inconvenient

Just funny how much of a hypocrite this guy is.Why are we in Iraq? The leader we wanted to get out of power is dead.Bush says we are there for the people of Iraq,and for their "freedom." In other words,it isn't convenient at all.He is doing it because "it's the right thing to do." Correct? Now,he wants Congress to vote down this resolution putting the genocide label on the genocide of Armenians by the Turks(during ww1...when people were busy ,and had their heads turned .)Bush doesn't want to hurt relations with Turkey......O.K...Let me just say that(overall..as a group) you can not satisfy these people(Turks.)It's impossible. No group (over a long period of time)has enjoyed a bloody battle more than this group has.It's not like these Armenians weren't slaughtered,the Turks just don't want it to be called "genocide." They say "only 500,000" were slaughtered,and not the 1.5 million that Armenians claim.That's typical Turk stuff("we did it but,it wasn't all that bad as you're saying." )Fact is that they would do the same to Greeks if they thought nobody was watching.No matter what you do,they aren't gunna like America.They aren't real friendly with anyone(except maybe Israel.....yep....too funny.)The biggest error in thinking comes from thinking the relationship between the U.S. AND TURKEY is gunna be good(if we don't pass this bill.) They will simply switch to something else they are pissed about.They aren't saying relations will be good (if we don't pass it.) Appease them,appease them,but you won't satisfy TURKS(a good war with somebody...anybody..is what will make them happy.)

it's a shame that turkey can't come to grips with its past, it might help to heal some of the lingering hard feelings with part of its population if they admit that their ancestors did indeed participate in genocide. funny that they think it doesn't qualify since 'only' 500k were killed--certainly pales in comparison to the #'s stalin and co managed to put up while in power--but what else do you call it?

Believe it or not,they are so bent that they call it war.

"Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide, says the toll has been inflated and insists that those killed were victims of civil war and unrest."-A.P.


Can you believe these people really think that b.s. can fly? They have been doing this crap for a long time.They need to be like Germany.Just admit it,and move on.They just(for whatever reason) are huge control freaks.They would spend a million bucks to fight a lawsuit (rather than just pay the 100k they know they owe somebody.)

Later Wednesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 27-21 in favor of the measure, sending it to the House floor.

President Bush strongly urged Congress to reject the bill, saying it would do "great harm" to U.S.-Turkish relations. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that 70 percent of U.S. air cargo headed for Iraq goes through Turkish air space. About a third of the fuel used by the U.S. military in Iraq also goes through Turkey.

"Access to airfields and to the roads and so on in Turkey would very much be put at risk if this resolution passes and Turkey reacts as strongly as we believe they will," Gates said.

Turkey has raised the possibility of impeding logistical and other U.S. military traffic now using the airspace.

I have to say I am amazed the President chose this pathetic way to go on this.It is totally against the moral values prevalent in this country.To let a country guilty of genocide blackmale you?Wow....f'n amazing he chose this path.He already admitted it's genocide,but gives in to the blackmale from these people.

Kinky

lol....Pathetic.....I used to be able to spell.I am too far away from the time I learned to spell these words.l am gunna have to start using spellcheck.In this particular case,though it wor..................uh,no,I better not go there.

Don't give in to these people.It's a country that we can't begin to understand.The truth has never been of significance to that society.This is a country that calls itself Western,but has very little free speech allowed. Citizens get arrested for saying anything "anti-Turkish." I have emails in my possession that could send this kid (the singer down below on the youtube links) to prison(if I were to send them anonymously to Turk authorities.)You can't say something like f Ataturk(the guy who started the modern-day "SECULAR" Turkey in 1923.) It's basically a very Nationalistic Fascist type country.They can not be trusted at all.Bush is nuts to have sided with these thugs on this genocide bill.Yea,Russians were in the far Eastern part of Turkey FOR A WHILE during WW1.Some ethnic Armenians(who's people had lived in Turkey for a thousand years) sided with the Russians.So,there were wartime atrocities in that warzone.O.K.,but the OTTOMAN TURKS used that as an excuse to start slaughtering Armenians all over the country.In Istanbull they just rounded them up one day and hung the prominent Armenians living there.Istanbull is over on the Western coast of Turkey.That was simply slaughter.It's a nation of thugs.Nobody should be surprised that they aren't willing to admit this stuff.They are expert liars,deceivers,and expert excuse makers.These aren't "friends" as BUSH would like to think.If it wasn't this genocide thing,they would find something else to be upset about.It's what they do.They are good at it.These people even cut off youtube one time when a Greek put up a video making fun of ATATURK. Can you imagine? Trying to control that much? The laws are very vague there(so they can use them very easily to do whatever they want.)Typical would be a law against acts that are against morality...LOL...Seriously,that's what we got here.That's how vague they are.They want to get into the European Union.It will never happen.They haven't done even 5% of the changes needed (as far as human rights/free speech go.)

