New Allegations of Fraud in Afghan Election

Votes are still being counted in Afghanistan's presidential election as President Hamid Karzai moves closer to capturing enough of the official count to avoid a runoff. But a major U.S. newspaper is reporting allegations of massive voter fraud to help Afghan president Hamid Karzai win re-election. The report comes as Afghanistan's Independent Electoral Complaints Commission says votes from nearly 500 polling stations across the country have been invalidated due to allegations of widespread fraud. VOA's Chris Simkins has more on the story.

Abdullah is good actor, he talks in confidence as if he is innocent. First himself was involved in fraud and when he realized that his opponent is better then him in fraud, then he started crying. (ABDULLAH WE KNOW YOU BIG LIER)

H Karzai go to hello. He is so corrupt, it will be like pouring money into a rat hole.

It would be best to pull up stakes with such a corrupt govt.

Level the place and let the buzzards clean up the rest.

Then enter the place and claim a section on the coast for our vessels and aircraft to attack Iran.
