"Security fears cloud Afghan campaigns" by Laura King, Los Angeles Times | June 17, 2009
KABUL, Afghanistan - The chronic disorganization that characterizes most large-scale endeavors here....
Have you ever seen an election run around here, 'mukn?
Or anywhere else for that matter?
But it's just those damn stoo-pid, dirt-eating, wife-whipping, blood-drinking Muslim crowd that, you know, can't get it together.
You know, same attitude the racist Zionist AmeriKan MSM and its Jewish supremacism conveys about black Africans.
Last week, when the final candidates list was compiled, the head of the election commission said he was “ashamed’’ lawmakers had failed to set basic requirements for seeking the country’s highest office, such as the ability to read and write. Some candidates, he said, were illiterate.
We got VOTERS like that here in Amurka!!!!
Providing a secure environment for the vote will be a huge challenge for NATO and US forces in a country where the burgeoning insurgency has rendered large swaths of territory unsafe for travel. In Helmand, the country’s largest opium-producing region and the scene of heavy fighting between coalition troops and the Taliban, officials said this week that five of the province’s 13 districts were outside the government’s control....
Huh? And I DIDN'T SEE a WORD in the Globe! Imagine that!
And it's MORE than that!
But forget that, let's get back to the (puke) politics:
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has led the country since 2001, is the frontrunner. However, his popularity has slid sharply over the past two years, and polls suggest he might have trouble winning 50 percent of the votes.
Translation: U.S. MAY RIG ANOTHER ELECTION and DUMP KARZAI!
Karzai’s campaign manager, Haji Din Mohammed, dismissed a poll Monday by the International Republican Institute indicating the president’s voter support had fallen to 31 percent. Other surveys have pointed to disenchantment among the populace, citing corruption, pervasive violence, and inefficient governance.
“These polls are not neutral,’’ Mohammed said. “No other candidate has [Karzai’s] standing.’’--more--"
Here's how much I care about some sham election to be shoved down Afghan throats.
Think any of these guys will win?
