What was Afghanistan's turnout?
That was heralded, even in the press, as a great success.
If it is comparable to this turnout, it shows the hypocrisy of the press.
FYI, AFGHANISTAN'S TURNOUT.....IN A MUCH LESS HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT:
"Despite violence leading up the election in Afghanistan, more than 70 percent of those eligible voted there."
TURNOUT IS COMPARABLE TO Afghanistan (there were no exact numbers placed, only estimates for Afghanistan it appears)...from 70-80 percent there. This is a HUGE victory for 72 percent to occur in Iraq, a country filled with much more violence than Afghanistan.
Huge.
Iraq's elections were a resounding success.
