He was asked what the consequences would be if __________ authorities did not submit to international pressure to reconsider the results, and whether __________ President _____________ had overstepped his bounds by saying Western nations should stay out of the election.
"There's just a lot of allegations of vote fraud that placed their election -- the validity of their elections in doubt," Bush said. "The international community is watching very carefully. People are paying very close attention to this, and hopefully it will be resolved in a way that brings credit and confidence to the __________ government."
That was a more restrained line than Powell took Wednesday, when he said the United States cannot accept the result as legitimate, called for an investigation into evidence of fraud and abuse, and spoke of "consequences for our relationship" if the ___________ government did not act responsibly. "
SOMEONE ought to get this to Saturday Night Live! Have Bush give a speech and accidentally say "the US" instead of "The Ukraine" and have an aide whisper to him his mistake. LOL!
Go write your letters to the editor now, my friends!! Use the above as an example of the utmost hypocrisy!
