UN sat on Afghan election fraud

Even to the point of firing a UN elections overseer, then lying about why he was fired.

Ted Rall may be right about the need for us to build infrastructure for the real Afghanistan people (and not Karzai’s hacks) before we leave, but he’s even more right about the bottom line of leaving.

“Our man” Karzai is a crook, the Northern Alliance remnants are smaller crooks only because they don’t run the government, the Taliban is thugs, and we likely can’t find a better replacement who wants to risk his or her neck, and who would be trusted to not be a US toady.
