#1 I don't know what it is, but I'm sure it's for the children and grandchildren. Oh, and the missed window after the Gulf War 1, was because all the good liberal women in Washington were practicing their Lewinski techniques.

#2 Why should the fact Congress ALREADY passed such resolutions twice get in the way. Last one was in 1983 I think.

#3 Probably doesn't want a couple of hundred Armenian hippies camping out on her lawn...

#4 It seems to me that they could alter the resolution, estimate the total number of deaths, label the deaths the result of a series of government and religiously instigated progroms (which is at least as historically accurate as the word genocide) and condemns the government of Turkey and its religious leaders for their failure to admit complicity.

That way, the word 'genocide' isn't used.

#5 The Armenian genocide was horrific, which makes it doubly EVIL that SanFranNan, would insist on this now,and upset things. In truth the Treasonocratic Party cares more about power than our soldiers, because they are playing on the low IQs of the uninformed to get votes. They know what the truth is, and SanFranNan will have blood on her hands, if Turkey pulls the plug, and our soldiers are hurt/killed because of these shennanigans.

#6 Well, I have to disagree with some of the comments here.
The Armenian genocide DID happen, and there are plenty of newspaper articles from Turkey advocating the indescrimate killing of Armenian *Christians.*
If the Donks want to pass this, I am going to think a little better of them.

#7 Press forward into the gathering twilight, FR. The outcome will not be bright nor illuminating. Are the Donks next going to lobby for reparations?
