Nancy Peligrosa is willing to risk the US already delicate situation in Iraq in the name of the appeasement of a powerful Armenian lobby that has been pushing again and again for the recognition by the US of the Armenian genocide conducted by the Ottoman Empire about a hundred years ago. Turkey is a critical NATO partner and a much more critical ally in the war in Iraq. The US uses Turkey as a rear logisitic base for its supply and air lift operations. One third of the fuel used by our military transits through Turkey (so much for the people who claim we went in for Iraqi oil!).
Angered by the Democrat led effort to officially recognize the genocide, Turkey is threatening to stop any active support to the US for the war in Iraq, review its position within the NATO alliance, and, worth of all, move into the Kurdish part of Iraq to conduct a retaliatory strike against the Kurd terrorist group (PKK) that has become emboldened by the US support for the Kurds in Iraq and resumed attacks against Turkey’s military (just slaughtered 13 border guards).
If the resolution on the genocide passes, the Democrats will be responsible for breaking whatever balance exist in Northern Iraq, pushing the Turkish military into conducting military action against one of the active American ally in the war against terrorism in Iraq. The US government will have tough choices because of Nancy’s catering to her lobbyists: side with the Kurds or with Turkey, or jeopardize its military operations in Northern Iraq, or jeopardize NATO’s Southern flank, right when Putin is taking all the steps to resume the cold war.
The genocide has happened and has been recognized by many nations already. Genocide should not be encouraged and should be denounced – but is it the right time? The risk are so high for the future of America’s war in Iraq, NATO, the region. If the resolution passes and the situation goes as predicted (Turkey banning US operations from within its borders, military incursion in Northern Iraq, NATO loss of its Southern flank), the Democrat will bear the responsibility of the total collapse of that region of the world, our war effort, and NATO coalition.
Way to go! I wonder what Billary-ous and Osama are thinking of this backstabbing?
