Since the US did criticize at the time, though not loudly, and since it's an issue we had only tangental exposure to at the time, it probably would have been better if this didn't come up formally. But it has, and it was genocide, so I don't see how anyone can vote against it, nor how GWB can fail to sign it if it gets that far.

Yes, it was genocied, but this resolution is part of a new strategy to damage our efforts in Iraq. It will be an insult to our ally, the Turks, who are being extremely helpful in the movement of equipment into Iraq and in other ways. The whole point of this is to jeopardize our relationship and their help. It is of a piece with the attack on Blackwater in the attempt to cause us to lose in Iraq by tangential means.
