Nice try but the election was considered to be generally free and fair by independent observors, or what passes for free and fair for a start in that part of the world.
An article from the New York Times posted on the web site of a Karzai opponent:

In fact, it appears to have been far more free and fair than the recent Ukraine election.
Your assertion that 15 of 16 candidates protested is true . . . . to a point. They later agreed to let an independent commission investigate and settle the matter. That was done and the result was validated to the satisfaction of all candidates.
