''Turkey could paralyze critical supply lines to Iraq
WASHINGTON ?— The Bush administration is concerned that Turkey could block vital U.S. supply routes to Iraq.
Seventy percent of the fuel and air shipments to the U.S. military in Iraq are currently routed through Turkey.
Officials said the Defense Department and U.S. military believe Ankara could retaliate to a U.S. House resolution that blamed Turkey for the killing of 1.5 million Armenians in World War I. They said Ankara could block weapons and supplies to the U.S. military in Iraq.''
This house resolution was introduced by speaker Nancy Pelosi. It has failed within the last 2 days, thank God.
Now I'm wondering: Do you think Pelosi was conniving enough to use this as a method (pissing off the Turks) to cut off supplies for the war since she can't get it any other way? Or was this just another dumb-butt exhibition by the dems?
I'm betting on the dumb-butt explaination.
What do you all think?