We are being stiffed on rye bread and this is what you people talk about??

K..ENJOY....

Oh boy.














Whoa.


















Whew.












Thudder Shudder.














Brown sugar is a commodity I find more attractive than rye bread...all of a sudden.










OOOOOOOOOOO

The Armenians rarely catch a break.

Why does the US Senate vote on resolutions on things that happened in a foreign country 80 years ago? What the hell difference does it make to the people killed? We have no dog in the fight and to stir **** and possibly make things worse in a unstable part of the world for no tangible good, seems so typical of modern day politicians.

Chucksta, here is the problem your boy GEEDUBB has.He is in Iraq "because it's the right thing to do." It's for "freedom." It's been sold as a moral thing(we long ago got rid of the dictator.)We could get out,but it'd be the "wrong thing to do." Genocide has to be pointed out,or I guarantee you these same people(TURKS) will do this again(if they think they can get away with it.) They hate the KURDS,and the Greeks.This only "recognizes" that something happened.We aren't punishing them.They don't want it to be recognized by the rest of the world.They want to get away with it(without the world ever saying this officially did take place.)This guy does a lot of stuff because it's the moral thing to do,and now he wants to ignore a dog pissing on the furniture.You can't do that.You lose all credibility.We would be like the TURKS(LIARS ,DECEIVERS,OPPORTUNISTS,THUGS.) Another thing you are missing is a point I made previously...You can not satisfy these people.So,don't go down this blackmail road,because it won't end here.There is nothing wrong with simply saying this took place,and it shouldn't ever take place again.Just because he thinks they are his friends doesn't mean it's right to give them a pass(yes they have had a pass on this for 90 years,and it's never been a good time to document it.)

You sound like both of my late grandfathers; both Armenians from Turkey. One from Keyseri (where my father was born) and the other from Izmir. The last of the "survivors" are in their late 90's. That the reason for the push on this.

altho this may bring discomfort to the descendants of those who perpetrated the genocide, and to those in power now who don't want to recognize that it happened, it did indeed happen--and as sent so stud said, there was a push for this as there are so few armenians left from that period in time.

it may stir up trouble, but we shouldn't hide from the truth, or be fearful of speaking out.

also, since it was 80 years ago, you could also ask why the Turks are so pissed off about a non binding resolution, and why things will 'never be the same' according to one of the top Turkish pols.

we have a history of standing up for the little guy, or taking sides with the underdog. this is another example of that. better to take a stand imo than to kowtow to thugs and their threats. and i would think that 1.5 million lives lost is certainly something to pass a resolution about.

maybe shouldn't be...but we are. we're the only super power, and other countries look to us and ask for our input--whether they agree with it or not.
also, many say we shouldn't be involved elsewhere, but any time anything erupts, or seems about to be, we are the first ones that people say should 'do something'.

But any talk of "this is right to do" is really just a side issue. The resolution passed the FR committee 27-21 and it will go to the floor only because Pelosi will have it sent. A nearly identical relolution passed 40-5 (or so ) 2-3 years ago but Boehner - Repub leader - shut it down. There is no magic to why this is going through now; it's pure politics. The U.S. has been cool to Armenia since the '99 regional protection deal Armenia signed with Russia. 4,000 or so Russian troops guard Armenia's borders with Turkey and Iran. Since the late 90's U.S. aid to Armenia has gone from about $110 mil/year to $65 mil.

