The treason coalition knows we are on to them, and in order to distract are now trying to weasel out by urging a no vote — It’s not going to pass.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant for Democrats’ evil plans.
Interesting that Murtha is opposing her publicly.
So it is yet another failure for the democrats, aren’t we glad that these traitors are so very impotent :)
Go ahead Democrats; kill each other . . . please.
This has got to be stopped! Cooler heads please prevail!
Another thought. Nancy Pelosi would harm American troops so she can get the Armenian vote at home. Shame!
What the Democrats are thinking:
“On one hand, it will cause George W. Bush to lose the war... But there is also a bad side...”
- Help the enemy defeat America while simultaneously damaging Bush
or
- Piss off Moveon.org and George Soros
Looks like a no-brainer for a leftist.
one has to wonder just how many Armenian-Americans there rae in Pelosi’s district who fled the WWI purge, as the article states.
In Section 2, Paragraph 30, of House Resolution 106 the Democrats say that
The resolution calls for a "just resolution."
I wonder what they mean by that phrase..."just resolution."
Do they have some sort of punishment in mind?

In 1997, Pres.Bill Clinton gave himself a waiver of statutory restrictions on Turkey.Let's take a look at Clinton's reasons for treating Turkey well, as stated in his memorandum to CongressPresidential Determination No. 97-24 of May 23, 1997
Waiver of Statutory Restrictions To Permit Assistance to Turkey
Memorandum for the Secretary of State...
Pursuant to subsection (b) of section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, I hereby determine that it is in the national security interest of the United States that assistance be furnished to Turkey without regard to the restriction in subsection (a) of section 620I.[snip]
It is very much in our national security interests not to terminate U.S. assistance programs for Turkey. Such a termination would create significant difficulties in our bilateral relations, affecting a broad range of national security interests.It seems to me that Democrats are getting dumber with each passing year.Turkey is at the nexus of a number of issues that are critical for the U.S. on the Eurasian continent: securing peace in the Balkans, advancing a settlement in Cyprus and resolution of Aegean issues, containing Iraq and Iran, bringing stability to the Caucasus, implementing the CFE treaty, addressing the future of NATO and bringing Caspian Basin oil to the West.[snip]
Turkey is important for U.S. trade and investment, and has been designated as one of the ten big emerging markets for U.S. companies by the Department of Commerce.
There are over 3,000 uniformed military and civilian DoD personnel (excluding dependents) stationed in Turkey, a democratic, secular nation in a region with weak democratic traditions, and widespread political instability.
“The non-binding resolution would require the president to call the killing of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians between the years 1915 and 1923 “genocide.””
That’s all this resolution does; yet it’s killed every year.
Of course it won’t pass again this year. Never let “doing the right thing” get in the way of politics.
I don’t understand why an Armenian genocide resolution, so many years later, has any place whatsoever before the American congress. Why has that been brought up? Why are some legislators pushing forward on it? What is to be gained for the American people by such a resolution? And how far back in history do we really want to go? Do we want to go back to Alexander’s siege of Tyre? To Hannibal’s rampage through Italy? To the right and wrong of the Crusades? Doesn’t the congress have anything else to do? If not, could I have a refund on any of my taxes that pay their salaries?
Some of the Dhimmicrats having a rare moment of lucidity?
Forgive me if I don’t rejoice that the once-great United States is now cowering in fear at the like of Turkey. We give the money and support and then we react to them like we are sickly child and they are the school bully. What’s next, are we going to convert to Islam, so we don’t make them mad?
This very well might start a war, and will probably spell the end of NATO and of US presence in the middle east.
Someone is pushing this. The timing is very suspicious.
So...the Dems split against each other on the surge (Brian Baird et al), the candidates quarrell amongst themselves and accuse each other of things, and now the Congressional Dems are split yet again on this Turkey resolution. They are toast in 08.
This resolution is their latest plan to sabotage our efforts in Iraq. They don’t care about condemning genocide, otherwise they would have brought this up awhile ago. I’m sure our enemies really appreciate the Dems’ efforts—at a College Republicans meeting we had some Iraq vets speak to us and one of them said “I swear, I’ve seen more Jack Murtha coverage on al-Jazeera than I have anywhere else in my life!”
