A Litany of Idiots
Jimmy Carter (somewhere a village is missing its idiot) stated that the United States tortures prisoners in violation of international law. "I don't think it, I know it," Carter told Wolf (another idiot) Blitzer yesterday. This is reference to head-slapping, sleep deprivation, waterboarding, and cold treatment. Not pleasant pastimes, but not thumb screws, nail pulling, interesting electrical devices and places to put them, Black and Deckers to the knee caps and that sort of thing.
Jimmy, if you do not ask the questions you do not get the answers. Simple. And we cannot afford not to get the answers.
Mr. Carter, don't stick your nose into geopolitics, you are simply too thick to understand the damage you do as an ex-officio spokesman for the whacked out in the USA. You almost single-handedly destroyed American prestige in the world while you were President: you created a laughing stock of my country. Every dictator with an AK decided he could take you on -- and did. You embarrassed me and every American living abroad. You are an anti-semitic idiot.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs (now controlled by Democrats, so I should have expected this) passed a resolution 27-21 for calling the WW1 massacre of Armenians by the Turks a "genocide." Uh, there are plenty of Armenians around, so that would be "attempted genocide" and that happened almost 100 years ago. But is it a very present slap in the face of the ONLY Muslim country in NATO and the only Muslim country that might cooperate with us if the poop hits the fan over there. We also have more than a few fighter aircraft stationed there, along with the supporting personnel. So in our wisdom, we have decided to "kick them in the nuts."
OK, so the Turks ought to chill out too, but this is a very, very sore spot in their history and it is still gasoline on the fire of every Turkish ethnic national (the Kurds are different). Why? Because the Turks see and Armenian conspiracy under every bed and with some cause: Armenians and Kurds have in the recent past bombed and killed Turkish civilians. Remember 9/11?
Did they do it? Yes, they tried. There is very little real doubt. But Germany tried to kill us all and we don't continue to "make them pay." The Japanese were brutal beyond all comprehension and we still don't parade Manchuria in front of them. But the Democrats -- seeing a Bush (quasi) ally won't let this pass. Idiots. We might lose another country of potential allies -- when WE need them for posturing for the "folks at home." Fucking idiots.
