MASSIVE FRAUD IS A SURPRISE?
On a superficial note, I just have to say how funny I think it is that the Obama administration is all in a tizzy about fraud in the elections in Afghanistan. Our own country is over 200 years old, and we still have people squawking every election cycle about fraud (and rightfully so, because we still have people voting unjustly in every cycle). I just think it's funny to expect Afghanistan to be this bastion of trustworthiness and ethical behavior and to be surprised when it's not. Really, they can't talk about committing more troops until election fraud is settled? I can't believe massive election fraud wasn't factored into the plan as a given!
And a funny (in a sad way) quote from Michael Yon:

Regarding the Afghan election, which is now headed for a runoff,
the good news is that the vast majority of Afghans didn’t vote in the
first place and probably are not paying much attention, since they are
illiterate and mostly live in remote villages, many of which do not
have radios. (That’s also a mouthful of bad news.)

I've been trying and trying to think of a good comment for this, but in the end I keep coming back to my reaction when I read your post title - a nodding head and the word "Seriously".
