Turkey's reaction to the approval of Resolution 106 by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs is understandable and quite natural. In fact, big moneys were wasted. The Armenian and Jewish lobbies achieved their aim; calling the congressmen upon voting by conscious instead of momentary interests. As it turned out the Administration's and US State Department's references to the "national security" and "the situation of U.S. troops in Iraq" didn't have the proper effect either.
