Yuschenko running a scam?

[V-G]

Could it be the case that Yuschenko staged the poisoning? Rationally speaking I don't know of a person who would cause himself such pain, but this is all about the election! General public is usually led by cases of "unfairness". Once Yuschenko makes everybody believe that he was poisoned, more people will believe that he deserves to be a president as he has suffered for his attempt! I don't know, it seems like there can be reasonable doubt as to where he was poisoned by somebody in the current government...

The other thing that bothers me is if it was a poisoning, why not do it with a stronger dosage? Why not murder him, just like Gongadze? Sure they have the power to cover it up, right?

It is all political... but the dosage was far from lethal!

An interesting theory VG.. not one I had considered.. but why not?... when someone is desperate for power maybe a little bit of poison might seem a good way forward..

I have seen CHEAP VODKA do the same thing.

Maybe Volodya. But why would anyone disfigue themselves? Would you poison yourself, even for money? What do you think your girlfriend would say? Is any of this worth the risk?

Think about this....

Get real guys. We are talking about the second most powerful nation in the world. If Russia wanted him dead, believe me, he would be dead.
Whatever his political strategy might be or whatever happened to him I have no idea.
I do wish the people of Ukraine success in their search for freedom and independance from "ALL" other nations. I'm not convinced though that this poisoned goon is the answer to their prayers.

GREAT JOKE MATE! perhaps Mr.Yu has drunk some "bodyaga" and now remembered dioxin, it seems to be the same crap as "Iraqi WMD" that has been "discovered" by CIA in Iraq now it's going to be "discovered" in Ukraine if Yanukovich wins or in Transdnestrien, according to "Globe and Mail" nuclear warheads in Teraspol are "growing" everywhere and all the locals collect it and sell to arab-looking "terrorists" en masse

The whole thing seems totally incredulous to a American, for sure.

Could he have been taking an antidote in anticipation?

Man, fiction isn't this good!
