I am sure Bush knows, but I am not sure about Powell.
My observation is that the statements released by the White House were very carefully crafted, to approach the situation with the necessary care. Then Powell comes along making a statement, which may or may not have been approved by the White House, declaring the election in Ukraine invalid, but then went on that he talked with the Russian minister and are working on diplomatic resolution.
Yushchenko calling for a strike doesn't sound like a peaceful solution to me. I think the international community may have emboldened the Opposition.
At the first news, Yuschenko said the people would have to take to the streets and fight, while his opponent said he did not want to win on a crafted vote.
It's like Solomon and the two Mothers claiming the child. The real Mother would rather give him up, than to see him hurt, the imposter would rather kill the child, than give him up.
The fact that Yushchenko is inciting civil unrest and even violence, than give up his claim, doesn't speak well of him in my book.
I'm not so sure Yushchenko is for sale. He's the candidate from the socialist party for goodness sakes. He's supported by every leftist group out there, including France, and the Chechen terrorists. He's pledged immediate withdrawal of troops from the War on terror.
I'd say if he was for sale, he's already been bought.
Well I see support for a fair vote count. I think once its shown to be a valid count, and opened up, the US will send its seal of approval. I think that's what the President wants.
Especially as to how the leftist causes are already riled up at our own exit polls, and think that President Bush is out for Global Domination. The President sees it as a chance to show that elections should be free and clean. It has nothing to do with supporting a candidate. I think once again Powell put on his democrat hat and forgot he was speaking for the administration.
Anyway happy Thanksgiving to all, and to all a good night. I'm done, but if you respond, I'll probably reply tomorrow(which is actually today already) or so.
There is no proof that our president is supporting Yuschenko.
Our president supports a fair election, not a candidate.
Get your facts straight or post proof.
Officially Kwasniewski don’t support anyone as well. They are the politicians they cannot say who they support. In fact everyone knows that Poland supporting Yuschenko, maybe except of the populist-communistic party Samoobrona, but their opinion is meaningless. But same fact that they are against Yuschenko is significant.
Where I come from, if you don't have a link or something to back up what you say, you don't post it. If you do, you post it as opinion.
When you don't post it as opinion, then you are indeed the very propaganda master that you accuse Putin of being.
bandit? Everyone in KGB is bandit. And what with his crimes in Chechnya? Arguments that they are Muslims don’t work with me, these Muslims didn’t started but Russians did it long before Beslan. Now his interference in Ukraine elections and whole Yanukovych election campaign It is the next proof of his political burglary.
We know you are a supporter of islamic terrorism here, but what this has to do with my post is beyond me.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Earlier, you were explaining to the board that you have some kind of contact within the Russian Orthodox church (or perhaps a direct line with Putin) that demonstrates that Putin, despite being the former head of the KGB and communist, is a deeply religious man doing God's work. Kindly post a link to your assertions. For that matter, Yanukovitch is a common criminal. Here is a link to documents regarding his criminal matters:

Please note, he is best known as the leader of the Donetsk mafia. His crimes, among others, include rape of a 16 year old girl. This is the man Putin would impose on Ukraine as its master. Makes Lukashenko look like a sweet guy. But Yanukovitch is Russian Orthodox, so all is forgiven.
Prove this with a link.
Here is the link you requested:

Therein your wrote:
"Putin is a member of our church. Therefore we know a great deal about his life, even though he doesn't share it in public with those outside the church. And I stand by Putin, as fellow Orthodox, without one moment of hesitation."
Next time, please ask. I never said a word about a private line or anything like that. You made that all up in your interpretation.
