Democrats support the troops, bbbbbut …
… not enough to refrain from deliberately alienating a key ally in the war on terror (Turkey) at a crucial time during the Iraq war. Joust The Facts has a good summary of the issue here.
Related to this, the idiotic Soros-funded Media Matters can’t seem to understand the reason why candidate GWB’s 2000 pledge to recognize the genocide of Armenians versus President GWB’s 2007 position that being in the middle of a war in Iraq is not exactly the best time to do so is not an inconsistent position.
And check out this silly columnist’s piece, where the assumption is made that President Bush doesn’t know what genocide even is. I’d say GWB has done more in an effort to prevent genocide worldwide D. Parvaz ever will.
Let’s also not forget how many Democrats never wanted us to go to war in Iraq in the first place, which would have meant that the genocide taking place there under the reign of Saddam Hussein would have continued. The Democrats’ selective “concerns” about genocide is getting tiresome.
Speaking of, where are the House and Senate resolutions condemning candidates Clinton and Obama for essentially suggesting that they didn’t care whether or not genocide happened in Iraq once they, if one of them is elected president, scaled down and eventually (in short order) pulled our troops out of Iraq? Oh, that’s right, we’re only interested in condemning genocide that happened nearly 90 years ago by another country, not the genocide we’ll have on our own hands if either of those two “progressives” get elected as CIC and pull US forces out of Iraq.

It makes perfect sense, they sabotage relations with one of our allies and they can still blame Bush for our lowly “standing among the world”.
They couldn’t care less about the Iraqis or Armenians they only care about getting more power, and it’s only going to get worse as we draw closer to the election.
- Madam Speaker “The trouble with Nancy” Pelosi has her hands full with the loyal idiot opposition camped out in her front yard.
- By the by, one of the reasons this fails is several of the Dems in Congress, whom just happen to have sizable Turkish trade agreements back home in their constituency, have come out loudly against her and the resolution. Funny how that works.
- BBH –
Uh, why don’t the Turks just accept the fact the Ottoman Empire slaughtered millions and say it didn’t happen on their watch? If nothing else, Bill Clinton has shown how effective it is to bite the lower lip to show emotion, and then say “it’s time to move on.”
Oh, and does anyone remember the Turks — our “loyal ally” — refused permission to allow our troops and aircraft to use Turkey’s territory when war began with Saddam? With allies like that, why not called North Korea one.
The thing I haven’t heard in this whole mess, why is this even coming up now? What is the expected upside by the dims bringing this up for vote or for that matter, discussion? The only plausible explanation, they are trying to undermine the Iraq war to hurt the President and Republicans.
This whole business is surrealistic. I don’t know why Congress has decided to waste more time on yet another meaningless resolution. If the legislative branch has no interest in actually enacting legislation, perhaps they should take up another of their constitutional duties and discuss the issuing of “letters of marque and reprisal.” That could at least provide some amusement and might increase the ratings for CSPAN.
To Banjo,
I agree with you. I think the Turks, none of whom now alive had anything to do with this massacre, simply ought to apologize and move on. And yes, the Turks are not exactly what I would call an ally. I’d add, too, that I am puzzled why the Turks would be acting so snarky precisely when they want to enter the EU.
