Democrats: War Mongers

Turkey threatens repercussions for U.S. : So the Democrats have decided after 80 years to let the Turks know they disapprove of actions inflicted upon Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. A dumb move on the part of the Democrats, or is it just a Machiavellian tactic? I hate to say it, but the timing reeks of a Machiavellian tactic... This really is something to post votes up on because these people (the dems) are voting DIRECTLY for more war. Once they come in... I'll get the names.


Nancy Pelosi on the timing: “Why do it now? Because there’s never a good time and all of us in the Democratic leadership have supported” it, she said.

From the article: Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships attacked suspected positions of Kurdish rebels on the border this week and Turkey's parliament was expected to vote next week on a proposal to allow the military to pursue a large-scale offensive in northern Iraq.


From the article: Historians estimate up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I. Turkey denies the deaths constituted genocide, saying the killings didn't come from a coordinated campaign but rather during unrest accompanying the Ottoman Empire's collapse.

They are right... about it being genocide. But does this 80 year old horrible event really need to be brought up again? Additionally the 1 million dollar question is why are the Democrats bringing it up now in the middle of a war where the Turkish are amongst our only allies in the area? My morbid guess is to make things worse. Intentionally. Their few attempts to scale back the Iraq war failed and this is their new morally bankrupt tactic. Burn more bridges, cause more death, destabilize a peaceful region of Iraq, all with the hopes that you can blame it on Bush and the GOP with the intent of getting VOTES AND POWER. Nothing more, Nothing less. Evil. Despicable. Or incredibly poor judgement. It's as though they are playing with the emotions and prejudices of a region, just to make their own dreams of grandeur come true.
