The Parts of Iraq "Not Safe Enough" to Vote in January?

Well, those "little" sections Donny Rumsfeld talked about not being able to vote in January elections turn out to be the entire city of Baghdad (representing between 25-30% of the entire Iraq population) and two prominent Sunni communities (which may account for another 10-20% of the population). That's more than just a little problem, unless Bush has already told Allawi the election results so people showing up at the polls is an unnecessary step.

By that reasoning, it's fine if Texas, Florida, and Ohio don't get to vote in November. Sheesh.
