CHECK THIS OUT FREEPER RUSSOPHILES
Its goin to be hard to spin this one to make Putin warm and fuzzy.
It looks like The KGB (or whatever there new name is) is getting real sloppy. I new stuff like this was going to happen ever since Putin was first elected.
Yep - leopards, spots and all that.
The loss of Ukraine to the West has put a real kink in Putin's freedom-loving facade. The Communists are still very much in power and waiting for an opportunity after they have extracted as much US and western capital as they can.
It's like something from the nineteenth century.
Bombshell.
"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton
Putin and his cronies can't win by extreme force so they poison anyone who doesn't or won't conform to their views.
As support for Mr Yushchenko grew daily, the Yanukovich-Kuchma faction became more desperate. They decided to transport miners from Donetsk on the Russian border and diehard Yanukovich supporters to Kiev to counter-demonstrate the students. The intention was clear - they would spark a conflict and violence and crack down on the peaceful Orange Revolutionaries. The fighting would not just crack skulls, it would lead to a suspension of Parliament, of the elections, a one-year state of emergency and the continued rule of President Kuchma.
Then a curious thing happened. As the miners gathered in Donetsk, free vodka was handed out. They got vodka on their coaches and trains, and they were met in Kiev by trucks loaded with crates of vodka. By the time they had been in Kiev for an hour or so, most were paralytically drunk.
"No, the vodka was not a coincidence," said Alex Kiselev, a close adviser to Yushchenko rival Yanukovich, glumly. "We realised what was going on too late. It wasn't illegal but it was damned clever. It was a trick and we were dumb enough to fall for it, we shot ourselves in the foot with that one. It was all very scripted. There were hundreds of Western agents in Ukraine."
Now if we can only liberate Washington State from Gregoirevych.
Isn't it though?
Well, that's just nice. Consider the fact Yushchenko is making his first visit to see Putin himself in Russia. Hope he stays away from food and drink and I hope he has a lot of bodyguards.
This is a common misconception. It used to be that mistakes did not matter. If poisoning did not work, a bullet would do the job. It is much easier when you can edit someone out of history. Now, if front of an at least partially free press, you have to be less crude.
Fascinating article.
Hmmmm...perhaps we've discovered a way to deal with the Leftist nutcases from ANSWER the next time they convene in DeeCee...nawww, Dem zealots would just get that much more destructive if they were schnockered.
FReegards...MUD

Similar to what happened to GWB in South America. Thank God Bush grabbed his bodyguard and pulled him into the dinner.
I think we all just missed a disaster of global proportions.
How very right you are.
That is very very true
