US Attack On Our Ally Turkey?

Has anyone stopped to think of the Democrats’ motivations regarding the resolution convicting Turkey of Genocide against the Armenians back in World War I? I understand they want to make everything right even if it was something that happened before any of them were born, but their motivations are not to document genocide and list Turkey as the committer of it. No, just like raising taxes to help support the war as they claim, but rather gaining dissent against the war, this is just another tactic used to help defeat the American soldiers on the ground in Iraq.

Turkey is one of strongest allies not only in the region but in the War in Iraq as well. By passing this resolution against the Turks for something that happened so long ago, we risk Turkey pulling its support from us. Not only will we lose their support, we may lose their cooperation regarding US bases in Turkey. Turkey borders Iraq and acts as our main land based supply line into Iraq. If we lose this route into Iraq, it will become inherently difficult to get supplies to our troops in a timely manner. It will also affect our response capabilities with strike aircraft based in Turkey.

This is just another way for the Democrats to try and lose this war. They will continue to try plots such as these to try and affect the outcome of the war. Instead of just battling on the grounds that they do not believe we should be in Iraq, they have to resort to sulky activities such as these.
