Two days to go ,and the Taliban have not done as much as expected to Hinder the Elections !
It would be awesome if they really did not do that much , and the elections went on without a hitch , But the Taliban will look like a bunch of bigger Bitches , if they do nothing !
....
KABUL (Reuters) - A Taliban rocket struck the grounds of Afghanistan's presidential palace on Tuesday, just two days before incumbent Hamid Karzai seeks re-election in tense polls that could go to a second round.
Not only is Karzai fighting for a fresh mandate, but the election is also a test of U.S. President Barack Obama's strategy of escalating the 8-year-old conflict in an effort to reverse recent Taliban gains.
In a speech on Monday aimed at bolstering public support, Obama called the Afghan conflict "a war worth fighting."
Election campaigning officially ended at midnight after a final day that saw hectic rallies in support of Karzai and his main rival, former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah.
Polls show Karzai likely to win Thursday's vote, but not with the outright majority required to avoid a second round. He is relying on the last-minute support of former guerrilla chieftains in a bid to tip the balance.
