the Global Islamic Movement said the movement signed up at least 4,000 new volunteers.>>>>

And still a hazard even if only 40 would light the fuse when it comes time to blow themselves up.

More if they were doped to the gills, as it is said the Iraqis in Fallugha were.

For training new recruits, perhaps they have classes where an instructor blows himself up to show them how easy it is.

Certainly are some weirdos out there.

The Election's Over; Bush Won
The Miami Herald counted ballots in three Florida counties, and discovered (surprise!) that Bush really did win by a large margin in traditionally Democratic areas: No flaw is found in Bush’s state win. (Hat tip: Bubbaman.)

LAKE BUTLER - Since George W. Bush captured Florida and the White House again, critics have fixed their sights on northern pockets of the Sunshine State and asked: How did the Republicans win so heavily in counties stocked with Democrats?

Some wondered whether Florida’s tally was corrupt, with one Internet site writing: “George W. Bush’s vote tallies, especially in the key state of Florida, are so statistically stunning that they border on the unbelievable.”

Last week, The Herald went to see for itself whether Bush’s steamroll through North Florida was legitimate. Picking three counties that fit the conspiracy theory profile — staunchly Democratic by registration, whoppingly GOP by voting — two reporters counted more than 17,000 ballots over three days.

The conclusion: No conspiracy.

The newspaper’s count of optical scan ballots in Suwannee, Lafayette and Union counties showed Bush whipping Sen. John Kerry in a swath of Florida where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-1.
