Betrayal

After the CIA went through all trouble of getting Viktor Yushchenko elected president of Ukraine, he said yesterday that he supports outgoing president Kuchma's directive to withdraw their troops from Iraq; a directive influenced by the deaths of six insignificant soldiers, soliders who can be easily replaced by the some of the students who were cheering in the streets.

For Yushchenko's sake, let's hope that this is nothing more than doublespeak. Let's hope that when he actually takes power that he'll shut his mouth and send us as many troops as we want.

Otherwise, he may really have to start checking his food.