The architects of this are the Russians who seek to increase their influence in the Caucuses region. The resolution itself is an ok thing but it's nothing more than Democrats undermining Bush at the behest of Russia. The Armenians are just going along for the ride.

yeah, i know--it all comes down to politics. but i think bush is on the wrong side of it this time. he wants the easy way, instead of what's right in this case. it would be easier to kowtow to the turks in this regard--and of course as a non binding resolution, it really doesn't mean a whole lot. but calling something what it is shouldn't be wrong. and this certainly shouldn't have a lasting effect on our relations with the turks. that's just laughable. but then, maybe once upon a time, george the third probably thought we'd be eternal enemies.

I can tell you exactly why the Turks are slamming their spoons so hard against the top of their highchairs. They are not at all used to their sins being talked about. It's against the law to talk(in any way) negatively about TURKEY.They are not equipped to deal with being talked about.To not be able to "shut somebody up right now" is simply freaking them out.This comes with zero sanctions or penalties.It's simply free speech.The evidence will show that the Turks made Armenians march (without food or water) down towards the heat of Syria.This was away from any fighting between Turks n' Russians/Armenians in Eastern Turkey.When the rest of the World had their eyes on WW1,this is what the Turks were up to. I wouldn't be thrilled about my ethnic group doing it,but they are simply nuts to keep denying they did it.

They dont deny it. (A few bizarre groups and their politcal strongmen in the army), but they have admitted many times to the US in private that this was/is a black mark in their history.
They know what happened. The timing is what is interesting. Its the timing they really take exception to.

STS's insight is very interesting. I had not heard it mentioned from that perspective.

However, I will say Americans on the whole are ignorant of what went on. I met an Armenian girl in college and she told me all about it and I read about it and could not quite figure out why it was not mentioned. At least along with the Khmer Rouge and what they did in Cambodia after the Vietnam war. It may not have been as systematic and well documented as the holocaust, and the number of people that were slaughtered was not as great... But it was certainly a very sad moment in human history.

They deny it every f'n day.The same lie comes out of their mouths..

" It was the result of ethnic conflict caused by war,and just as many Turks died as Armenians."

It's a lie.They have lied for 90 years about this,and that's why this bill is going to be passed.If they admitted it,then this bill wouldn't exist.It's not Russians causing this bill.It's the arrogant TURKS who are quite frankly surprised when somebody has the nad to call them on a lie,and history will document BUSH getting in their fascist beds.There is no free speech in that country.You say anything about the founder of modern Turkey(ATATURK,) and you'll be arrested.Bush is very hit and miss on what he is offended by.This is not that far from a typical 70's era South American Dictatorship.Simply because they are ULTRA-NATIONALISTIC(instead of religious fundamentalists) doesn't mean we should let them dictate our policy decisions.It's inconvenient to disappoint them,but we shouldn't want to be anything like these people. You know,ya can't just (as a citizen) leave that country to go somewhere.I know somebody who simply can't get out of there,and they sure can't come to the U.S. Maybe if they lie and say they are just leaving to visit Germany.It's amazing how these 2 countries(Turkey/Germany) are linked up.I think it's because they are both so nationalistic(historically,) and both like to take over other countries(conquer..start an empire.)

Scuds they dont deny it. They deny it in public but they are not stupid. And the common man on the street of Turkey that is educated knows it also. My Uncle was a diplomat in Ankara for 10 years. He really did not like Turkey and said they are a very rough bunch, but they know that the world knows. Its for their public consumption and it works on the uneducated.

We basically do the same thing here, it just does not work nearly as well because the press is so free to operate. And the Military here knows they serve the people here. In Turkey, its not quite that clear. The military is very strong... probably the main reason they are still considered allies. This is a majority Muslim country. The Military in Turkey is the single most powerful entity that makes sure Church and State do not mix. Its an odd arrangement.

If you had somebody rip you off ,then probably 1 thing upsets you more than the money.That would be that they are known as "good people." Only you and the guy who did you wrong know he is like this.Well,now imagine if it was murder of an ethnic group.The only justice the Armenians can get is to have these thugs known as thugs.To us,it is not that particularly important,but I can see why the Armenians need to have this happen.There couldn't be anything much worse than having your gandparents slaughtered,and then the criminals denying it,or saying "just as many Turks died." That would be sick.

