(Reuters) – General Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with Pastor Terry Jones by phone on Wednesday and asked him to withdraw his support for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests – including one that ended with the death of America’s envoy to Libya. “In the brief call, Gen. Dempsey expressed his concerns over the nature of the film, the tensions it will inflame and the violence it will cause,” Dempsey’s spokesman, Colonel Dave Lapan, told Reuters. “He asked Mr. Jones to consider withdrawing his support for the film.” U.S. military officials are concerned that the film could inflame tensions in Afghanistan, where 74,000 U.S. troops are fighting. The Taliban earlier on Wednesday called on Afghans to prepare for a fight against Americans and urged insurgents to “take revenge” on U.S. soldiers over the film.

You are pulling our legs. Pussies today…. Maybe. Patton? He would spit in their eye.
A pissed off Enemy does stupid things. When they do stupid things, you kill them.
What a friggin day.
Had it been up to Patton,there’d have been no Soviet Union left after WWII,therefore,no Cold War,no invasion of Afghanistan,no Mujahadin,no “Charlie Wilson’s war”……………….Just sayin’.
This will not turn out good.
The media won’t tell the truth, and over half of the country believes the lying conniving bastards.
Meanwhile, a crucifix in a jar of piss remains “art”.
The payback for all this, when it comes, and it will come, just as The Bible predicts, won’t be pleasant. Not at all.
We are on the precipice, people.
Will you go quietly to a FEMA Camp?
What’s gonna happen when the EBT cards quit working?
Some would.
The media now adds Terry Jones to their list of people at fault for the administration’s surrender.
Why the f*ck is the Chairman of the JCS making this call? This is not in his lane.
Maybe the administration realizes its credentials are so tarnished that only a military man can speak with some degree of weight and authority.
Stick to purely military matters, you bozo! That’s what your job description entails!
Stick, I dn’t go quietly anywhere,
Unless am mission ready.
LOL?..hard tom9 type with new kitten…..
Some other Patton Quotations:
No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.

A piece of spaghetti or a military unit can only be led from the front end.

Nobody ever defended anything successfully, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.

We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won’t.
- General George Patton Jr
Patton: Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee of Thy great goodness to restrain this immoderate weather with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously harken to us as solders who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. AMEN.

A f’n GENERAL thinks this joker Jones is soooooooo important that if he says, “Ok — the movie is bad,” all the crazy muzzies will go back home and play road-building again?!?
Pray tell, Mon General, what was making them kill YOUR men before the movie came out? hm??????
While Terry Jones may or not be a horse’s ass of the first water, I think his response should be “Watch the film, show me where it’s wrong. Then we’ll chat. Otherwise, fuck you!”
Terry Jones is and is not the issue.
What is the
issuechallenge is: What does America stand for and what does that mean!America is being challenged as a nation and a principle. Americans have a choice. Defend the Nation and the principle, or follow the history of failed Empires.
We have a choice to make and it will happen in November. All of us have the opportunityto vote for our life or our death!
I heard a rumor that this General Martin Dempsey story may not be true. (By the way, I had some problem with the Reuters link.)
I don’t know one way or the other about the truth of the story, and I can’t quote a source.
Just urging caution*, that is all.

* Caution and temperance from IinD? Occasionally I get the urge. Doesn’t happen often. Don’t like it? Bite me.
By the way I think Terry Jones is both a whacko and an idiot, and no, he’s not the issue.

Thanks, fixed the link.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this story turned out to be false*.
Good thing we didn’t kill anybody or riot over it, huh?
* Indicators:
Not the kind of thing a Chairman, JCS does.
The cat’s out of the bag. A disavowal would be useless.
Well, at this point, we have them outnumbered in the United States and those overseas won’t get very far trying to walk over here. Maybe somebody should point this out to them….with a note on a 500 megaton warhead.
The Fing animals have used this film to insight their riots and now our country is using it as an excuse for their ineptness. WOW — whodathunk–a stupid movie like that would be so important. When did we get to the point of stupidity ruling the world?
^ geezerette
Re: “When did we get to the point of stupidity ruling the world?”
