President Bush, this morning:
Millions of Iraqi voters will show their bravery, their love of country, and their desire to live in freedom.
Then later:
I know thousands and thousands of Iraqis want to vote. I know they cherish the idea of being able to vote, and I hope as many Iraqis vote as possible.
Wow. “Millions” to “thousands” of voters in just a few hours. By the end of the week we’ll be hearing how remarkable it is merely for someone to set out the ballot box.
