Powell: 'Fraud and abuse' in Ukraine vote

 

Bush and company manipulated the vote here in the U.S.they are coming down on

the Ukrainians for doing the same thing in The Ukraine.. International

Election monitors were stationed in both the Ukraine and the U.S.and took issue

with

the election in both countries,

Bush has urged the Ukrainian Government to have a recount or another election

while here in the U.S. The Bush / Karl Rove Republicans are working overtime

to prevent a recount in Ohio and Florida!

While the Ukrainians went to the street to demonstrate against their

fraudulent election we here in America did practically nothing. Why?

Could it be that after watching or participating in the peaceful

Demonstrations in Miami, San Francisco and New York Americans are afraid to

speak out

against this administration because our Constitution (The Bill Of Rights), for

all practical purposes, is subordinate to The Patriots Anti Terrorist Act.

I don't know what we can be do about election 2004. I do know that if we do

nothing we can forget about an election 2008!

Keep The Faith

Tom Tully

Powell: 'Fraud and abuse' in Ukraine vote

Wednesday, November 24, 2004 Posted: 5:38 PM EST (2238 GMT)

 

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday said

the United States does not accept the results of Ukraine's presidential

elections as legitimate, citing " credible reports of fraud and abuse. "

 

The country's election commission has declared Prime Minister Viktor

Yanukovych the winner, beating opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko by three

percentage points.

 

Yushchenko said Wednesday evening that he did not recognize the official

result and called for a countrywide " political strike. "

 

Thousands of his supporters have protested for days in Kiev. (Opposition

leader calls for nationwide political strike)

 

" If the Ukrainian government does not act immediately and responsibly there

will be consequences for our relationship, for Ukraine's hopes for a

Euro-Atlantic integration and for individuals responsible for perpetrating

fraud, "

Powell said in a briefing at the State Department.

 

" We have been following developments very closely and are deeply disturbed

by the extensive and credible reports of fraud in the election, " he added. " We

call for a full review of the conduct of the election and the tallying of

election results. "

 

Powell said it is " still not too late " for the Ukrainian government to

remedy the situation. He warned that the world is watching and urged it to

" seize

the moment. "

 

The secretary said he spoke with outgoing Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma

earlier Wednesday to urge him to take advantage of suggestions by the two

candidates that there may be a way to resolve the controversy.

 

The State Department issued a public announcement Wednesday to U.S.

citizens in or traveling to Ukraine, warning of the possibility of " civil unrest

and

disturbances " over the disputed election.

 

" American citizens resident in Ukraine have therefore been urged to avoid

areas affected by demonstrations and political rallies and to exercise caution

if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. Citizens have also been urged to

assess the impact of these demonstrations might have on personal traffic and

transportation needs, " the department said.

 

He also cautioned Kuchma not to use any kind of force against the thousands

of pro-Yushchenko demonstrators in Kiev. He repeated that concern to Russian

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a separate phone call, he said.

 

" We call on all sides to work to achieve a fair and just outcome without

the use of force. We remind the Ukrainian authorities that they bear a special

responsibility not to use or incite violence, " the secretary said.

 

Powell said he also spoke with European Commission President Jose Barroso

and High Representative Javier Solana, and said the United States supports an

offer from Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski to mediate in the situation.

 

" Tomorrow is the EU-Russian summit in Europe, and I'm confident this will

be a subject of discussion between the EU leadership and the Russians, " the

secretary said.
