USA presents Ukraine ultimatum
10/16/2004 13:03
US administration urged the Ukrainian government to put an end to violations of democratic norms

The US Department of State has recently released rather a harsh statement. The official spokesman for the department, Richard Boucher, demanded Ukraine should conduct the forthcoming presidential election without any violations. Otherwise, Boucher stated, Ukraine would be deprived of the political support from the States. According to the US official, America would closely cooperate with any politician, who would win the honest and free election.

The Department of State reminded that Washington was grateful to Ukraine for its support of the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, although it did not relieve the Ukrainian administration of the responsibility to Ukrainian citizens to protect democracy and human rights in the country and hold the election in compliance with international standards. Boucher emphasized that the US administration urged the Ukrainian government to put an end to violations of democratic norms and to let Ukrainians vote freely.

2. Ukraine is sending their troops home
The sudden heat (why they chose now to finally notice a long standing problem) must be payback for Ukraine taking their troops home.

4. Bush must be worried that they will have a fair election
So, he is actually saying "My preferred candidate better win, by hook or by crook, or your country is in a world of hurt". But he is saying it in reverse Bush bizzaro language.
