The NYT fart-ed means US is against Abdullah and had the ISI fix the elections. Plain and simple.
If they were neutral they never would have talked about the internal affairs.
100% accurate, Ramana.
In fact, the US is now peddling the line that there was really no fraud in the elections to speak of and Abdullah should play ball and concede like a good boy. All the "neutral" observers are actually now making noises to certify the election as completely legit. Sounds like US had made a deal with ISI, bribed ISI rather, to allow for an orderly withdrawal from Afg of US troops in exchange for letting ISI's man in charge, on their way out.
Apparently, the US has delivered and is now spreading propaganda that all is well in the elections and it is Abdullah who is playing spoilt sport.
India has completely lost in Afghanistan. If you think about all the actors involved in this US fiasco in Afghanistan over the last 10 years, or let me say over the last 30 years, since Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, no one has been a bigger loser than India. India has lost strategically, tactically, financially and in loss of life and prestige.
But most importantly, this is a another big blow to the Hindus. Until 1970s, Afghanistan had still not turned into a rabidly anti-hindu and totally cave mentality Islamist extremist cesspool. In fact, it acted as kind of a check on Paki insanity and provided some breathing space or respite to the Hindus from a relentless push of the Islamists from all directions. Iran and Arabs pushing through PAki on the West, East Bengal from the East, and Afghan was acting as a minor defense against the Central Asian Islamists pushing through the PAki from the North. Now that little bit of a space that a moderate Afghan provided the Hindus until the 1970s is gone and India is now more vulnerable than ever.
Not only will Afghan now provide strategic depth for PAki and ISlam in general against the Hindus, it will also provide an offensive capability in all those caveman Pushtoon extremists now joining hands with the extremist PAkis to attack India and dismember Kashmir and in the long run further the cause of totally Islamizing India, which the Islamists claim is their unfinished work in Soth and South East Asia, after totally converting Malay, Indonesia and other places in the vicinity. They see total Islamization of India very close at hand, as most of the work is already done, in their view, and now what is required is just a final push. The Hindus are weak and are sitting ducks, just waiting to be pushed over the edge.
India will be the first major and large civilization outside of Arabia to fall to the Islamists and will be a huge feather in the Subhumans' cap, giving them strength, encouragement and tremendous amount of manpower to go after China and finally the West, on their way to world domination and their ultimate goal of "un-civilizing" the entire world population and emptying out the world of any remotely civilized ethos or instincts.
Behead behead behead! Stone, stone, stone! Long live barbarity! Brutality Paindabad! and as for Prophet Muhammed, may peace be on him !
