US administration to block vote on Turkey 'genocide'
2010-03-06
The administration is not going to block the vote. The Hildebeast is going to lobby congressional leaders to head off a vote. That's different.
Turkey has already pulled their ambassador in Washington, proclaiming this a matter of "honour". Prime Minister Erdogan really is enjoying throwing his weight around. He's been waiting for an opportunity, and had Congressional committee not done this, something else would have served as an excuse to openly realign Turkey from the eastern end of the West to -- he hopes -- regain Turkey's role as the center of the Muslim Middle East.

#1  From what I understand the rest of the Muddled East has no desire for Turkey to regain the center of power in the Arab world. Most of the corruption in the Muddled East was learned from Turkey, with little love lost. The Turks are great fighters, but their leaders have ALWAYS been corrupt to one degree or another.
