Umm look on the map Damo are Turkey and Afganistan as far away from each other as FL and alaska ?

You gonna pick nits I will too.

Possible piplenes to get caspian sea area oil out are involved in turkey.

You asked if the Afghanistan pipeline was going to pass through Turkey. I pointed out to you that it would not as the nations are quite a distance away from each other and that it would make no sense to go from the Caspian sea area to Turkey then back across the Continent to Afghanistan.

Any proposed pipeline in Afghanistan has little to do with any pipeline already in existence in Turkey.

Any suggestion of it is, simply stated, silly.

STFU about this pipeline you fucking nerds.

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares where Turkey falls on a fucking map either.

Jesus Christ Almighty I hope you guys are never looking for a woman, because "I know where Turkey is on a map, do you?" isn't getting anybody laid.

This is one of those things that I write sometimes, probably three times a day here, and end up not hitting "send" on, but this time I am going to. Take a look at what people really think but are usually too polite to say!

An inflated sense of importance?

My every action is not to make you think you want to lay me. You may think it is, but it isn't.

What paranoia are you referring to Darla?

This has everything to do with this war. Or do you think that somehow the Dems are going to suddenly lose control of the House in 2008? They can wait and do this at a later date if it truly has nothing to do with this war. But you and I both know that is just bullshit you tossed out to try and yet again divert from the topic. This has everything to do with this war.

Obviously the Dem leadership is nothing more than another bunch of pandering idiots that have replaced the Reps leadership and their bunch of pandering idiots.

You keep stating this as if it were fact. At least I said that I didn't know, that there may be many reasons to do it.

You still haven't explained why conservative republican, pro-war congressman Radanovich is co-sponsoring the bill. Is HE trying to undermine the war effort?

Or, was your claim just mere hyperbole...pure guesswork on your part. ...that in fact, there might be good faith reasons that both democrats and republicans would support the resolution?

Well, I like you anyway. And if any portion of my actions are in fact an attempt to get you to "like/like" me, then you must have some importance.

"GW cannot for the very reasons we are telling you that this is a horrible time to deliberately piss off an ally in the mid east."

When I said it had nothing to do with this war, I meant that Bush not calling it a genocide has nothing to do with this war. That has been US policy for three presidents, at least, now.

Sorry, I was confused as to where you were going. You asked my why those three did not call it that. I stated that I did not know on the first two. Who knows whether GW would or wouldn't have had the mess in the mid east not blown up to what it is today. Obviously we would both be speculating on that. But the fact remains that given the current conditions, neither he nor Congress should be actively trying to piss off the Turks at this time.

When the action can directly effect the soldiers/marines in the field it really does have "everything" to do with the war. We seriously need to rethink such a thing if it may add another military presense to an already messed up situation.

It has waited this long, it can wait some more.

I wonder why Turkey would use a non-binding resolution as a reason to invade Iraq?

Well, they have had 60 thousand troops massed on that border...I guess any excuse will do.

What do you know, but "Remember the Maine" is not just an American ploy.

1) No, the wouldn't. lol

2) SF obviously didn't research this topic, before he grabbed something off a far right website. I seriously doubt the republicans that signed up for this, including lead co-sponsor and war Hawk Radanonvich, has any intention of "undermining the war effort". SF just invented that little strawman in his "independent-moderate" mind. ;)

So everything you write is an attempt to get me to want to lay you? lol

Damo, I know you like me. I like you too.

But sometimes you and Cypress are a couple of real nerds. Nobody knows where the capsian fields are, and they couldn't care less either!

Once it was a portion of my job to know where the Caspian Sea was/is.

Thankfully it no longer is.

Do you think an appropriate reaction to a non-binding resolution, is to invade another country?

I doubt that either your or I know everything going on here.

But I know that I don't.

The Caspian oil fields are predominantly under the Caspian sea. Which is located north of Iran, west of Turkmenistan and East of Azerbaijan.
 
Darla,

You made a good point: if turkey wants to take military action against PKK, the wheels are already in motion. A non-binding resolution isn't going to make a bit of difference.

I doubt this resolution will do any lasting harm to turkish american relations. They need us and much as we need them. They probably need us more.

Can you believe what a big deal were making out of this? I really don't even care that much, but I've wrote like 20 posts about it. :)
 
Cypress said:
You have clearly suggested the resolution was a partisan effort by democrats to deliberately hurt the war effort. And you suggested that to think otherwise, was ill informed and stupid. Paraphrasing, of course.

Can you explain why Congressman Radanovich, republican of California (ultra conservative by the way) is the lead co-sponsor? Does Radanovich also want to hurt the war effort in a partisan way?

Or, were you wrong? Is it just possible there are other reasons people of good faith might support the resolution?

Given the context I can see a single good reason to support a bill that only serves to appease Armenians at this point in time.

Lets equate this into our world....

If you were to come up to me and say... "this is non-binding, but I think your ancestors were a bunch of pedophile/rapist/sexist/murderering bigots".... do you really think I would give a shit if you call it non-binding? Whether it is binding or not does not matter. Whether it is true or not does not matter. You are still throwing the actions of my ancestors in my face at this time. Do that while asking me for a favor at the same time and then weigh the odds of my granting you that favor.

If you want to really piss off the Turks, then are they really going to give a shit if the US government doesn't want them to do something? How likely are they going to go along with our request not to strike back at the Kurds if we deliberately do our best to piss them off?
