In a word, "They aren't worth it. Critics were right, Muslims can't handle democracy."
Forget the reality of fraud, or how much (compared to Philadelphia? ACORN?) or corruption (compared to Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac?). Seriously, folks.
Look for the media to follow a trail of justifications for Obama simply to chuck the whole Afghanistan involvement. Obama's fecklessness is already setting up a Vietnam comparison, and re-run, only, unlike Johnson-Nixon, having no great animus toward the evil-empires-in-waiting in the world, Obama won't feel compelled to stay the course for some global/national security objective.
How could Karzai be so stupid and shortsighted? Not only has he maybe signed his own death warrant, Afghanistan and the Taliban may yet be the next nuclear power in the region.
Now there's a sobering thought...only, it won't be George Bush's fault.
