Viktor Yushchenko Poisoned

Posted by Bill

This is courage:

Mr Yushchenko had said recently that he would soon reveal proof that his opponents had tried to assassinate him, but a spokeswoman said he had no plans to travel to Vienna.
Mr Yushchenko fell ill on September 6 and was rushed to Rudolfinerhaus four days later with severe abdominal pain and lesions on his face and trunk. His liver, pancreas and intestines were swollen and his digestive tract covered in ulcers, but doctors could not explain the symptoms. Against their advice he went back on the campaign trail after a week, but returned to the clinic two weeks later with back pain.

Again he returned to campaigning, with his face half paralysed and a catheter inserted in his back so that doctors � still baffled � could inject painkillers into his spinal column.

Skipping the pain aspect, something tells me that John Edwards would have quit the race in a similar cosmetic situation. Then again, I can't think of too many people that would have the strength to continue. That's a tough man.

Add to this what the Afghans went throught to vote in their recent elections and I have to conclude that we don't know the meaning of the word intimidation when it comes to voting.

History has many sad examples of heroes leading political movements for reform or outright revolution and failing to live up to expectations of their followers. For example, the eventual actions of Napoleon and Castro certainly took many people by surprise.

Sometimes, however, a nation lucks out and finds the real thing. An individual with the qualities of George Washington rises to leadership. Specifically, their leader�s actions reveal enough commitment which would sacrifice their life for the love of their people. The courage and self-sacrifice of Yushchenko�s actions offers a promise to become a gift from heaven for the future of the Ukrainian people.

Nope.

No poisoning. The docs from Rudolfinehaus backed off those statements last night.

Besides, just because the SAY he was poisoned, doesn't make it so. They offered no proof.

In fact, yesterday they said they have NO EVIDENCE of poisoning and they can't get Yushchenko in to do the ONE test that might give them an aswer: a skin biopsy.

Why?

Viktor doesn't want to campaign with a band-aid on his face (you know how disfiguring they are!)

But I've been saying this ALL ALONG at
