Anyone think the GOP are behind Afghan rejection of Bilateral Security Agreement?
I was just watching Rachel Maddow, and she said that Kharzai's rejection after calling a Jhurga was unexpected. It made me think of Reagan's "October Surprise" (Reagan asking Iranians to continue holding the US hostages until after the election) as well as Richard Nixon sabotaged 1968 Vietnam Peace Talks by telling the South Vietnamese President that Nixon would get better terms from North Vietnam).
I have no proof of course, just an idle thought.
