Turkey Recalls Ambassador to U.S. Over Armenian Genocide Bill

It looks like the nation of Turdistan is one step closer to reality today.

That's right - even as Turkish troops mass along the border of Iraq, intent on invading Kurdistan (I know, not a real country, but it's recognized as an historical region), our glorious Democratic "leadership" in Congress decides it's about high time that we recognized Turkish genocide of Armenians in 1915-17. Nevermind that it's unlikely that any of the perpetrators of that crime are still alive to be held accountable, but let's go ahead and inflame the current populace of Turkey.

The result of this brilliant diplomatic outreach?

Turkey ordered its ambassador in Washington to return to Turkey for consultations over a U.S. House panel's approval of a bill describing the World War I-era mass killings of Armenians as genocide, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said Thursday.

Brilliant. If we had ANY sway over the Turkish troops on the northern border of Iraq, that's pretty much down the toilet now.

So what, you may ask? Why do we care?

About 70 percent of U.S. air cargo headed for Iraq goes through Turkey, as does about one-third of the fuel used by the U.S. military in Iraq. U.S. bases also get water and other supplies by land from Turkish truckers who cross into the northern region of Iraqi Kurdistan.

I guess the Democrats are aiming to accomplish their goals by subverting our supply routes to Iraq. Nice.
