Democrats Find Way to Stop War - Get Soldiers Killed
From Sea to Shining Sea ^ | 10/11/07 | Purple Mountains

In one of the most breathtaking displays in history of irresponsibility, a House Committee yesterday voted to label the mass killings of Armenians almost 100 years ago – a genocide. What’s behind this senseless resolution at this time against a country that is not at all the same country that was defeated in World War I? Is it ignorance of history? Is it total arrogance, or is it a clever attempt to hamstring deliveries of needed supplies to American forces in Iraq and complicate our attempts to keep Turkey from acting militarily against Kurdish militants? It appears that Congressional Democrats have found a way, they think, to get us out of Iraq – get lots more American soldiers killed and cause chaos in the most peaceful area of Iraq.

The MSM will not tell the American public why this is being done, so the Dims will never pay for their treason.

This one is newer than the following ones, but is a great op-ed. This is the kind of nuanced foreign policy we could have been enjoying for the past 2 1/2 years if only the People had been Wise and Elected John F. Kerry. /sarc

Turkey is getting ready for another incursion into Iraq. I’m sure the Security Council or UN General Assembly will condemn it. /sarc

We had nothing to gain and everything to lose. This Dem Congress has become a national security risk.

Since the Dems’ bills to cut off funding to the troops and cut and run have all failed, they have to resort to their back-up plan to lose the war: piss off our allies. They have decided NOW—not 90 years ago when it should have been done—to condemn the killing of Armenians as genocide, not because they actually care, but because they want to turn our allies against us so we’ll have less support in the war. And also Obama wants to bomb Pakistan, another ally, but he’d sit down and talk with our enemies. The Dems’ treason is so blatantly obvious yet no one seems to see it.
