Russian troops reported in Ukraine capital
UPI | November 23 2004
KIEV, Ukraine, Nov. 23 (UPI) -- Russian troops were reported by eyewitnesses as being among forces protecting Ukraine's presidential administration building Tuesday night.
Eyewitnesses told UPI that Russian troops were manning the inner circle of several lines of defense around the presidential administration building on Bankova Boulevard in Kiev. The identity of the troops could not be confirmed.
The building was the scene of protests where former Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko and thousands of his supporters protested the reported results of the second round run-off election that was held Sunday.
Election officials gave the victory to Yushchenko's opponent, current Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych. The Yushchenko campaign, backed by many international observers, has alleged widespread improprieties in voting and in the counting of the results.

Pooty-poot isn't going to lie down and lose Ukraine from his sphere of influence. Bush and Putin probably already worked out a deal, and the concern about election rigging is just for show. There is no way Bush would want to delve too deeply into this subject anyway, given what happened in the U.S. election. Putin might start mentioning the beam in the Bush eye regarding election fraud, which the U.S. media would be forced to repeat. Can't have that.

My, my you forget the most important one of all! What you don't know about doesn't happen. There never was election fraud in the U.S. There never was election fraud in the Ukraine. This story once again shows that exit polls are always wrong.
