President Hamid Karzai has relented to international and internal pressure agreeing to a runoff election scheduled for Nov. 7th of this year. Whether the runoff election will be held in two weeks is still up to much speculation as there is widespread concern that the election commission can setup up a national election in 14 days, the fact that many polling places did not have monitors from candidates or the international community, and, well, security. It is most likely that the election will be postponed till after the snows and that some sort of interim government with opposition candidate Abdullah Abdullah will be put into place.
This is good news. I really don’t see how the U.S. could give any aid to an illegitimate government. I hope we can get their government running and get out, ASAP.
looks like Carville has exported the Dem play book… keep counting until your guy wins.
^ What the hell does that mean?
top challenger Abdullah Abdullah is a client of James Carville (although it is unclear who is paying the tab.
just another tool in the foriegn policy quiver.
lizard, i don’t understand, are you saying that there was no fraud in the election? that karzai won the election lawfully? are you saying carville fabricated fraud?
no, can’t tell, yes.
Thanks for your honesty, just checking how silly you’re being. 😉
