It is not my role necessarily to give the United States advice about what it should do or should not do somewhere else, but I ask you, whatever you do, do not take your eyes off Afghanistan.
We will not see peace in Afghanistan. You will not see an end to the killing of your soldiers in Afghanistan.
The risks are that Afghanistan will go back into the hands of terrorists, into chaos, into despair. And we are not going to allow that.
The amount of fraud in these elections could easily delegitimize the Karzai government.
