Stuck On Stupid

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D – San Francisco is angling for defeat in Iraq and the war on terrorism for her party’s own political benefit. Pelosi will push for a vote on the genocide resolution in an attempt to anger Turkey to suspend the use of their airspace to supply our troops in Iraq.

This type of scenerio will doom the Democrat Party in 2008. Just one more arrow in the heart of liberalism in the 21st century. If she keeps on insisting on this vote our military will suffer more fatalities in Iraq as a result of her ignorance and stupidity in foreign affairs.

No wonder the Democrat party controlled congress has such a low approval rating.

This further exposes the low wattage of the liberal mindset .

A full U.S. House vote on the genocide resolution is expected soon. Turkey, which acknowledges Armenians died in large numbers but denies genocide took place, has warned it might close its airspace to the U.S. military if the measure is approved.

The Turkish Parliament is set to vote as early as tomorrow to authorize a military incursion into Iraq.

The dispute is a source of concern within the Pentagon. The U.S. military brings enormous quantities of food, fuel, ammunition, spare parts and vehicles into Iraq every month through the Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey. Officials said 70% of the air cargo going into Iraq passes through Turkey.

If the U.S. lost access to Turkish airspace, it likely would try to bring supplies in from Jordan or Kuwait. But neither country could step in as a viable replacement. The U.S. has no major bases in Jordan, and the highways linking Jordan and Iraq pass through several restive Sunni-dominated parts of Iraq. The U.S. ports and bases in Kuwait, meanwhile, are already stretched by supplies en route to Iraq.
