Miami Vice, more like.

Meh, I don't get Miami Vice re-runs anymore. I wasn't a big fan of the show when I did get the re-runs -- A-Team was always more interesting to me as a kid. (Learned to tie my fucking shoes because of Mr. T. I'm that dependent on old television.)

And besides, I grew with a Nash Bridges Don Johnson, not a Sonny Crockett Johnson.

This topic is offically derailed.

When does a topic ever stay on the rails?

The Bush administration has spent more than $65 million in the past two years to aid political organizations in Ukraine, paying to bring opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko to meet U.S. leaders and helping to underwrite an exit poll indicating he won last month's disputed runoff election.

U.S. officials say the activities don't amount to interference in Ukraine's election, as Russian President Vladimir Putin alleges, but are part of the $1 billion the State Department spends each year trying to build democracy worldwide.

No U.S. money was sent directly to Ukrainian political parties, the officials say. In most cases, it was funneled through organizations such as the Eurasia Foundation or through groups aligned with Republicans and Democrats that organized election training, with human rights forums or with independent news outlets.

But officials acknowledge that some of the money helped train groups and individuals opposed to the Russian-backed government candidate - people who now call themselves part of the "Orange Revolution."

The US want this man in power, and it would not suprise me that they would posion him to get the large sympathy vote it will surely lend him.

They are smart enough to know that the first person who is questioned when a politican is attacked is their opposition. And that's basically what everyone here did, immediatly saying "Oh yeah, that's covert Ruskies all the way". It mioght be. I wouldn't say they are incapable.

I just don't think they're that stupid. Is the US that smart?

I don't know that either.

Yeah... he didn't die anyway. It would make more sense to kill him. To leave him disfigured just generates sympathy.

The purpose was probably to kill him and it didn't succeed

I'm sure if they had enough access to him (they say his soup was spiked), why not just give him something that would kill him right away? The only thing that I can think of is that they used dioxins because they are undetectable or something.

That would obviously be the reason. If you give people a reason to suspect, during a time of highteined tensions, they will be extra apprehensive about percieved dangers.

Poisoned food didn't work on Rasputin, either.

Rasputin is still alive, mate.

No he's not. Why, you yourself even showed us his pickled penis.

Well, he was one of those malaysian boy who got his dick chopped.
