Pelosi's judgment questioned over Armenia issue | U.S. | Reuters

I said before this was really a stupid thing. And, Pelosi wanting to push for a vote was the Stupid Cherry on top of the Stupid Cake.

President George W. Bush warned the symbolic resolution to affirm the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide would harm Washington's relations with Ankara. But as long as it looked like it would pass, Pelosi stuck to her guns.

Her tone changed a bit as it lost some support. But, this is a good example of how some Dems really don't seem to "get" the war of terror, or our need to succeed in Iraq and that region. Turkey is a key ally for us, and a needed country. Maybe the push to piss them off was a strategy to undermine the war in Iraq? Either they didn't care about the likely repercussions of bothering with this useless resolution, which would be ignoring the importance of Turkey to us, or they were just too stupid to notice. In either case, it's all just plan stupid.

And, after all.. who the hell are we to determine if that was genocide or not? What the hell business is it of ours? It's a perfectly fine topic for college classrooms and places for us to debate if we want (who really wants to?), but not for our government to quibble over, and certainly not for them to vote on.

I think the biggest enemy of the Democratic party right now is the Democratic party. They were voted in because people wanted a change, and wanted to send a message to the Republican controlled government. But, I don't think this new government has done squat. No Iraq timetable (which personally, I think is stupid but that was a big part of the platform and certainly why they got many votes), gas prices still rising, healthcare is the same, borders are still porous, etc... Maybe I forgot something I read, but I don't know what they have done. Anyone? Beuller?
