Clinton On Afghanistan

Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, shared her views on the current situations in Afghanistan Friday. A presidential election in Afghanistan is likely and according to Clinton the current president, Hamid Karzai, has the best chance of winning. Karzai is well known for corruption and vote fraud, not exactly making him a reliable person for the job. Clinton went on to say that Obama is accepting the fact the Karzai will most likely win an election and plans to put pressure on Karzai to clean up his act. The next presidential election in Afghanistan and the decision on sending more troops in Afghanistan will either help the U.S. win or loose this war. These next few weeks and months will be very crucial to the outcome.
