Afghani redo
The "UN backed" election commission in Afghanistan (I put "UN backed" in quotes because the "Afghan" election commission now has only 1 Afghan, with 1 Canadian, 1 US, and 1 Dutch making up the rest of the group....)
Anyway, the UN dominated election council has slashed Karzai's corrupted vote total to safely below 50% forcing a runoff election.
This would seem to be a cop out way for NATO to restage the very corrupt election.
(There is the possibility of a coalition government without a runoff, but neither Karzai or Abdullah seems prone towards that,)

My guess is the UN wants to keep Karzai in but they need to make sure it looks legit.

I agree completely. A runoff gives them a valid reason to rerun the election without casting blame on KArzai for fraud.
