Neo-con politicians take major hits in Eastern Europe
Political leaders supported by an unholy alliance of U.S. neo-conservative circles and George Soros’s pro-globalization forces have suffered a string of political defeats in Eastern Europe. Perhaps the biggest catastrophe for the neo-cons was in Poland where one of the stars of America’s interventionist foreign policy, Polish parliament speaker Radoslaw (Radek) Sikorski, announced his resignation after secret recordings emerged. The secret tapes scandal, known as «Waitergate», revealed Sikorski and several governing Civic Platform party officials discussing illegal deals involving bribery and extortion over expensive meals, rare bottles of wine, and Cuban cigars at plush restaurants in Warsaw.
