President Reagan and previous Congresses already have dealt with the Armenain genocide: In 1981, Ronald Reagan recognized the Armenian genocide in a speech about the Holocaust. In 1984 Congress passed a resolution setting April 24 as a day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide. In 1996 and 2004 resolutions were passed that limited the usage of U.S. aid to Turkey that was being used to fund the Turkish lobby in the United States.

The genocide should not be ignored, but since it has already been addressed, that’s rather indicative that Pelosi is doing this just to get the Turks mad—why the Turks? Well, because 70% of supplies get to our troops in Iraq via Turkey. It’s her latest strategy on how to lose the war.
