He has close relations with Madeline Albright, the secretary of state in the Democratic Clinton administration, Zbigniew Brzezinski, the national security advisor under former president Jimmy Carter, and the financier George Soros. I would not call Madeline Albright, Zbigniew Brzezinski and George Soros "the US". Albright served under Clinton, Brzezinski under Carter, and my understanding is that Brzezinski, for one, was advising Kerry. Soros, of course, spent many millions promoting Kerry's campaign. Whatever strategy these individuals had with respect to Yushchenko, I have no idea, but it's impossible for me to believe that they were advancing official Bush administration policy, or any US policy at all. Soros is a major flake.
