Armenia?

Why the fuss over Armenia? And why right now?

Pelosi said, in defense of that question from others, that it was never the “right time”, OK, but still, why choose what is possibly the WORST time to bring this up in the last 92 years?

Perhaps Karl Rove might have sneaked into Nancy Pelosi’s bedroom in the dark of night and whispered into her ear that he was unhappy with Bush and neo-cons for sending him “on down the road” and he knew exactly how to get even by bulldozing this condemnation resolution through the House of Representatives. That would surely embarrass George Bush, and might even lead to Turkey invading Iraq from the north, thus opening up another front in WWE (War Without End).

Of course, it simply plays into the hands of George Bush and provides the neo-con arsenal with some badly needed ammunition. It gives Bush an opportunity to look statesmanlike, and also shines a bright, international spotlight on the ineptness of the Democratic Party, and their organized lack of direction. It also gives unnecessary support to the old idea that only the president should deal with other countries, otherwise surly chaos will occur.

If passed, the resolution to condemn the obviously brutal slaughter of 1915 would make not a difference in anything except to stir up old hatreds. It would not “prove” anything or be any kind of a verdict from any widely respected court of justice, but only a political slam against people no longer alive by those who see the world as a tiny place.

This condemnation only serves to reinforce why the American people, as well as the people of the world, hold the United States congress in even greater contempt than they do the American president, and why, when in this time of great peril, whenever we look around us for someone to come to America’s help we find only the pitiful democrats.
