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.

Awaiting my copy of Infidel Koran should be enlightening as if I didn't know already because of the military training huh?
Get everyone you know (whether in the nursing home, hospital, etc. ) signed up to vote... Get them there somehow or do an absentee ballot. It is up to us.
Part of the demoralization of our troops. Evil, pure evil.
Anne Barnhardt is the lady who used bacon strips as bookmarks while reading from the koran and then she ripped out the pages and burned them....... all on a video. She has now responded to threats on her life by Muslims by giving them her address and inviting them to "come on"; she's ready for them. Will our government be coming after her too? She is one gutsy lady for whom I have great admiration. If anything happens to her, I'll be making my own video.
Their quran if filled with hate and murder against infidels. Let's get out of there, quit sending money to Pakistan and build our arsenal and our troops to protect America, while dumping Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood.
E.T Calling Home to all of us. Damn It! I'm damn proud that we have someone like myself and others that are not afraid to call it like we see it! This whole administration is about to Implode Itself and I can't wait !
TO HELL WITH THE quaran! They destroy our BIBLES,and are killing CHRISTIANS EVERYDAY!!!
More BS to undermine our military.
We are at War, Mr. Obama! An issue like this needs not be apologized for since these books were being used for other non-religious purposes. Number 2, these men did absolutely nothing wrong. Drop all charges and get on with the destruction of those who would kill us and stop pussy footing around like a clown. Show the world who's boss, not what a weakling YOU really are.
