Answer 1

Did he deliver his slap to Ronald Reagans memory, too?
There are 7 million Armenian descendants in California. It is important there.

""Armenian-Americans have been pushing for passage of similar proposals for years. Ronald Reagan, a Californian, was the only president to publicly call the killings genocide. Others have avoided the term out of concern for Turkey's sensitivities.""

Answer 2

just making good on ONE of George W Bush's champaign promises

FLIP
when Bush was running for president in 2000, he wrote a letter to the Armenian National Committee affirming that the Armenians were “subjected to a genocidal campaign.” He promised that if “elected president,” he would make sure that the United States “properly recognizes” the tragedy. From his letter:

The twentieth century was marred by wars of unimaginable brutality, mass murder and genocide. History records that the Armenians were the first people of the last century to have endured these cruelties. The Armenians were subjected to a genocidal campaign that defies comprehension and commands all decent people to remember and acknowledge the facts and lessons of an awful crime in a century of bloody crimes against humanity. If elected President, I would ensure that our nation properly recognizes the tragic suffering of the Armenian people.

FLOP
I urge members to oppose the Armenian genocide resolution now being considered by the House Foreign Affairs Committee. We all deeply regret the tragic suffering of the Armenian people that began in 1915. This resolution is not the right response to these historic mass killings, and its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror.

FLIP
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
Washington Post, 9/17/01, UPI: Bush said he wants accused terrorist leader Osama bin Laden "dead or alive.” “I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI
AP, 12/14/01: President Bush pledged anew Friday that Osama bin Laden will be taken "dead or alive."

FLOP:
Capturing OBL no longer a priority:
G.W. Bush, 3/13/02: I don't know where Bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

Answer 3

Pelosi may be trying to forget, but it will be brought up in the upcoming elections. There are a lot of voters out there, both Democrat and Republicans, that have family in Iraq right now. And they will remember how the Democrats in Congress show their "Support for the Troops".

Answer 4

Yeah that happened like what, 93 years ago? With the strained relations between the US and Turkey, the last thing we need right now is to escalate tensions, especially since Turkey is debating and asking permission to attack the Kurds in Iraq. That's the last thing the US needs right now. And people say President Bush's foreign policy is bad? Just hide your eyes and watch.

Answer 5

Right now there is a Presidential News Conference where the President did just that.

Answer 6

This silly bill only goes to show how dangerous and uninformed ideologe can be when it comes to foreign policy!

If you want more of the same please vote for a dumocrat next November.

Answer 7

I hope so cutting our troops supply lines not a good thing.
