State Dept. Withholds Comment Whether Egyptian Vote Might Be Flawed

http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGB1MJ5HDDE.html

WASHINGTON (AP) - The State Department said Thursday it's too early to comment on whether irregularities in Egypt's first multicandidate election were sufficiently serious to invalidate the results.

"We haven't done a full analysis of the election day and the election process," spokesman Sean McCormack said.

"We will wait to see the final outcome of the election when all the votes are tallied. And then, I think, we'll have some more comments concerning the election."

McCormack's comment was in response to a reporter asking whether anything had happened during Wednesday's voting "that you think would make those results not valid."

5. One great illustration of how BushCo brings 'democracy' to the ME

And see how democratic they are in Saudi Arabia? in Florida? In Ohio?

Bunch of BushSpin.

7. They are not sure if the election was flawed

They have to think about this, and figure out which claim is more to the neo-con's advantage.
