Bush and Rice together don't make pimple on a smart person's ass.
If what happened to the Armenians wasn't, and isn't, genocide then what is/was it? Somebody ask that fool Bush that question point blank.
I suppose that what Hitler and Stalin and the Arabs did to the Jewish people wasn't genocide either.
Germany is still apologizing for what they did, while the Russians and Moslems are still doing it. It seems that Bush and Rice are again buddying up with the Moslems and Russia.
Thak Go_ only one more year and he'll rtetire to Mexico.
Exactly. How come it was genoside when jewish were slaughtered. So id Iranian president questions the number of jews dies then it is a crime on the other hand USA wants to vote so its ally is not upset. Wow. What a justice? How USA can cry to the world community about others conduct when itself can't.
is this any way to talk about our idiot in chief?
wow, another holocaust denyer. Bush, have you no shame? Oh, I forgot, You're texan. You have no conscience. Or brain. Mark Twain did say of the Texan: 'Ah, yes, the lowest form of humanity.'
genocide is labeled genocide, George Bush will use that to declare his war a loss. He only needs a reason to say it, he's known it for years. Bush's policy in the ME is already a huge, undo-able mess so this being declared genocide will only help the Bush effort, which is to get through his second term alive, rich with stolen money, and not in jail.
One thing we need to do is greenlight some kind of empty motion like this, and reap the colossal benefits.
Go ahead...piss off the one group of folks who have stood at our side for decades over something they actualy had no hand in, for no other reason than an empty gesture, to a government who was never in power at the time.
I guess we never learn.
Bush managed to create greater enemies out of existing enemies at that time, and seems to have absorbed the fact that creating greater frictions only leads to greater hatreds.
Worse relations with Turkey are the last thing we need right now, as the Turks prepare to vote to give themselves the right to invade Iraq.
The Turks get really upset when you mention the fact that they mass-murdered the Armenians. Guess that's because the truth hurts, huh?
Thing is, they were just obeying their Islamic scriptures which forever command the killing of Infidels so they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. Such is Islam.
Bushes should be indicted for Muslim in general and Shiite genocide in particular!
Re. 'Bush the Butcher of Muslims'
Oh, that's rich! Nobody kills more muslims than muslims. Their religion is all about murder and the daily body count proves it.
Check out thereligionofpeace.com, 9700 Islamic terror attacks in the last six years! Islam is all about murder, Islam is responsible for rivers of blood these last 1400 years, long before Bush was around to blame
So when Bush tries to stop congress from declaring that Muslims committed genocide he is somehow against muslims?
What about keeping the U.S.'s nose out of everyone else's business. Does there need to be a declaration to make it right or wrong - empty words!!

But when Bush was running for president in 2000, he wrote a letter to the Armenian National Committee affirming that the Armenians were “subjected to a genocidal campaign.” He promised that if “elected president,” he would make sure that the United States “properly recognizes” the tragedy.
From his letter:
'The twentieth century was marred by wars of unimaginable brutality, mass murder and genocide. History records that the Armenians were the first people of the last century to have endured these cruelties. The Armenians were subjected to a genocidal campaign that defies comprehension and commands all decent people to remember and acknowledge the facts and lessons of an awful crime in a century of bloody crimes against humanity. If elected President, I would ensure that our nation properly recognizes the tragic suffering of the Armenian people.'
