(The allegations: <A HREF="http://www.dt.ua/1000/1550/66196/" REL="nofollow"> overcharges in the Army’s food supply contracts </A>, <A HREF="http://www.dt.ua/1000/1550/66173/" REL="nofollow">corrupt land deals</A>.)<br /><br />Besides, I think it’s not what really matters to Tymoshenko. Controlling law enforcement and the Army is what matters in a major election. <br /><br />Now, who controls the army and the SBU? President Yushchenko/Defense Minister Yekhanurov. Who controls the police? PM Tymoshenko/Interior Minister Lutsenko.<br /><br />So, Tymoshenko clearly bases her HRM on loyalty: Yekhanurov, <I>his</I> man, must go; Lutsenko, <I>my</I> man, must stay.Tarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139892487573795049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19297350.post-40755617805077628812009-05-24T17:43:09.228+03:002009-05-24T17:43:09.228+03:00Why is Tymo going after Yekhanurov, the Defense Mi...Why is Tymo going after Yekhanurov, the Defense Minister, to resign?<br /><br />Tymo alleges "corruption."<br /><br />Something about overpaying for food for the army and selling off land.<br /><br />What's the real story?elmernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19297350.post-17622594762364432242009-05-23T10:13:41.496+03:002009-05-23T10:13:41.496+03:00:):)Tarashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139892487573795049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19297350.post-19069574783916414712009-05-22T03:28:25.507+03:002009-05-22T03:28:25.507+03:00I thought this post included pictures, at least on...I thought this post included pictures, at least one picture.

Braid or no braid,...Thank you for commenting, Eva!<br /><br />Braid or no braid, her hairstyle looks better than her performance, as far as her approval ratings can tell. <br /><br />I think she just wanted to refresh herself a little bit — to give herself a more natural, down-to-earth look. All politicians are doing it, especially in an election year. It’s a “mating season” between power-seeking politicians and their power-giving voters.<br /><br /><br />You are welcome, Gabriela!
