Wait, Bush said 10million folks registered to vote in Afghanistan...
...and it turns out there isn't even 10million people in Afghanistan who are qualified to vote

:crazy:

Geez, does he have Diebold & Katherine Harris running the election over there.

1. Yeah, that's a known problem
Apparently they're using classic Chicago electoral rules.

And maybe it's a good thing if dead people can vote, since we're so busy creating more of them.

2. They are all going to vote for Allawi the mercenary killer by remote
from Kabul.The electronic voting machines are handy that way. When Hamid Karzai needs votes, the process can also be reversed.

3. I wonder if the media will jump all over that.
Probably not.

4. what he clearly meant
was that ten millionaires are registered to vote in Afghanistan. It's a new form of democracy being advocated by republicans, based upon Florida in the 2000 election. Those ten millionaires love freedom.
