WASHINGTON President Barack Obama greeted Hamid Karzais election victory with as much admonishment as praise on Monday, pointedly advising Americas partner in war he must make more serious efforts to end corruption in Afghanistans government and prepare his nation to ultimately defend itself. "I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter," Obama said in describing his phone call to the Afghan president. When Karzai offered back assurances, Obama said he told him that "the proof is not going to be in words. Its going to be in deeds." Obamas message of stern solidarity came as he considers sending tens of thousands more U.S. troops into the war zone in Karzais country. Karzai won a second term Monday when competitor Abdullah Abdullah pulled out of the Nov. 7 runoff, suggesting it would be doomed by fraud just as the first voting in August was. The handling of the first election cost Karzai in international credibility.
