[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A Pak senator has claimed the country fixed the 2009 Afghanistan's Caped Presidential Elections in the favour of the former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a
Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
Senator Mushahid Hussain made the revelation during an interview with a locla newspaper.
Pointing towards Pakistain’s role in shaping the polling results, Senator Hussain explicitly told The Express that "the election, we know how to rig, and they were duly rigged in favour of Karzai."
The Senator further added that he had told American officials that Karzai was smarter than any of them and had the capacity to outsmart and still survive.
"President Hamid Karzai knew that Americans were gunning for him. He switched from America to Pakistain, earned a good will, and there were three million Afghan refugees in Pakistain and we were supposed to be holding their elections, and all the threemillion voted for Karzai," he said.
He also also asserted that President B.O.’s Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistain, Richard Holbrooke met with him in Lahore in 2009 before the presidential elections in Afghanistan in August.
"Holbrooke took out a notepad and he said to me, ’Tell me who should be the next president of Afghanistan," Mushahid said he found the remark very arrogant and pompous. "I said, Holbrooke, are you deciding the presidency today? Is it just pick and choose? It’s not going to happen," he said.
The 2009 Presidential Elections ended in Karzai’s favour after his rival Abdullah Abdullah
... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun...
decided to pull out of the vote during the second round of the election.
Abdullah had said the decision was taken "in the best interests of the country".
In a gathering organized late in 2009, Abdullah made it clear he did not want to provoke a confrontation with Karzai or risk partisan violence.
