Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has dropped her legal challenge against her rival's victory in Ukraine's presidential election, reports say.

Mrs Tymoshenko reportedly said she did not see any sense in pursuing the case against the winner, Viktor Yanukovych.

The Kiev court had suspended the result when Mrs Tymosheko appealed on Tuesday, claiming the poll was rigged.

International monitors deemed the vote free and fair, and Mr Yanukovych is due to be inaugurated on 25 February.

1. Its very unusual

for International monitors to be allowed to deem votes free and fair when the outcome is not in the interest of the USA as is the case here.

2. which in itself is proof that the election of Viktor Yanukovych was free and democratic

The Orange Revolution, and its American neoliberal economic policies, was a major flop!

3. For comparison

check out Ajerbaijan sometime. The election observors were kicked out and the USA did diddly squat - just gotta protect that pipeline. I know that because the mother of one my dance friends was one of those observors.

4. She kind of reminds me of Orly Taitz somehow ... nt

5. Oily Tits?

Aw, naw,c'mon now. Let's be fair. Tymoshenko is more or less of a hottie. Oily Tits is a transexual cartoon character. And Tymo's opponent is a commie.

6. Well, yeah, there are some differences too.

Both women though, both sore losers, both fond of making things up when the facts won't do the job, both paranoid control freaks.

7. This has nothing to do with being a loser!

She is currently Premier and holds more power than the president she could not be.
Her efforts are just to prolong that and sign as many executive orders as possible before she goes back to big business.
Does that remind anyone of anything recent in a bigger nation concerning profiteering at the end of mandates?

8. She lost the election, right? nt
