The Democrat leadership having failed to undermine Iraq via political means, failed to discredit General Petraeus, and having dipped into 11% aproval rating over their incompetent looking behavior have come up with a new, more nefarious method, baiting.
Pelosi is now hard at work baiting Turkey to attack northern Iraq and at the same time time working AGAINST the good diplomatic relations we have with Turkey. She wants to push a vote on the floor of the House for a resolution condemning Turkish acts against Armenia in WORLD WAR ONE as a genocide. Very important apparently to do this. It does nothing more then provoke Turkey while they are trying to get control over Kurdish rebels committing acts of violence across the Turkey / Iraq border.
If only Turkey were to invade northern Iraq. Then any and all progress that Petraeus had gained would evaporate, the war could be called out of control, and the shear incompetence of Congressional leadership would be overshadowed. In fact they could easily play it as "See, we told ya so" and you can bet that is the end game.
What business does the Speaker of the House have monkeying with international diplomacy? Pelosi and Reid can't even perform within their INTENDED duties but they think that they can take on MORE?
It's been almost 100 years since WWI and she feels like an inappropriate, dated, and insulting resolution with no force or power is the priority of the House right now??? What possible purpose does this have BUT to undermine Iraq?
This is why they are at 11% aproval. Chicanery is what this has been called before. Seems all they can do since leading isn't happening.
