I'm not saying what the Turks did wasn't genocide--it obviously was--but why wasn't it condemned as so 90 years ago? Congress clearly never cared to do so, otherwise this would have been over and done with decades ago. Turkey is valuble to have on our side in the WOT, and it is wise not to upset them at the moment (that can be done later). The fact that Congress brought up this bill at this time is an obvious attempt to screw things over for the military. However, the Turks are being typically oversensitive, as Muslims always are, and it's a shame they won't cooperate here. But it's also a shame the Dems have chosen to upset a delicate balance at such a critical time. Are the lives of our soldiers now worth putting at a greater risk for the sake of something that happened nearly a century ago? We know what the Turks did was genocide, but publicly proclaiming it right now at a bad time is not a good idea. Wait until the war's over and then do it. It will take awhile, but it's for the good of our military at the time being.

Addition: The Dems know the Turks will be oversensitive (because Muslims always are whenever someone criticizes them) so they are taking advantage of that and using this bill as a way to get them mad at us and stop allowing us to have military bases in Turkey.

For the first time this nation is beginning to express a moral stance regarding a Muslim state and its atrocities against Armenian Christians.

Bribes, payments, propaganda, arms and other business deals, fear, and dhimmification are not enough to stop the expression of moral outrage against this corrupt parastate.

The Assyiran and Greek people also have claims of genocide against these muslim monsters.

Timing? There are contingency plans for this. Fear not. We do not need Turkey. In fact, the end is near for Turkey.