Agreed.

The timing is just dumb.
How about passing this when the Turks did not let us
use airbases that might have led to a very diff.
outcome in Iraq. People forget we could have got a
hell of a lot more soldiers into Iraq quicker if Turkey
would have helped by letting use bases. This was a huge
problem.

This is part of the reason I believe that the infrastructure
of Iraq was destroyed, we did not send more troops to
begin with so we could get the heck out quicker. Looting was
rampant all over and the wrong guys got the guns very
early on. Huge mistake. Of course Turkey did not want the
Kurds set free. The occasionally harassing of the Kurds by
Hussein was welcomed. Well guess what... it worked out the
wrong way for Turkey and US.

Well,he had time to get the f out of IRAQ,but he is crap at getting out of trouble,and damn good at getting in to it.Wouldn't be such a big deal if he had gotten us out of that **** hole,but he is inept.He didn't get us out,and so people voted for this house of reps.(Democratic majority.) The American people wanted us out.They voted to do that.He thumbed his nose at his own people.So,don't tell me the timing is wrong.He had the time.His own people told him it was time,and he ignored them.Now he is in a tough spot,and he is in it because he went against his own people,and these are the consequences.Get the f out,and you wouldn't of had to rely on Turkey,and you probably wouldn't of had this bill come up,because the DEMS. wouldn't of gotten the control of the house(if he had gotten us out of IRAQ.) It all adds up.He thumbed his nose at the electorate one too many times.Don't cry now,bitch,you made this bed,and you gunna sleep right in it like a good cowboy.Can't always get your way....This is something he is not really good at understanding,and that's why he is having to repeatedly kiss the butt of these thug TURKS.It's very unattractive (to say the least,)but this is his own fault(for not accepting reality.) Things aren't going his way.They aren't supposed to.Not when he refuses to accept reality of the election(that's what caused all this..he refuses to accept that the American People disagreed with him.) Like any control freak.."he knows better than the people" ...Should have been smarter,and a lot less stubborn.The Democrats are in there,because he ignored the American people's views about this war.Now he is pissed that the DEMS are making his war inconvenient to run? ......Dumbo...wake up.

People refuse to accept that you will never make these Turks happy enough to get what you need from them(when you want it.)It was o.k. for them to deny us many times in the last 15 years,but people still think they are our friends.They are 2-faced calculating thugs.That won't change.It isn't just this bill about genocide...o.k.? They also say we should control the KURDS for them...You can never satisfy these opportunistic thugs,and that's what people can't understand.It will always be endless demands from these people.Always been that way.There are always conditions,and remember
these "friends" wouldn't let us use their air space in the Gulf War.They will always be the deciders.That's the nature of these bitches.They will be our friends when they want to be,and you can not rely on them.They constantly measure,and weigh.You will now see just how nutty this country is.Lets start with this latest threat from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, said on CNN-Turk television today(Tuesday)Erdogan compared the resolution to a

"summary execution.Nobody has the right to judge Turkey like this.Those who dare confront an important country like Turkey will pay the price."

.....Well,all the facts are there for people to see it was genocide.So,people(if they choose to) can go look at the furniture ya pissed on.I mean really this is just like anybody who has a male dog that marks furniture.The dogs don't want you to point it out to them.They know they did it,but you better not confront them about it.The dog wants ya to do what ya got to do to feel better(clean up their piss.) Then what happens? I guarantee you the dog will mark that same spot again.They aren't real happy about this stain being shown to the world like this.They are basically growling (and showing teeth) right now at Pelosi.They have almost moved right past BUSH(by now,)because they finally realize he doesn't control this situation that they want controlled.It took a full week for these thugs to understand that.

These thugs keep your a good number of Islamic fundamentalist suicide bombers tied up. Some times the choices you have are not the best. You want to deal with an Islamic Fundamentalist Militant state the size of Turkey with by far the best trained armed forces? Good luck with that.

