Dioxin Poisioning? Choux 12/11/04
    I guess Putin is stooping to his old KGB tricks in order to grab power. Is he trying to resurrect the old USSR to oppose America on the world stage along with allies France and ?....It was confirmed today that Yevshenko was poisioned by Dioxin(toxic chemical) at some point during the political campaign for president of Ukrane. Desperate measure, I would say. Too Medieval for these times...as if it would not be found out????? What are the behind the scenes forces that are causing this sort of move by Putin???

      Clarification/Follow-up by ETWolverine on 12/13/04 10:38 am:
      Tom,

      I don't question the historical background of Russian political assasination. L-rd knows, thy have a LOOOOOOOG history of it. But usually, assasinations of that type were done by political incompetants, not by effective political leaders. Putin strikes me as too politically savvy to pull a stunt like this in modern times when TV cameras are constantly on political leaders. Either he would have been smart enough not to try it in the first place, or else he would have been smart enough to succeed.

      It is certainly possible that someone within Putin's inner circle might have tried a stupid stunt like this one. The question is whether Putin knew about it or not. Shmeshko or some other Putin cronie might have tried this without approval from up top... because I don't think that Putin would have ok'd it. Not because he's a nice guy, but because he's a better political operator than that.

      Again, just an opinion.

      Elliot
