What Am I Missing

It's time to sit back and try and understand the Afghanistan apologies from our fearless leader. In it's simplicity this is the sequence of events. Prisoners in a Kabul military prison were caught passing notes inside Korans. This is against Islamic law. It's considered a desecration to write in their sacred book. US soldiers confiscated said Korans and passed them along to other soldiers. These men, not knowing what they had, threw them in a fire. Since we have Afghan security forces working in US detainment centers(silly, huh!) word of this so-called blasphemy spread like a "Koran burning wildfire". The brainless, goat herding, illiterate, dung smelling citizens began to riot. The rioting turned into an assassination for two of our bravest. In order to quell the violence Barack Hussein Obama sent his sincere apology for our 'detestable' actions. So, my question is, what am I missing? Why the hell are we there? Let's have Karzai handle the Taliban himself. It's time to gather up our weapons and boys and leave. Drones don't have to be in Afghanistan or Pakistan to do their damage. Let's bomb the hell out of them. Another item; Obama might be sincere in his apology. He could be speaking to the choir, if ya' know what I mean.
