/PanARMENIAN.Net/ US President George W. Bush announced that he considers necessary to continue the change of the regimes in the Caucasus and Middle Asia. A special rapid response corps will assist the countries of the region to transfer to democracy. Bush spoke of revolutions and democracies at a reception organized in International Republican Institute in Washington. The organization is kind of a center for working out plans of regime changes in the post-soviet space. It was this organization that head of the Federal Security Service of Russia Nikolay Patrushev accused in anti-Russian activities. Addressing the State Duma he reported that the IRI has decided to allocate $5 million for overthrowing the Lukashenko regime in Belarus. However, judging from Bush's words, the US strategists have much broader plans. The US President appreciated the IRI for the work done first. «I appreciate what the IRI does for the promotion of liberty. For over two decades the IRI was at the front line of democratic changes in over one hundred countries,» he said. The liberty demonstrates an unprecedented progress throughout the globe and within the past 18 months we evidenced revolutions – rose, orange, purple, tulip and cedar. And this is only the beginning,» Bush stated. In his words, democratic revolution will come to the Caucasus and Middle Asia in the near future. Bush did not explain which countries he meant, however one can suppose that he might have implied Armenia when saying Caucasus and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Middle Asia. Statements of the Washington Administration indirectly confirm this. The only country Bush named directly was Belarus. To export democracy throughout the world Washington intends to establish a rapid response corps. In Bush’s words, it will be composed of officers of diplomatic and civil services, who can be sent to crisis situations as “civil rescuers,” as well as volunteers. “The availability of such a corps will allow sending the necessary specialists to foreign states and launch assistance programs within a few days and weeks, and not months or years as before,” Bush accentuated. The US President made public the revolutionary expenses: within the past four years the White House has allocated a total of $4.6 billion for programs supporting democratic transition throughout the globe. For FY 2006 the Administration has requested another $1.3 billion from the US Congress for the same purpose. The rapid response corps will immediately get $125 million.

2. Tell me this.
When will Bush consider the welfare of his own people before the welfare of other nations?

11. But...but...he does take care of his own people! War profiteers, Saudi
Princes, oil companies, and terrorist groups are all doing wonderfully well.

To Bush, America is a cash cow for empire building, and Americans are nothing but cattle and cannonfodder for him to use as a self- supporting police agency for his corrupt purposes.

3. Of course President George Bush....
...considers it necessary to continue the change of the regimes in the Caucasus and Middle Asia. It's part of his vision, it's all in the PNAC Report.

5. Guess he missed the PNAC memo when he mentioned no "nation building"
Or, perhaps he'll wriggle out of this by saying this isn't really our troops but a specially-designed corps.


Fvcking bastard.

7. Sounds like what the CIA did covertly
Send people in to stir up trouble, agitate violence, and 'foment' revolution....which never quite worked in a good way did it?

Puppet government program, funded by the America people...and done in the open(sort of but not really).. Cause I bet if you FOIA this new "rapid response corps", Bush Inc wouldn't turn over a damn thing.

16. Does he not understand that freedom has to come from within
An example of all Western nations is there. Moral support of all Western nations is essential.

But picking and choosing which particular coiuntries turn it is for democracy, American style, is going to lead to very weak democracies, as they won't be owned by the people. They will have been masterminded by America, remaking the world in its own free-market exploitative image.

These countries must have their own revolutions. They had done so for centuries and we have hypocritically and shamefully helped to suppress many popular uprisings across the world for the past sixty years.

If its not an "American Free market revolution" it ain't a revolution. Just look at Uzbeckistan. That is a popular uprising against a brutal ally of ours. More than 500 are dead. The worst such massacre since Tianeman square, and Bush doesn't care. Wrong religion, wrong place wrong time, wrong economic ideology.

It was the same when the US was supporting brutal paramilitary death squads and terrorists and was complicit in the murder of tens of thousands in central and south America. Wrong type of popular revolution. Socialism. Bush, you have no clue of what you talk about, and are a dangerous, dogmatic, imperialist.

Hey i wander who will get all the publc utilities contracts when Belarus falls. Cos it ain't gonna be Belarussians

17. 4.6 plus 1.3 = 5.9 billion dollars to spread manure in the world
And, uh, we can't afford health care in America, social programs being slashed, and how much of that 5.9 billion would extend the Social Security benefits?

We're circling the drain, folks.
