3. The MSM is talking death in SE Asia, I notice, cause Do Overs...

..are not in favor with Karl Rove right now

4. again

He is the only good person I can think of currently in this administration,too bad he is leaving( they are all leaving aren't they though.) He has integrity and I would love to know what he is saYING ABOUT THE Ukraine, but why isn't he saying it about the US?

5. And consideration I had for his "integrity" went out the window

when he went before the UN regarding WMDs in Iraq.

[keepthemhonest]

7. any chance he really believed

there were WMD at that time? Maybe I'll have to reconsider about him,plus he was willing to even work for that administration says something.hmmmmm.

[Boswells_Johnson]

9. Yeah, I thought at first he might have been misled, but then

again, he's a very intelligent man, and, as you said, he could have left the administration at any point if he felt their actions were at odds with his beliefs.

12. he must know the bush regime is illegal...

all political professionals know that.....and that makes their complicity a capital crime. colin powell committed treason, over many months/years ....nothing more to say about that guy

[Scout1071]

6. He basically said that he was glad to see the Ukraine as such a shining

example of Democracy. That the media in Ukraine showed much less bias and more fairness th is time around, etc.

Sorry that I cannot relay more, but I was kind of multi-tasking at the time. Hopefully someone else who watched the press conference can help fill in the blanks.

8. that is ok

it sounds like to me he is contrasting them with U.S. with out saying US

11. Powell. The guy who fronted for the Bush admin on CNN re Venezuela Coup

If you haven't seen the movie about our "meddling" in Venezuela, you owe it to yourself to watch it. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televized"... extraordinary movie exposing what we did and how Powell went on TV to congratulate the people of Venezuela for their "new-found democracy".

Anyway... See this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2870381

The Bush Admin pumped way over $65 million into getting Yushchenko in.

10. Putin said that U.S. was behind demonstrations

and fraud claims, NPR said yesterday. I posted this on another thread too, sorry if it is old news and for double posting, I thought it was interesting.

13. It seems to me that Bush had a definite interest....

....in getting Yushchenko elected. The Ukraine situation definitely puzzles me.

14. We've got plenty of "secret support"- we need public support

I don't know if he has the guts any more.
