Only someone with the chutzpah of intellectual arrogance and a parvenu to boot in realpolitik and foreign affairs could be behind such a remarkably doltish resolution that puts an arrow through the heart of a much needed ally, such as Turkey, at a time when the US is engaged in war in the Middle East.
The Democrats with this resolution, from Lantos to Pelosi and Reid, have shown themselves to be immaculate political tyros in the affairs of foreign policy and war. They have committed by the passing of this resolution their own genocide. The “genocide” of the alliance with Turkey, which is so vital to America’s foreign policy interests in the Middle East, and to the protection of US troops in Iraq whose major part of supplies for fighting the war come through Turkey.
By the passing of this totally irresponsible resolution the Democrats have cancelled themselves out from governing the country at this critical time when America confronts and fights a mortal foe. And the Lantos’ resolution will go down in the annals of American politics as the great caricature that it’s in statecraft. In their manic run to force Bush to withdraw from Iraq, they have stabbed in the back the sons and daughters of America who are fighting and winning the war under their superb commander David Petraeus, to achieve their treacherous and despicable ends.

I was agreeing with you until you hit Petraeus. There is a mortal foe : in the heart of the country where it can cause damage.

Is Petraeus “a mortal foe” because under his command American troops are defeating al Qaeda in Iraq?

very interesting, but I don’t agree with you

I am scarce referring to Petraeus. Let’s look briefly at what has happened in Iraq ; have you seen things like this http://theradicalmormon.wordpress.com/2007/12/17/5-million-orphans-in-iraq-another-iraq-war-success/
Now let’s turn completely around and look at the U.S. : where it would be appropriate to talk about ‘enemies within”.
Back in the 1930’s the Bush family was involved with the Nazi movement. That is a modern evolution of the Royalist movement : a hearkening back to thugs terrorizing the public and rules of public order being superseded by repression, violence, spying and torture.
I do indeed believe the most rational assessment to be that religious indoctrination, sects, propaganda and terrorizing people are te greatest current threats to “The American Way of Life” : not ragheads across the ocean living in a sandstorm.

opit, you are amusing! The sons/daughters are not responsible for the “sins” of their fathers. And it’s the nuclear “sandstorm” that is generated in these fanatic “ragheads” that is endangering “The American Way of Life”, and indeed, Western civilization.

You mean the ‘nuclear sandstorm’ ‘validated’ by the NIE ? Now you are amusing.
