Afghan President Hamid Karzai offered Saturday to end a political standoff and move up the inauguration of parliament after hours of heated debate among the country's lawmakers, officials said.
Karzai initially had postponed the ceremony by a month, but appeared to concede to demands Saturday and offered to inaugurate parliament on Wednesday.
However, the inauguration will take place only under the condition that lawmakers accept any decision of a special court established in December at Karzai's request to look into hundreds of allegations of fraud brought forward by losing candidates, parliament member Baktash Seyawash said.
Lawmakers will vote Saturday night on whether to accept Karzai's offer.

I like the smell of Raid.
I know you do, Cesar. I read that in another thread.
Raid. Kills. Bugs. Dead!
Good thing you're not a bug, my friend...I like having you around! 😉
@banasy: Nice to hear from you. I guess it is safe to say that Karzai and his folks will party with U.S. dollars.
Da Bears!
@Cesar:
I would say you are correct!
DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!
And we'll repeat '85!!!
Da Bears RULE!!! 🙂
Does any of this really make a difference? In any case,NATO will be in control of things over there and make no mstake about it!!!
@Daniel: NATO is impotent, just like you.
Did you say that NATO is impotent,Cesar? There are tens of thousands of dead bodies that say otherwise!
LisaMartin23: Where are you? I need auto insurance.
Oh, Jim? If memory serves me right, they couldn't inspect Iraq's nuclear ambitions as well as Iran's. You know darn well, Jim, that if any country wants to ignore NATO, they will. By the way, I think some idiot is posting with your name. I can tell a fake when I see one.
No Cesar,he's just a lonely old man seeking attention. Just ignore him if you can.
That's what I though!
