World pressures Karzai on election fraud issues

Whether Afghan President Hamid Karzai will bow to the press of world leaders and either tacitly or directly admit election fraud, through some sort of “solution,” or not, is one reason we shouldn’t send more troops to Afghanistan.

We should also wait to see how serious and successful Pakistan is with its South Wiziristan offensive.

That issue alone shows how clueless Gen. Stanley McChrystal (and, behind him, Gen. David Petraeus) are about geopolitics AND grand strategy, even if they are whip-smart about tactics, and heavily into U.S. political manipulation.
