Genocide Resolutions and Democrats
October 14, 2007 01:04 PM EST
There is only one reason to push a resolution condemning Turkey for
something that happened almost 100 years ago. The Democrats did not
get any activity at all on their countless resolutions to stab the
American military in the back by handing them another historical
defeat in the Middle East.
The Democrats could not get enough support for retreat from or
surrender to Islamic Fundamentalism so they are now attempting to
make things more difficult for our standing forces in Iraq.
Turkey is planning to invade Northern Iraq to root out terrorists
that have repeatedly attacked Turkish territory. Turkey is also
planning to close the American support base in Incirlik should the
Democrats manage to push their genocide resolution through the
American Congressional House.
This would have a massive impact on America’s ability to re-supply
the troops in Iraq and thus possibly force a withdrawal from the
battlefield.
To pluck one act of genocide from among the historical many to ensure
a black eye for America is unconscionable. If the American anti-Bush
side of Congress cared one whittle about genocide they would more
readily expend energy condemning Germany for their destruction of
millions of lives during the Holocaust, the Rwandans for the
Hutu-Tutsi purge, the current genocides occurring in the Congo and
the Sudan, Robert Mugabe’s assault on white farmers in Zimbabwe, the
Arabic attacks against all things Christian and Jewish, the Chinese
assaults in Tibet, the Myanmar massacre of Buddhist monks, the Syrian
oppression of the Lebanese or the genocidal actions within the former
Yugoslav territories. There are countless more poignant and more
current options for wasting time on genocide labels.
No. The only reason to act upon the lobbied request of the Armenians
is the politically expeditious slap it will cause against the Bush
Administration.
The Turkish are a very proud nation. The timing of the resolution is
suspect. Genocide might very well have been the case but even America
could be blamed for extreme acts of genocide against Native American
Indian tribes. How would the American Congress act against repeated
resolutions against America for the genocidal acts committed against
the Sioux or the Cheyenne or the Nes Pierce. One wonders.
Humans cannot seem to let the past lie in the graveyards of history.
Countries do not progress that remain steeped in anger about events
that happened in the great ago. Mexico is still upset that America
owns Texas. Russia is bent out of shape that their wall was torn down
and all the peoples they once had subjugated are no longer ruled by
communism. China has threatened to attack Taiwan immediately if they
dare to claim independence.
Real threats to America are not even being considered by the
democrats. Their chief desire is to run from responsibility,
especially if the responsibility involves protecting American
interests through any type of military action.
Democrats continually speak of `sticks and carrots’ giving carrots
away while putting their `sticks’ out of reach. North Korea got
nuclear reactors and Democrats wondered why they were lied to about
nuclear weapons programs North Korea promised Democrats they would
never develop.
Democrats believe with all their hearts that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is
just misunderstood and that he doesn’t really mean it when he says he
would like to see Israel `wiped off the face of the earth’, which, I
believe would be an act of genocide too.
No. This scumbag maneuver on behalf of Armenians is meant to destroy
a valuable relationship with a NATO ally that has been supporting our
re-supply efforts in Iraq. That’s the Democrat bottom line. If one
cannot get President Bush to do what one wants in retreating from the
field of battle, the democratic response is to find any way to force
that retreat that will keep them out of the spotlight of blame for
the ensuing defeat while, in fact, making them look caring and
thoughtful toward the plight of poor Armenians.
