Hamid Karzai is sounding pretty cool as of late. He’s vowing to run a clean government and is urging his “Taliban brothers” to come back and embrace their country. Abdullah Abdullah dropped out of the run-off election, stating the vote wouldn’t be free. He wanted certain poll officials removed before he’d partake in the run-off. Karzai has said, “Our government has been seriously discredited by administrative corruption”. He went on to say, “We will try to remove this stigma from our soil and our country in any possible way.”
If one is inclined to believe Mr. Karzai, we very well could be seeing an end to this war, or at least a serious drop in troop numbers, much sooner than predicted.
