CNN headline: Karzai calls for unity, end to corruption in Afghanistan
It is astounding to see the western media treat Karzai like a legitimate winner and someone who has any credibility to fight corruption.
This is akin to how the Soviet media treated the election “victories” of Stalin’s puppets in East Europe.
At least we now have a better understanding of how Hillary Clinton, Obama, and the establishment media define political legitimacy.
On the other hand, this would be a great time to declare mission accomplished. We're overdue for some victory parades. C'mon, Barack, truth or dare!
All the outcry over corruption,stolen fake election,opium all are part of the overall game the US good at.Even the so called other candiadte was part of the game.as usuall the American public blindly will ignore the corruption in their own country and foolishly think that they have influence on what happens in their country.
Stolen elections are appropriate for this American stooge.
After all, it's an open secret that the self-styled Beacon of Liberty, America, has never seen an election it didn't want to steal, corrupt, manipulate or pervert–including the 2000 and 2004 elections.
But for some reason, Americans try to cover up its dirty little secrets of US stolen elections–even as it accuses Iran of stolen elections. This includes many self-styled American Lie-bertarians (like Antiwar.com) who dutifully spread the "Iranian Green Revolution" psyops peddled by the American propaganda machine.

Actually, antiwar.com strongly questioned the 'green revolution' line.
Nice try, though.
Didn't Justin Raimondo (head of antiwar.com) promote the US propaganda line that 1). the Iranian election itself was stolen and 2). the Green Revolution was just a domestic Iranian grassroots movement not propped up by America?

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Care to recall the Reagan-era "demonstration elections" held in pseudo-democracies like Somoza-run El Salvador? At least nowadays the ballot boxes aren't transparent and the number of death squad-committed murders have been better managed by our quislings in the Middle East. Personally, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to discover that our guys had a hand in aiding the Iranian government "oversee" this past testament to democratic aspirations. Let's not forget that the elite have much more in common with their foreign counterparts than they do with the native hoi polloi. See Lasch's THE REVOLT OF THE ELITE.
This exchange was on PBS News Hour.See how disinformation is never challnged or correctede!Lies and damn lies!
(JAMES DOBBINS: You know, Afghanistan is not surrounded by Italy, France, Germany, and Austria. It’s surrounded by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Iran. How many of those have legitimate governments? They don’t even have elections)!

“How many of those have legitimate governments? They don’t even have elections”
What was that took place just few months ago in Iran!
Are the Iraqi and Afghani governments legitimate?!
Karzai–our corrupt puppet in Afghanistan–calls for an end to corruption.
Yeah, and pigs might fly someday, too, but I doubt it!
