Second Election in Afghanistan - Part Two

BBC News: Reports that Afghanistan is to hold a second round of its Presidential Election due to fraud in the first round. The reasons can be found in the press release by the Electoral Complaints Commission under the UN umbrella, the ECC found that fraud had occured in 21o polling stations in Afghanistan thus President Karzai didn't get over 50% in the first run to avoid a second round, as the BBC reports he got 48%. On first impressions it looks like President Karzai has given in to the USA and the UN but its a mirage, what is to stop another massive fraud in the second round of elections, Hillary Clinton has stated that Karzai would win a second round so what is the point, the Obama Administration wanted a Unity government in Kabul but President Karzai and Dr Abdullah both or one of them wants sole power, looks more like President Karzai. Thus we come to the second round of elections, so in under two weeks the polling stations have to be ready, security for the voters has to be in place, the first round has a year's grace before the actual event, thus what can we expect, thus Karzai will win again, Diem all over again, Obama will be in tight spot, he wanted a unity government but can you see JFK and Richard Nixon working together after the 1960 election or Al Gore and Bush 43 working together after the contested 2000 election, of course not, power is power at the end of the day. Also the Taliban and Al Qaeda will try to use the second round for good PR from their view, thus attacks on the people and on the Western security. This is Obama's mess, PM Brown should state that it will have to be US troops that give security, its going to be Karzai anyway, thus Obama should provide the security, this might get him to send the extra forty thousand troops as requested by General McChrystal.
