Washington is using its political clout to influence the outcome of the upcoming presidential elections in Afghanistan, a report says.
The US embassy in Kabul has urged Afghanistan’s leading presidential hopefuls to withdraw from the race in favor of Ali Ahmad Jalali — a candidate that is more preferred by Washington, reported Pakistan’s Ummat daily.In return, US official have promised to guarantee key positions for the three candidates — which include finance minister Ashraf Ghani, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah and political activist Anwar ul-Haq Ahadi — in the next Afghan government.
The move received instant condemnation as flagrant US interference in Afghan politics and internal affairs.
Jalali — who is viewed as the main rival of President Hamed Karzai in the August presidential elections — is a US citizen and former Afghan minister of the interior.

The cycle of killing will continue for as long as we support the psychopaths that are in power.
The central bankers, wall street alchemists and military industrial complex are making waaay too much money on this cycle of killing for their to be any chance of peace.
The really sick part about it is we keep them in power. They rely on us to keep using their money, keep voting in their political elections and keep listening to their smiling propagandists on TV. If we stop doing these things, they lose their power and the cycle of killing could end.
Don’t fight the system:
Replace it

Put the media in their place. Write a micro letter to the editor on http://hookk.com
Lets face it, sometimes they get it right and they deserve commendation but we also have to make them accountable when they are not doing their job.
You can write a hookk and have people comment on your point of view. It’s really smooth and easy to use and there is no sign up. It’s a must use for avid readers of the news.

The Afghans would be right to tell you to STFU and let us decide who our president will be, now kindly, FO. I applaud them if they do just that.

Bob, I think there is more going on in Afghanistan than they tell us about. Osama Bin Laden is almost never talked about anymore. I think it has to do about money( can we say Heroin and oil pipelines?) Otherwise, why we want to waste our servicemens, lives in such a Godforsaken place?
April 17th, 2009 at 9:18 am
If we want these people( the Afghans) to have free elections then we shouldn,t interfere with the process. We surely wouldn,t like it if foreigners were trying to control our electoral process. We should keep our noses out of it.

…elites pick a leader, hold ceremonial election according to form of law, and broadcast
the performance of their stage production into every home. It’s all hollywood. I wasted
so much time and energy on all that election stuff, working at polls. No more.

YEAH…OUR GOVERNMENT WANTS TO HAND-PICK WHO GETS IN..THEY NEED A GUY THEY CAN COUNT ON TO HELP WITH THE OPIUM SCAM……BUNCH OF PUNKS

Yeah, democracy is great.. especially since we’ve never done it. So glad we’ve spreading this disease around the world. How the fuck is pre-selecting a leader considered democratic?

Rome is what Rome does. A nation is conquered and the conqueror establishes its puppet government, a puppet which will always serve the conqueror’s agenda. That is the nature and process of world empire. WHERE’s the MYSTERy of it all? Peel away the veneer and you’ll find that American soldiers would have executed that insurgent leader Jesus after he was handed over to them by their puppet Judean government. The violent and oppressive nature of EMPIRE is always justified by its citizens because they prosper from it, but the violence and oppression is always the same, while the name oppressor and the year on the calendar may change.
