White House Seeks to Support Election Protesters Without Angering Russia's Putin

Wednesday, November 24, 2004;

The Bush administration is seeking to support Ukrainian demonstrators who are challenging official results declaring that a Moscow-backed candidate narrowly won Sunday's presidential election without risking an open break with Russian President Vladimir Putin, administration officials said yesterday.


Even before the count was completed, Putin on Monday congratulated Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych on his victory over Western-leaning Viktor Yushchenko in an election that international observers said was deeply flawed. Yushchenko declared himself the winner yesterday and took a symbolic oath of office as hundreds of thousands of protesters packed Kiev's downtown streets.

can go after russia... not that russians have never defended themselves or anything.... old scores going back to the cold war.

Remember Clarke said they were frozen in '92

They are acting like it

6. And how many loose nukes in Russia?

Are the chimp and his regime looking to get a nuclear device into the hands of terrorists before Christmas?

Not to mention the obvious hypocracy of this endorsement given their own dubious election.

13. Maybe if they hadn't outed Valerie Plame

we might know where a few more of these loose nukes are..

thanks for the giggle, my son's car was just stolen. I'm feeling sick and sad.

12. That's a drag...

I had a car stolen once... it was on loan from a friend I was visiting in Los Angeles. I had it for two hours and then it disappeared. I can sympathize... I'm reliving that experience with this election.

Hope you manage a Happy Thanksgiving.
