US to debate Turkey genocide bill

[wm]

There's going to be a whole lot of seriously pissed off congresscritters over this one, because there's more than a few of them who feel they got blindsided over this issue. They had no idea how this would escalate, how this would come across to the nation of Turkey (not just the government), and all the sudden, it's being presented as a "Supporting the Troops" issue.

I find it hard to accept that members of Congress could be so clueless about international sensitivities as to get "blindsided" like this.

Maybe the "No Child Left Behind " program ought to focus some attention on senior lawmakers' education.

Good news is that in a week it will be over. Notice didn't say "Forgotten".

Bad news is that the damage has already been done. You are right it will not be forgotten, but those who won't forget are natioins whose support America needs now and in the future.
