Pelosi's Myopia

It's unconscionable. I thought the libs were a peace at any price crowd but the recent political moves by Pelosi & Co. are more than likely going to start another war.



Still embittered over the failure to get a resolution passed in Congress for early troop withdrawal the Democrats decided to get things done in another manner which is both underhanded and morally reprehensible. What did they do? The decided to bring to the house floor a resolution condemning the genocide committed by Turkey on Aremenians in 1915. An event nearly 100 years old, denied by Turkey, and lobbied for by Armenians in America for years. Why this would be on the back burner for official Congressional condemnation is beyond understanding but 'ol Nance is apparently just keeping her promise to bring it to the floor. What spectacular timing.

The Insult

Meanwhile, back in Turkey, the Turkish parliament in highly pissed off fashion gave the green light for a march into Northern Iraq to finish off the pesky Kurds at any time. Specifically upwards of 150,000 troops are on high alert ready to heed the order to hunt down the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), considered the rebel militant group fighting for independence and a structured homeland, not unlike the Palestinians.

The Injury

Did you know that almost 75% of all Iraq war supplies are routed through Turkey? We have access to their airspace for command and control, access to landing strips, communications, bridges, routes and roads. The U.S. moves munitions, water, food, fuel, and other essential materials for the war effort. This is ALL in jeopardy now because of the incredibly sophomoric shenanigans of Nancy Pelosi and her fawning Democrat parasites. I wonder if they knew what would happen and did it anyway, or if this is the rule of unintended consequences come to get it's pound of flesh. Often I wish stupidity were painful and in this case our representatives would be pleading for morphine.



Update

It seems something has scared the 40+ Democrats who initially agreed to the vote and even Nancy herself as the backtracking has begun. Several prominent Democrats were on television recanting and making ersatz overtures about protecting the troops in a time of war. What in the world could have frightened them? My guess is twofold.

1. The Republicans would paint them, or in this case simply highlight them, as horrifically destructive to the war effort, undermining and endangering the troops in the field, and starting another war. They would be responsible for all the deaths in that war and whatever other wars would spring up as a result. If Turkey can march in to settle scores why not Saudi Arabia, or Iran (oh wait, they're already there) or some other neighbor with a real or imagined interest?

2. The Dems are expecting a win in the presidential elections and were scolded by the she-devil's machine noting that any additional problems they make for the country now while Bush is in charge they're going to have to fix themselves when he's not. Nothing is more important, *nothing*, than the acquisition and retention of power in DC. This would be short lived with chaos popping up in new places around the world, only getting worse in the Democratic administration. Mid-term elections would be brutal.

Your constituents must be so proud Nancy, as we all are. How do these people sleep at night?
