What in the hell is wrong with Nancy Pelosi and the rest of those twits up on Capitol Hill that they could even consider sending to the floor of the House of Representatives a resolution labeling the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by Turkey in 1915 as Genocide. That this is true has been well documented, but damn, it happened in 1915. I'm not a mathematician, as is evidenced by the fact that my wife doesn't allow me to balance the checkbook, but I believe 1915 was 92 years ago. Do they realize that there cannot be more than a handful of the survivors of that Genocide still alive? Of course they do. Do they think the survivors will be grateful to them for condemning Turkey? If they think that, they are truly silly people in that I would imagine that anyone who was born as the Genocide was occurring is now about 92 years old, and while I don’t know, I will hazard a guess that these unfortunates are more concerned with staying alive than they are with a resolution condemning their murderers. I know that our Congressmen and Congresswomen, henceforth referred to as idiots, have a lot on their plate, but taking 92 years after the Genocide to condemn the Turkish people for the actions of their ancestors is meaningless; except as an attempt to end U. S. involvement in Iraq by cutting off the physical flow of supplies needed by our troops.
As you know, and if you didn’t know before you do now, about 70 percent of the supplies needed to sustain out force in Iraq, comes through Turkey. Here’s the kicker. Turkey has already warned the United States that any action to condemn them (Turks) for the Armenian Genocide that happened 92 years ago, may cause the Turkish Government to withdraw its permission to allow the U.S. military to flow supplies to Iraq. If they do, the flow of supplies to our men and women may be compromised to an extent that they must totally, or even partially, withdraw from Iraq. If the flow of supplies to Iraq is disrupted because of the proposed Congressional action, the members of Congress who vote to support such action are traitors.
