Statement on Ukrainian Elections
The United States is deeply disturbed by extensive and credible indications of fraud committed in the Ukrainian presidential election. We strongly support efforts to review the conduct of the election and urge Ukrainian authorities not to certify results until investigations of organized fraud are resolved. We call on the Government of Ukraine to respect the will of the Ukrainian people, and we urge all Ukrainians to resolve the situation through peaceful means. The Government bears a special responsibility not to use or incite violence, and to allow free media to report accurately on the situation without intimidation or coercion. The United States stands with the Ukrainian people in this difficult time.

Nor should we....but at the same time, we should let the Ukrainians figure it out....
We have very little to gain here and much to divert.

Indeed, that is a very forthright statement on the part of a Secretary of State.
Powell's lips are moving but it's W's pair.
So Powell believes the (possibly skewed and inaccurate) exit polls more than the official vote counters? Is he pulling a Jimmy Carter?
We know our own exit polls were total crap. I suspect voters exiting their polls in Ukraine would be even less likely to answer unofficial surveys honestly.
How much difference was there between the two in the Ukraine election?
Full story is up now:

Why do you think this has anything to do with exit polls? I don't even know that they DO exit polls in the Ukraine.
Time to align yourself with W or Putin.
Putin wants Ukraine in a Russia-Belarus-Ukraine Axis.
W wants Ukraine in NATO and the EU.
The Cold War is back. I hope you're on America's side.
