| #5 since we cannot support a fraud elected on a sham ballot Nah, he'll look surprised and ask "Obama? Acorn"? and look bewildered. |

| #4 So why is Bambi so unprepared for this? A more interesting question is whether he is prepared for anything. Except trashing the enemy d'jour. He's looking more like a deer in the headlights every day. |

| #3 More to the point: Bambi has been in charge for nine months. This election was scheduled and we all knew the date. We also pretty well knew that there was going to be a lot of voter fraud and that the outcome was pre-ordained. After all, name the last election in the Middle East outside of Israel that wasn't preordained. So Bambi knew this. And he's just now trying to figure out what to do? Criminy, O, you're from Chicago. Either you acquiesce in the fraud and double-down on the result, which should be easy given your own experience, or you get out in front and try to ensure that the election is only semi-smelly. You had time to think this through. At least your aides did. Rahm sure did. So why is Bambi so unprepared for this? One would wonder if this is the point: let Karzai hang. Let the election be seen as fraudulent. Then justify withdrawal of American forces (or at least not following McChrystal's plan) on the basis of, "they can't run a proper election in Afghanistan." But that would be devious. |

| #2 I'd like McChrystal to walk in and tell Karzai the US is withdrawing ALL its troops over the next 90 days, since we cannot support a fraud elected on a sham ballot. I'm sure Karzai will have some "interesting" facial expressions. |
