As a consequence, the Taliban is stronger, says Peter Galbraith, who was fired in a dispute over the voting.

Galbrith has absolutely NOTHING to base this on.
At least they did some recounts which the US stopped illegally in Bush/Gore.
An occupation “fixes” everything don’tcha think? Its pretty stupid to be talking
Report thisabout elections with that going on.

the irony is, PSmith, that Galbrith is doing his best to defend US imperialism as best he can, but it is simply too corrupt to serve it best long term interes.
