Yup. Pelosi’s trick, as do all the stupid things liberals do, are meant to undermine positive progress by the US throughout the world.

It’s not the first time, nor will it be the last.

What amazes me is how many people vote such idiots into office.

She’s also done a fine job of fixing our problems with Syria and Assad.

What gibberish! Turkey a democracy? LOL.

That has got to be the most stupid thing I’ve seen in a while.

[Badeye]

Pelosi’s incompetence used to be more amusing than damaging.

Thats no longer true. Now its frightening.

...we will have three choices, all of them bad. We could defend the Kurds, which means war with the only Middle Eastern Muslim democracy and a distraction from stabilizing Iraq and containing Iran. We could sit on our hands and alienate the Iraqi Kurds, who won't be able to defend themselves, while the entire north dissolves into guerilla warfare. We could stand between the two groups and try to defend a DMZ, and get our collective asses shot off.

Or, fourth, get the UN to intervene and send a "Peacekeeping Force" to monitor the situation.........I'm betting on #4.............

It certainly sucks when the nation has fools for leaders.

CONGRESS HAS ALREADY ACKNOWELDGED THE TURKISH MASSACRES OF ARMENIANS AS GENOCIDE. In 1981 President 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 fact that they are bringing this up now says they are only interesting in cutting off supply routes to our troops in Iraq, 70% of which are in Turkey. It's all about politics.

[Goodness]

Blaming Pelosi’s trick for this is a bit disengenuous. Turkey has been champing at the bit to go after the PPK for ages. If PPK geurillas have been attacking across the border, the Turks have legitimate reasons to do so.

While Pelosi’s stunt poured gasoline on an already inflamed issue, the article correctly pointed out that even without her referendum the U.S. has little or no influence over what our Nato partners do. Turkey will strike the Kurds regardless of what we say.

[Ancesthntr]

If the RNC doesn’t immediately start running a commercial decrying her actions, overlayed with the Turkish response, then it is truly hopeless. I’d also like to hear a few of the Republican candidates call for her resignation, and an advance apology to the families of any soldiers who may be killed in such a conflict.
