elect this
"Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi acknowledged for the first time on Tuesday that "pockets" of Iraq would be too dangerous for casting ballots but insisted such areas would be limited in number."
How can it be called a national election if the whole country doesn't get to vote?
"The United States has cautioned that guerrilla action in four of 18 Iraqi provinces could disrupt voting in Iraq. . . "
Okay, four out of eighteen. . . let's do some quick math. . . carry the two. . . good. . . alright. Eleven.
Next time we have an election let's not vote in eleven states. Which states? Well I suggest we start with Florida and Ohio since those people have given us trouble the past couple times around.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan acknowledged the elections would probably have some problems but said they should go forward as planned.
"We want to make sure that we have the best possible Iraq election. We want to make sure that there is as broad participation as possible in those elections. I think we all recognize that the election is not going to be perfect," he told reporters.
An election that's not going to be perfect, where large percentages of the people don't or won't be allowed to vote?
Sounds alright to me. Just like the elections in this country.
