Just funny how much of a hypocrite this guy is.Why are we in Iraq? The leader we wanted to get out of power is dead.Bush says we are there for the people of Iraq,and for their "freedom." In other words,it isn't convenient at all.He is doing it because "it's the right thing to do." Correct? Now,he wants Congress to vote down this resolution putting the genocide label on the genocide of Armenians by the Turks(during ww1...when people were busy ,and had their heads turned .)Bush doesn't want to hurt relations with Turkey......O.K...Let me just say that(overall..as a group) you can not satisfy these people(Turks.)It's impossible. No group (over a long period of time)has enjoyed a bloody battle more than this group has.It's not like these Armenians weren't slaughtered,the Turks just don't want it to be called "genocide." They say "only 500,000" were slaughtered,and not the 1.5 million that Armenians claim.That's typical Turk stuff("we did it but,it wasn't all that bad as you're saying." )Fact is that they would do the same to Greeks if they thought nobody was watching.No matter what you do,they aren't gunna like America.They aren't real friendly with anyone(except maybe Israel.....yep....too funny.)The biggest error in thinking comes from thinking the relationship between the U.S. AND TURKEY is gunna be good(if we don't pass this bill.) They will simply switch to something else they are pissed about.They aren't saying relations will be good (if we don't pass it.) Appease them,appease them,but you won't satisfy TURKS(a good war with somebody...anybody..is what will make them happy.)

it's a shame that turkey can't come to grips with its past, it might help to heal some of the lingering hard feelings with part of its population if they admit that their ancestors did indeed participate in genocide. funny that they think it doesn't qualify since 'only' 500k were killed--certainly pales in comparison to the #'s stalin and co managed to put up while in power--but what else do you call it?

Believe it or not,they are so bent that they call it war.

"Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide, says the toll has been inflated and insists that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest."-A.P.

Can you believe these people really think that b.s. can fly? They have been doing this crap for a long time.They need to be like Germany.Just admit it,and move on.They just(for whatever reason) are huge control freaks.They would spend a million bucks to fight a lawsuit (rather than just pay the 100k they know they owe somebody.)

Later Wednesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 27-21 in favor of the measure, sending it to the House floor.

President Bush strongly urged Congress to reject the bill, saying it would do "great harm" to U.S.-Turkish relations. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that 70 percent of U.S. air cargo headed for Iraq goes through Turkish air space. About a third of the fuel used by the U.S. military in Iraq also goes through Turkey.

"Access to airfields and to the roads and so on in Turkey would very much be put at risk if this resolution passes and Turkey reacts as strongly as we believe they will," Gates said.

Turkey has raised the possibility of impeding logistical and other U.S. military traffic now using the airspace.

I have to say I am amazed the President chose this pathetic way to go on this.It is totally against the moral values prevalent in this country.To let a country guilty of genocide blackmale you?Wow....f'n amazing he chose this path.He already admitted it's genocide,but gives in to the blackmale from these people.
