Here is an explanation of the CEC that the mayor and self- nomination by the party spsykom not a violation of that yesterday ignored TEC.

quote:

TEC members from shock, homeland, the Party of Regions and the Communist Party demonstrated touching unity.

Never thought I say this vsluh worn phrase for what we stood on the Maidan ? For three months after former colleagues on the barricades soaked my methods Yanukovych- Kivalova ?

Members oligarchic dohovornyaka did not understand what happened in Ukraine over the past six months. It did not help any fuss circle bulldozer or inhalation powder extinguisher.

Advertise "life in a new way " on TV - is one thing, but their real deeds - is another.

PS The formal reason was that the mayor , I 'm going as a self and how to lead a non-partisan party list (Article 35 ). Removal took place on the last possible day ( an old trick - even under Kuchma as filmed ).

The same fate postyhla John Salia - it too was removed , he said , " for the company ." Commission " could not find" this fatal mistake in the documents and I filed April 29. Now executed the command " remove" .

The official explanation of the CEC representative Andrei Magera in my favor - first cooled dust. But after telephone calls rates have increased, and shyness has given way to greed

P.p.s. Chairman of the TEC from shock, secretary of homeland.

We will appeal against this decision tomorrow . The campaign continues.

het was nu ook weer niet zo dat de sancties tegen Irak afhankelijk waren van de eventuele aanwezigheid van massavernietigingswapens, dat was maar een voetnoot in een hele lijst eisen

probleem was dat de bondgenoten geen zin meer hadden om er na 10 jaar nog tijd en aandacht (=geld!) in te steken en de Amerikanen eigenlijk ook niet dus dachten ze goedkoper uit te zijn door een korte snelle oorlog tegen Saddam uit te vechten

Moreover, Mr Ritter said, the ruling Baath party would mobilise a guerrilla resistance. US casualties, he predicted, could run to hundreds and perhaps thousands. Iraqi deaths would be in the tens of thousands or higher.

5. If America went to war with Iraq, would it be in the British national interest to take part?

"Absolutely not," says Paul Rogers, professor of peace studies at Bradford University. "It would risk destabilising the the whole region."

Dr Hollis _{(Rosemary Hollis, head of the Middle East programme at the Royal Institute of International Affairs)} is also fearful that by backing a US strike, Britain could be brought into the firing line. Iraq could be provoked into establishing direct links with al-Qaida and provide the network with more recruits, she says, raising the spectre of terrorist attacks on Britain.

quote:

MR. RUSSERT: If your analysis is not correct, and we’re not treated as liberators, but as conquerors, and the Iraqis begin to resist, particularly in Baghdad, do you think the American people are prepared for a long, costly, and bloody battle with significant American casualties?

VICE PRES. CHENEY: Well, I don’t think it’s likely to unfold that way, Tim, because I really do believe that we will be greeted as liberators. I’ve talked with a lot of Iraqis in the last several months myself, had them to the White House.
..
MR. RUSSERT: The army’s top general said that we would have to have several hundred thousand troops there for several years in order to maintain stability.

VICE PRES. CHENEY: I disagree. We need, obviously, a large force and we’ve deployed a large force. To prevail, from a military standpoint, to achieve our objectives, we will need a significant presence there until such time as we can turn things over to the Iraqis themselves. But to suggest that we need several hundred thousand troops there after military operations cease, after the conflict ends, I don’t think is accurate. I think that’s an overstatement.
..
But the—again, I come back to this proposition—Is it cost-free? Absolutely not. But the cost is far less than it will be if we get hit, for example, with a weapon that Saddam Hussein might provide to al-Qaeda, the cost to the United States of what happened on 9/11 with billions and billions of dollars and 3,000 lives.

MR. RUSSERT: Every analysis said this war itself would cost about $80 billion, recovery of Baghdad, perhaps of Iraq, about $10 billion per year. We should expect as American citizens that this would cost at least $100 billion for a two-year involvement.

VICE PRES. CHENEY: I can’t say that, Tim. There are estimates out there. It’s important, though, to recognize that we’ve got a different set of circumstances than we’ve had in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan you’ve got a nation without significant resources. In Iraq you’ve got a nation that’s got the second-largest oil reserves in the world, second only to Saudi Arabia. It will generate billions of dollars a year in cash flow if they get back to their production of roughly three million barrels of oil a day, in the relatively near future.

* March 4, Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a breakfast with reporters: "What you'd like to do is have it be a short, short conflict. . . . Iraq is much weaker than they were back in the '90s," when its forces were routed from Kuwait.

* March 11, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars: "The Iraqi people understand what this crisis is about. Like the people of France in the 1940s, they view us as their hoped-for liberator."

* March 16, Vice President Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press: "I think things have gotten so bad inside Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months." He predicted that regular Iraqi soldiers would not "put up such a struggle" and that even "significant elements of the Republican Guard . . . are likely to step aside."

Hmm ik lees op de FT dat de VS de export van energie-technologie naar Rusland die bestemd is voor nieuwe velden die door staatsbedrijven worden gerund, zou willen blokkeren. Bestaande velden en privé-bedrijven blijven buiten schot. Op de lange termijn, en als hierop kan worden toegezien, zou dit erg vervelend zijn voor Rosneft en Gazprom.

OSCE/ODIHR and HCNM release report by Human Rights Assessment Mission in Ukraine

WARSAW / THE HAGUE, 12 May 2014 – The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and the OSCE High Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM) today released the report from the joint Human Rights Assessment Mission the two institutions sent to Ukraine in early March 2014.

The assessment and recommendations are presented in two separate sections in the report, with those in the first part based on the information gathered by 19 human rights experts deployed by ODIHR from 6 March to 1 April, and the second on information from several HCNM delegations of minority rights experts who visited Ukraine between 8 March and 17 April.

The ODIHR section of the report identifies a significant number of serious human rights violations, including murder and physical assaults, as well as cases of intimidation and enforced disappearances. The victims of these were primarily pro-Maidan activists and journalists, and those in Crimea also included Ukrainian military personnel and members of the Crimean Tatar community.

The HCNM found that the events in Ukraine are having a serious effect on the situation of national minorities, especially in Crimea. In Crimea, the Crimean Tatars are in a particularly precarious position, and ethnic Ukrainians have become a new focus of concern. The HCNM also found that hasty decisions on sensitive issues, such as language and other matters of direct concern to national minorities, without consultations with them, are creating an atmosphere in which inter-community relations and trust in the authorities are strained and tensions are heightened.

The Human Rights Assessment Mission was deployed following a request by the Government of Ukraine on 3 March.
