It is plain wrong not to acknowledge it happened and an embarrassment that the Bush government is rejecting it just to "save a relationship" in order to (ab)use Turkey as a deployment place for their (and this is where I think you were right...) WAR OF TERROR.
I really hope the resolution goes all the way through, and if it does and the US/Turkish relationship does indeed goes bad - well, we should pull out of Iraq anyways so maybe it even speeds up the process if Turkey throws us out. That would be a good thing IMHO.

Incorrect.
The idiot who started this bill in the house should be impeached for stupidity. There is no reason to acknowledge jack shit from 100yrs ago just to make some armeniens feel good and embarrass an ally. Turkey will eventually turn on us and we can acknowledge it then. No need to do it now while they're doing our bidding.
