If you support the Democrats and are a Liberal or Progressive, I suppose that many people are giving Nancy Pelosi some breathing room in the hopes that she will see the light and put impeachment “back on the table”, but after reading this story and the subsequent fallout from Turkey, a NATO ally and a country that plays an important role in Bush’s War in Iraq - I’m convinced Pelosi is an abject failure as the Speaker of The House, and because of her decision to “take impeachment off the table”, many of “we the people” believe she has taken it upon herself to make a decision that is contrary to the will of the people that voted the Democrats into power. To state that Turkey played an important role in the logistics of supplying our troops and a host of other activities beneficial to the United States would be an understatement. The loss of Turkey as an ally, the use of their air space, the intricate and important aid they provide to resupply our troops in Iraq, if lost, will be extremely expensive as the U.S. scrambles to make other arrangements....


...My argument is that the Bill should have never been allowed to be introduced at this particular time in history. I understand this will not go over well in the Armenian community, and especially those that support this Bill - however, the timing is awful, no one evidently thought about the consequences of pushing through a Bill like this while Middle-East tensions are rising by the day, and whether we agree with Bush or not, common-sense issues demand answers that are appropriate, not irresponsible and hamper our efforts to soothe temperaments throughout a region that is volatile and ready into explode into chaos. Throwing fuel on the fire is irresponsible and contrary to our best interests; No, I’m not giving Turkey a pass because we desperately need their continued help and assistance - I’m simply stating that this is a matter that can be dealt with at a later date, and the introduction of this Bill when Congress is aware of Turkey’s importance in a two-front war smacks of rank incompetence on the part of Pelosi and those that introduced the Bill.

Ask yourselves this: Speaker Pelosi stated that “There’s never been a good time,” - “and it wasn’t the right time because of the Soviet Union. Then that fell, and then it wasn’t the right time because of the Gulf War One. And then it wasn’t the right time because of overflights of Iraq.” Is it the right time when we’re in the middle of a conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, and war with Iran is a real possibility in the very near future? As we lose allies that once supported us in Iraq, is it time to lose another ally, this time one as important as Turkey? Just because we needed to make a statement - and then chose the worst possible time to even allow it to be brought-up on the House Floor!

There are serious matters that this Congress should be concerned with, and halting our rapid decent into fascism and reigning-in a rogue President should trump any agenda that is not specifically geared toward the peoples effort to halt the Iraq War and return our country to its Constitutional requirements and beliefs. This is legislation that is ill-timed, and if anything, is designed to cause Bush even more trouble as we mobilize as a nation to rid ourselves of the tyrants that have squatted in the White House...

Even the Turkish military are stating we “shot ourselves in the foot” - and I imagine the rest of the world is viewing our Congress with the same disdain they do President Bush...ARTICLE CONCLUDES AT LINK
