QUOTE: Petraeus on Potential Danger of Burning Koran

Steve Centanni just reported that General Petraeus said the following about the potential danger caused to our troops should Florida Pastor Terry Jones go through with his plan to burn copies of the Koran on September 11th:

“Were the actual burning to take place, the safety of our soldiers and civilians would be put in jeopardy and accomplishment of the mission would be made more difficult. Images of the burning of the Koran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan and around the world, to inflame public opinion and incite violence.”
