KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Islamic clerics expressed outrage Thursday at television footage that purportedly shows U.S. soldiers burning the bodies of two dead Taliban fighters to taunt other militants and warned of a possible violent anti-American backlash.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the alleged desecration and ordered an inquiry. The operational commander of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, which launched its own criminal probe, said the alleged act, if true, was *****nant.

I am praying that this is not true.
I hate the Taliban but if these allegations are true it could cause more deaths to our service members.
The people over there take their religion so seriously and it can turn the people that respect us and want our help against us

As usual, the biased mainstream media never turns down an opportunity to bash the troops such as Gitmo and the Abu Ghriab scandal.

So what American soldiers burned the bodies of Taliban fighters. Boo hoo.

The ocntinued hyping of so-called atrocities only inflames Muslim manger like the phony story of flushing the Koran down the toilet and the release of Abu Ghriab photos. Now the news footage of soldiers burning corpses. The Fourth Estate continued blatant or sensational alleged inhuman treatment places our troops in more danger, and America's standing in the Arab world would be at a loss. We're going to lose sleep over this, fretting there could be Islamic nations hating the U.S. Oh the anguish!

One reason given for burning the bodies, Stench Prompted U.S. Troops to Burn Corpses http://www.time.com/time/world/artic...121939,00.html

At least the Taliban fighters were not burned alive. Yet that never stopped Isalmic terrorists doing that to Americans. Example, the beheading of Nick Berg, and the four Americans taken hostage at Fallujah. They were murdered, and their remains dragged through the streets, and their corpses were hung from a bridge. Where was the world's outcry for these people?!

If true, it doesn't bother me one bit, at all.

And, I'm not sorry.

This line caught my attention: Cremating bodies is banned under Islam.

But it's OK to blow oneself up with high explosives...

Napalm, lots and lots of napalm.

**** happens on front! If the actions are deemed wrong by the CofC, the perps will be punished. Wish the media would pay as much attention to the crap Terrorists do on a daily basis as they do to the once in a great while mistakes we make.

If I heard correctly, the townspeople refused to bury the bodies, they stunk and were a health hazard. The Muslims should have acted and didn't when requested.

Next time, gather the bodies up and dump them in the town square!
