They were thinking ahead! That is, they plotted how they could usurp and poison foreign policy to cause more distrust and bad will with valuable US ally. They thought they could once again saddle the Bush administration with perceived consequential failures for they were actually responsible.
It's kind of the way Dems are trying to portray the Rush attack as tit-for-tat with the uproar about the NYT MoveOn.org ad, when the fact is, the Left was responsible for both actions. There's no tit-for-tat anywhere, just two totally out-of-bounds vicious attacks against patriotic Americans.
Dems certainly deserve zero credit for "becoming aware" of the negative affects on Turkey. They were simply caught red-handed executing their plan.
All these treasonous Dems need to be turned out at the next voting opportunity! Especially the Constitution-disregarding, 41 DemonRat Senators.

Of course you’re right and how could I have overlooked this pre-meditated exercise in further lunacy. I swear, Dems are childish troublemakers and their voices are getting louder with the advent of the Hillary Presidency they think they have in the bag. I just hope we Republicans will unite some day soon to squash them.
