"AFGHAN ELECTION TOON": Couldn't resist this! It's so 'WHAT IS HAPPENING'right now in AfPakland. Whoever wins the Afghan election is going to be a Eurasian oil pipeline puppet,lol, it's SO SET-UP, the election is such a sham!
Whether it's Talib/Pashtun 'Mr.Unocal' Karzai OR Mr.Tajik/Pashtun 'Gas-man' Abdullah Abdullah both have HEAVY backing by the US,Saudi,European Govt/oil companies.
And that's why there are US puppet dictators,war-lords,drug lords,torturers etc installed at all strategic bends and points,in the Stans and Caucuses,all along the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan-Afghan-Pakistan pipeline,and that's why many of the US private mercenary(like Blackwater,Cubic etc)military armies(paid by the Pentagon/CIA) have set up offices/bases in all the same areas.
Fraud is right!
The Oil/Gas men(Exxon,Bp,Pennzoil,Tamoil,Delta,Amoco,Unocal etc) and the World Bank have TOO MANY BILLIONS already invested in this Lubbly pipeline.
At the expense of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT PEOPLES' LIVES.
In fact they should have had a characature of the Ubek 'butcher' Abdul Rashid Dostum next to Karzai with a voting box on HIS head saying,"Murder and Corruption"

"Roll up,roll up by 100 voting registration cards,going cheap"!

Remember this when they go to the polls on Thursday.
Also that 30 per cent of voters WON'T be voting because they are WOMEN,even tho' they desperately want to.
And 2 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan won't be able to vote too.
That leaves about about a quarter of all those who could vote in Afghanistan.
The bombs that the TALIBAN will be using to disrupt the elections,probably,will be paid for by US bucks(20 per cent in kickbacks to the Taliban)from the reconstruction money.
And 'good ole' 'General' Abdul Rashid DOSTUM,the UZBEK butcher of....whoever will pay him enough,will be threatening to execute ANY Uzbek/Afghan if they don't vote for Karzai!
After all,the CIA paid him 2 MILLION bucks in cash(Bush signed the EO for it) in Oct 2001 to 'deal with' over 1,500 Afghanis or UNARMED,HUNGRY and BOUND Taliban(radical or not).
And they KNEW that DOSTUM NEVER TAKES LIVE PRISONERS!
"Free and Fair"?
