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.

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.)
