    OBAMA AND CONGRESS SERVE UP THE BALONEY OVER THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE'S 1915 SLAUGHTER OF ARMENIANS
    by John L. Work

    "Hey, what happened to the baloney, man?" (From a Cheech and Chong
    skit) It's being sliced thick and served hot in D.C. There is a
    debate raging through the Halls of Congress and a horde of lobbyists
    scurrying about over what to call the 1915-16 extermination of 1.5
    million Armenians by the Muslim Ottoman Turk government. The Armenians
    want us to call it genocide. The jihadi Turks just want this thing
    to go away, so they can get through the gates of The European Union
    and move on to the final Muslim conquest of Vienna and the West.

    During his 2008 campaign, President Obama promised to call out
    the Turks for the "genocide". Now he's singing a different tune
    and telling us everyone needs to get over this thing by calling it
    "atrocities". It's all halal baloney, no matter how you slice it.

    The Muslim Ottoman Empire systematically wiped out a huge segment
    of its Armenian population during WWI. Call it genocide or call it
    jihad. It was mass slaughter. Today's Washington Post includes a
    hand-wringing piece by Dan Eggen:

    "Each year, Armenian Americans remember the massacres of hundreds of
    thousands of men, women and children in the aftermath of World War I.

    And each year, Congress becomes embroiled in a bitter debate between
    Armenia and Turkey over whether to label the episode as genocide.

    The dispute has set off a lobbying frenzy this year in the House
    Foreign Affairs Committee. Chairman Howard L. Berman (D-Calif.) is
    scheduled to hold a vote Thursday on a nonbinding resolution that calls
    on President Obama to formally refer to the 1915 massacre as genocide
    and to use the term during an annual address on the topic next month...

    ... A contingent of members of the Turkish parliament visited
    Washington this week before the vote to meet with key lawmakers of
    both parties, warning that approval of the genocide resolution would
    hurt relations between the two countries, including cooperation with
    the United States on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq..."

    A little well-placed threat sometimes works wonders, now, doesn't it.

    Did I just read a threat there?

    "...A similar vote in committee in 2007 led Turkey to recall its U.S.

    ambassador and prompted a furious effort by the Bush administration
    to scuttle a full House vote..."

    By golly, that was a threat. I'm sure of it now.

    There is documentary evidence that the slaughter of Armenians actually
    happened, here. Oddly, Turkey has not responded to the evidence.

    So, the D.C. baloney slicing continues as the jihad rolls on, the
    OIC runs the U.N., and no one in the Halls of Power seems to have a
    clue yet as to what is driving all this madness. The answers can be
    found here, here, and here.
