Hamid Karzai was declared Afghanistan president, according to a CNN email new release. And I have to admit I'm disappointed because I don't think we have a totally honest elected official we're dealing with in Karzai, but we have no choice as his rival Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the presidential election.
President Hamid Karzai
Abdullah Abdullah put up a good fight against amazing odds; few believed he could win an election against Karzai.
But the reason quit was because he believed he would not win a runoff because of he same fraud issues that plagued the country's election to start with.
The basic question is what does he know about the location of Osama Bin Ladin and is he also working with terrorists at the same time he's work with the United States? Morever, Karzai's own people don't take his presidency seriously and he asked for our military presence, so it's as if we're propping him up.
We can't do that.
Rather than committing more troops, we should use more drones in this case. Fight the war from space and really go after specific targets. This deal's a real mess and I can't see a conventional path to success.
Stay tuned.
