Did Karazi win the election? No, he used his criminal connections including the CIA and rigged the polling stations. Remember and then the US came out and acknowledge his win. Not a few months before the USA
screamed when Iran elections did not go as planed. So his rigs the elections and breezes into office. Without another election or run off.
So where are we today? The US policy is to fight so we can establish an official Afganistan government. Basically allowing Karazi to stay in office. The real reason behind all the fighting is money. If the money comes from the CIA stealing the Opium so be it, or if the money comes from establishing a central government that all its people know pay taxes to. Welcoming Afgan to the IMF and other Worldy lending operations.
What ever the policy is at the moment our young men and women are dying. And at this time the US policy is not changing meaning many more will die in the months ahead. I believe the attack on Times Square and the Oil rig in the Gulf Coast were 2 terror attempts the week before Karazi arrived in DC. The non legitmate government in both Afganistan and Pakistan are corrupt. There are elements in both these countries that are doing there upmost to keep the West out of its region. Either for money or patriotism they are against the West. The Times Square attack could have been devastasting, it might have been a crude bomb but there were a tank of gas, and if blown at the right time could have been terrible and the first terror attack in the US
since Sept. 11th. Atleast the one's they tell you about. That oil spill or terror attack will coast over 2 billion.