Again all this blustering is wannabe public consumption. Turkey knows exactly what they did. And they know we know. And they know the Europeans know. Its no secret. And I guarantee you they are ashamed. It was one of the main sticking points of them having such a difficult time trying to enter NATO.

Here is the typical response by Turks to the genocide topic....Lovely....These thugs need to be kept in check,or they will slaughter other races.To say it happened 90 years ago is to ignore that these are very racist people that have been taught to value Turk blood(and Turkey Nationalism)over anything else(yes,it is more important to them than Islam.)

I will answer for him if I might.
I think Scuds is basically good people.
He clearly does not like people involved
in terribly lopsided massacres denying
anything ever happened.

He does seem to try and champion the downtrodden
and its clear the Armenians got slaughtered.
Most people dont give a damn because it
has very little direct effect on the US.
But other people do and Scuds is one of those
people.

Cant believe I say these kind of things about
bitter people that love to make things simple (ex.
the entire south is prejudice and backwards while
California is an all-knowing omnipotent entity of
pure thought.)

And who knows. Maybe he has some Armenian
relatives.

Well,this link that I put up should tell you why.I have seen what these TURKS write on youtube etc. about Greeks,Armenians ,Kurds,and Americans.I know there is something very,very wrong with the way these people are raised,and taught that their race(TURKS) is a superior group of conquerors of lesser races.This is why things went wrong in both Germany,and Japan.Those 2 are evidently controlled.The Turks did the same(but on a smaller "in country" way in the early part of last century,and I can certainly see them doing it again.I have a TURKISH "friend" in Turkey who can't be trusted to tell the truth.Says he has no problem signing a contract,then says "chill.".he'll sign it. Then he says "o.k. tell me what to do,and I'LL DO IT. Then a week later he says he can't sign because he is in an isolated village.Calls me selfish and impatient for asking him to sign something he was supposed to sign 10 days earlier.Trust me,that was a stall,and I knew that.He said he would sign when he got back home in Ankara.He has been back in Ankara for probably 2 weeks atleast.Now has not signed it after being back in his regular location.O.K.? See he got a little money for portions of some songs he wrote.It's only like $350,so it's not a big deal,but believe me it's not good to have somebody lie what? 5 or 6 times...lol.....There is something very wrong with this group of people...To lie that easily....I have it all in emails.If I mail him his lies,he will go into the familiar "you don't know what I'm going through here,you just get your mind stuck on one issue,and you won't let up." ..........LOL...I COULDN'T just write this,o.k. They are so far off it's hard to explain...Mind you,he is only half Turkish,and blows up if I call him "TURK"......He is half Turk(with almost all Turk people around him,but objects to being considered a TURK. I think he isn't accepted that well,because he isn't 100% TURK. Anyways,yes I know how much these people like to kick other peoples asses,and I know they can't be trusted.Not a good mix...Racism,Warlovers,and untrustworthy...Very dangerous people....bottle rocket tempers....it's like a whole country of mental patients,and that's how they are acting(the public and the leaders) over this non-binding resolution about a 90 year old genocide.Look at the link,man. That doesn't bother you? They aren't trying to be funny.They are serious.It's usually about Greeks,but now they are talking about the Armenians(you would think they would leave them alone by now) because they blame them for the resolution..........See 3 links below for bullshit artist singing.The biggest problem is he has a very unique voice.Believe me it's a voice worth a lot more than $350(particularly in a couple years,because he gets technically better each month.)He already can sing Chris Brown(an extremely popular r n'b-hip hop singer) SONGS BETTER THAN CHRIS BROWN CAN.He is talented,and that is corrupting me.Look at this actor.Doesn't look like a liar,but..oh oh oh .lol.

To put it simpler.....I see Bush do something like IRAQ,OR THE DALAI LAMA on moral "right thing to do" type arguments.Then I see him want to overlook the immoral things that others do,and yes,to me,these Turks shouldn't be blackmailing us(that's immoral too,) and getting away with it.I know how these TURKS will keep changing the goal line every chance they can.They want us to kill these KURDS for them,or else they will invade northern IRAQ.ALWAYS THESE THUGS demand ,demand ,demand.It's almost like they can't be happy unless they have some demands they aren't getting fulfilled by the U.S...

