7. Why did Clinton say we'll accept Karzai as President even if support is below 50%?

Significantly, Clinton reportedly later told the Afghan Foreign Minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta, in a private meeting, that the United States and its allies now accept Karzai would remain president even if fraud probes reduce his support in the August election to below 50 per cent.

DMaybe Dems are programed to support election fraud in other countries like they did in ours in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Sounds like same old, same old.
