tab,, we all know that genocide took place in Turkey under the Ottoman Empire. This is about under minding our troops. We need that base in Turkey and we need the flyover that they give us so we can get supplies to our troops in Iraq.

I’ve said this before and I’ll repeat it:

The present secular Turkish government needs our support far more than we need theirs. How long do you think it would be for that government to be overrun with jihadists were it not for U.S. support? I believe not very long.

I personally don’t care if they’re “offended” by a resolution that simply acknowledges an historical fact. It’s just a resolution in memory of those who died because they were the “infidel.” That’s all it is and it’s the right thing to do.
