This is how you treat our allies?

This article describes something that is freaking stunning! It will take a minute to explain, so follow along. As you read - ask yourself - why does anyone care today?

About 100 years ago, several hundred thousand Armenians were killed in 'some kind' of conflict. The nature of that conflict is a very emotional issue to those involved.

The Armenians claim it was a Genocide against them brought on by the Turks,

The Turks say otherwise, saying it was some type of Armenian Civil conflict.

A hundred years have passed.

In 2007 a group of Jackass Democrats in Congress tried, unsuccessfully, to pass a Resolution labeling these deaths (100 years ago, remember) a Genocide. The Turks responded by threatening to withdraw their (very critical) permission for us to transit Turkey while pursuing the Iraq war. Ah-HAH! There it is.

We have found the answer to the 'why does anyone care' question. It is the REAL reason the Democrats give a damned about a 100 year old incident. Doing so would piss of the Turks. They will be less cooperative with the Military. This seems to please the Democrats!! It was a way to damage the Iraq war effort indirectly. I know, I know - that is a harsh accusation. I invite you to post your own thoughful, alternate theory as a comment.

And the Congress-critters appear to be at it again in 2009. Adding fire to this - the Messiah, on the campaign trail, announced he would recognize the deaths of the Armenians as a GENOCIDE.

At this point - why are they bothering? The Iraq war is essentially won (no thanks to the Democrats). So, perhaps, it is their way of 'punishing' Turkey for helping in the victory in Iraq that all of the Democrats so fervently hope would not happen. You think that harsh? Go back and reading all of the supportive things ANY Democrat said back then. Good Luck finding any. But I digress.

Here we are in the middle of an economic mess. Recession - here, Depression - Looming. Yet, Congress finds the time to voice an opinion about a 100 year old event. They know full well that doing so will piss of an ally. And further, taking this action will benefit the United States absolutely ZERO.

Is this what the Messiah talked about when he talked about building a 'new' global structure. Step one - piss off all the people who are currently your allies? I mean, my God, he wants to talk to the Taliban!!!! Can't congress find SOME resolution to condemn the Taliban for SOMETHING? No, they don't seem to be able to!!! But they want to poke a stick in the eye of a key ally in a very troubled part of the world. Who voted for these idiots?

Are you listening yet? Do you see what is happening? Wake up!
