Gen. David Petraeus Says Koran Burning Endangers U.S. Troops, Hurts Our War Effort

General David Petraeus says the preacher who burned the Koran is endangering our troops.

“Every security force leader’s worst nightmare is being confronted by essentially a mob, if you will, especially one that can be influenced by individuals that want to incite violence, who want to try to hijack passions, in this case, perhaps understandable passions,” Gen. Petraeus said in the Sunday interview. “Obviously it’s an additional serious security challenge in a country that faces considerable security challenges.”

In the video below, Petraeus and NATO’s Senior Civilian Representative, Mark Sidwill, condemn the actions of the Florida preacher who put the Koran on trial resulting in it being set on fire.
