriotic fervor for our Country. Obama has consistantly FAILED in every respect to favorably protect and represent the the American People. An Immediate Process of IMPEACHMENT for INCOMPETANCE should be drawn up to relieve him of Office of POTUS an further charges of TREASON should immediately follow. These actions should be immediately implemented so that Obama and Holder are prevented from declaring "Martial Law" and suspending National Elections in November. Obama's horribly obvious and sagging ratings for re-election indicate that he will lose . Obama's "Chicago Politics, and Marxist Ideology" will not allow an honest election. He will engineer a "REVOLUTION" rather than lose. This man and the people behind him are pure evil and will allow nothing to prevent them from causing America and the world to collapse into utter destruction and decay. It is starting with the persecution of our Military people and religious freedom. We must prevent him from making ANY more inroads to our destruction.
Comment by Keith Walter on June 24, 2012 at 2:30pm OH, it's OK for the muslims to burn or Bible or even our Flag but we will sure enough make examples of anyone following orders to burn qurans. Our Country is only gotten reall out of hane sense the democraps took over congress while Bush was President. Then got a LOT worse with the kenyan warlord running the place. OH but that's OK too right??
Comment by Tony Thannisch MOD11 on June 24, 2012 at 12:34pm Kick ALL of them out of this country who come here and try to change it to suit their own cultist needs and ways. Kick all of them the hell out and kick all of those who follow them out with them. This is America. When we take over the white house, prosecute all who nursed on and followed Obama. Send the whole bunch packing and I do not give a $hit where.
