Pelosi Defends Hurting U.S. Reputation Among Allies
From the blog Any Proctor
Sphere: Related ContentDemocrats insist restoring America’s reputation in the world, which they say has been damaged by George W. Bush, is priority one, but perhaps they should work a little harder at making our allies not hate us.
First, in August Barack Obama sent our ally Pakistan into an uproar when he said he’d send troops into the country if they couldn’t capture the terrorists we wanted them to. Pakistan erupted into fiery protests.
Later in August, Hillary Clinton and Carl Levin offended Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and those who voted for him by calling for his removal from office.
Then in September, the (Democrat Joe) Biden amendment “to express the sense of Congress on federalism in Iraq” passed in the Senate and outraged Iraqis who insist their country remain one unified country. Iraqis took to the streets of Baghdad to protest the Biden Amendment.
Now in a stupid and reckless move approved by Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic Congress came up with a resolution condemning the Armenian genocide of 1915. That’s right; 1915. Turkey, now a NATO member and a key U.S. ally in the war on terror, accepts Armenians were killed but call it a massacre during a chaotic time, not an organized campaign of genocide. There are now angry protests in the streets of Turkey angry over pending H. Res 106: Affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution.
