H.Res.106 Passes US Foreign Relations Committee

I'm quite confident that they put 106 to a vote as a result of my presence in Washington. Some say they heard murmurs that I was coming and said they better act before I unleash my wrath on Congress. Okay, I'm seriously kidding, but I'm kicking myself for not staying just another week to be in Washington for this historic event. I just arrived back in Yerevan as the Committee began to debate. They spoke for hoooouuuuuuurrrrrssss before I could even get any info. I only had CNN to rely on with their disgustingly slanted coverage of the story. It seemed they cared more about Turkey's reaction than the vote itself. They even went as far as to paint a victimized picture of the Turks after the PKK killed a few of their soldiers, showing weeping mothers of the soldiers for the loss of their children. My God!

Anyway, yes it's ALL over the news, and so far the only headline I see that sheds a slightly positive light on the situation is the LA Times. Where most are focusing on Bush's and Turkey's anger at the measure, they managed to portray the Turks, Bush and friends as the massive lobbying effort through which the resolution survived.
