James Carville Joins The Afghan Campaign Trail
Some interesting lines:
Carville's goal is to try and force the presidential election into a second round. That will happen if no candidate gets a majority of the votes cast on Aug. 20.
-snip-
Ghani is equally driven. He and Carville met in Washington this spring through mutual friends. Carville won't say whether he's being paid to advise Ghani, but the candidate claims Carville is volunteering his time. It's clear, however, that the challenge is part of the deal's attraction.
Now the present Adminstration will of course deny that they had anything to do with Carville going off to Afghanistan volunteering his time (snigger, snigger). However, is there anyone who doubt that if the WH had objected to Carville's association with Ghani they would have been able to get him to resign that mission. I mean who is the SoS?
Thanks
