Would the Taliban be willing to back Sayyaf over disturbing the election?
Sayyaf was an uneasy member of the Northern Alliance since the Taliban first rose to power, and has been a fairly influential member of parliament since the invasion. Guess.
So he's a pretty damn Conservative Pashto. Big deal. So he's an old warlord. Major count against him in the Taliban's book - he's one of the very people they originally arose to destroy.
His name is Obama, and yes he does, more or less, and yes he will if it turns out to be necessary, of course. Just like he did last time.
