Subordinating Afghanistan & Iraq to the U.S. Presidential elections

In Afghanistan, although there is still roiling chaos, and Karzai is begging for UN help which is being refused, the presidential election will occur in mid-October. But only the president, as it is assured that Karzai will win (being the only candidate), but it is not certain that other elected positions will find pro-American winners. So those elections will have to wait until after November. Voila! Success in Afghanistan: a "democratic" election of an American puppet.

Of course BushCo will be claiming a success in Iraq by continuing to claim that on July 1 Iraq became a sovereign nation, free from evil Hussein, thanks to BushCo. Elections there, with the very likely outcome of seeing anti-American winners, have successfully been postponed until well after November.

Never mind that neither country is free or democratic or in any way a success story for anybody but arms manufacturers and political puppets.

Isn't it nice when you can manipulate entire countries for election campaign material?

Isn't it grand when entire countries are merely pawns on your game board?

It's good to be king.
