i'm having a hard time seeing the connection between two events

[Blue_Tires]

What is the missing link between Turkey on the brink of moving into northern iraq to fight pkk rebels, and that whole charade a few weeks ago over that Armenian 'genocide' resolution in congress that was getting the turks pissed off (I know it was genocide, of course, but the timing for the resolution push was highly suspect, in connection with the U.S. military's need for Turkish airbases for the GWOT)...What am I not seeing here? Do you ever get the feeling that you're about ten steps behind in figuring out events already in motion??:shrug:

1. It was a bargaining chip...Turkey holds off on the invasion...

The Congress holds off on the vote.

2. If we hit that bullseye...

the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!

No, they have no friggin' clue what they are doing either. They just pretend to know what they are doing.

3. The curent US Gov doesn't have the credibility

To pass ethical judgment on any country in the Middle East...it all just sounds like outrageous hypocrisy to the people of the region.