"Cant believe I say these kind of things about
bitter people that love to make things simple (ex.
the entire south is prejudice and backwards while
California is an all-knowing omnipotent entity of
pure thought.")

Well,I think the term I have used for the South is HEE HAW.Lets see,what state down there didn't want this fascist appeaser to get another 4 years? HUH? He is appeasing this genocidal fascist state that has state -owned press,and virtually no free speech.Giving into these blackmailing thugs.Here read it again :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsk8Bn4Ff8o

You really think they regret killing these people? As a block,the South voted for this guy......o.k.? I didn't just make it up.They're pretty predictable in their ways of voting for guys like this.Guys that will, on the one hand,piss off China( by giving awards etc. to the Dalai Lama,)and then turn right around and give in to the fascists in Turkey.Simply allow himself be blackmailed because it's a lot easier than standing up to denounce their thug ways of offing people they don't like.This hatred is still there.The TURKS,GREEKS,ARMENIANS,KURDS...The TURKS hate all 3...o.K.? THAT'S NOT 90 YEARS DEAD AT ALL. It's so very alive.Don't appease these people.Don't be this inconsistent with your moral choices.

This Turk guy (that is trying to avoid signing this contract that he got $350 to sign) didn't lie today.Nope.I simply asked if he was back in Ankara(on the online messenger service.) He responded quickly "Yea,why?" I then said "Because you said you were gunna sign the contract when you got back to Ankara." He said nothing else..No response. It's a simple case of blackmail(seems to be a common Turk specialty.)He thinks that (because he has talent) I will not stop workintg with him (over this case of multiple lies about this .)Notice how personal class doesn't seem to be part of the equation.Most people would feel a real deficit in class if they lie like this.What's amazing is I have all these emails I could send his girlfriend and many other people.Nobody ever said these Turks don't have balls.They have way too much balls.He has calculated poorly,there is no way I can put up with this just to keep working with him.I'm gunna ask him if he is doing this because he thinks I am weak.If he says yes,or anything like "shut the **** up(I would say the odds are very probable he is gunna say that...it seems a popular English term for TURKS to use,) then I am gunna post a video of him when he was fat,and had a bad skin day.He will explode into about 50 pieces.He told me to get rid of that rare mistake he made in appearance,but I knew not to.He tried to blame it on being too close to his video cam,but he has a slight double chin(lol.)He started having some anxiety nervous problems about 3 days after that.So,he probably just stopped eating completely,cuz the weight was quickly gone in a week.See,he knows if I tell women about him being a liar,then they won't believe it.They are too attracted to him to have any sound reason whatsoever. He is pretty smart.He knows 3 languages,and he knows exactly how to manipulate women.He told me he knows exactly what they want to hear.One time I told him he was a huge "player".At 1st,he showed me some mush he wrote his girlfriend.I said he had been writing that over the top stuff for months with her.I said he was a very good player.Then a switch went off,and he said "I know,it only took me 5 minutes to write it."

there are still people here who refer to the forced integration in little rock school as the northern army invasion. it's unbelievable. someone wrote a letter to the editor of the democrat-gazette that brought up the subject. they just celebrated that anniversary, and he wrote about the 'yankee army' and how he couldn't believe that some in this state celebrate being taken over. then there are those who still say lincoln was a war criminal. but i believe those are the idiot few, the lunatic fringe. as for the south as a bloc voting for bush, other states voted for him as well-guess they're hee haws too. and of course the states, much like the country, were pretty evenly split.

I'm sure you knew:

- 38% of the Republicans on that committee voted for the resolution.
- Pelosi didn't have a vote

Do you ever consider reading beyond the headlines and making idiotic assumptions?

Or is it easier to just repeat the first two sentences you hear from Hannity?

You should be embarrassed trying to project honest intellectuality.

RUNNY NOSE,AND EYES ARE ON FIRE.......There's like no water in this air.....Actually it's normal for SOCAL in late OCT.I got my 1st sinus infection (in my life) during one of these Santa Ana situations.Same year as Anita last had B.C. Never totally have gotten rid of that.
