The Times: Reports on the prospects for a clear winner in the August Presidential Election in Afghanistan, in essence don't hold your breath. It can be argued that the West has a horse in this race, that is the present President Hamid Karzai, he might have failed in his promises to Afghanistan from getting rid of corruption and drugs but he has not caused major problems for the the Obama Administration and that makes him Chicago's Man in Afghanistan. In between the Taliban threatening to cut off fingers and the buying of votes by the Karzai this really looks like the 1960 Presidential Election in Chicago, just replace the Taliban with the Mob and the corruption of Mayor Daley with Karzai doing deals to buy votes. It must bring back good memories to the New Chicago Leaders in the White House, when they are not picking up your email address if you oppose Obama. The Chicago Fix is in, Karzai will win, Obama needs he devil he knows, Afghanistan could become his Vietnam, and Karazi could be his Diem. The question is can Obama stand up to the Liberal Left of his Party, with the raising death toll in Afghanistan they will want to act as Neville Chamberlain, in other words appease the Taliban/Terrorists, has Obama the statesmanship of a Kennedy and a Reagan, that is open to question folks.
