   WASHINGTON, Feb. 15 - The Bush administration has begun suggesting that   
   Afghanistan's elections scheduled for June may have to be postponed because   
   of security problems and the failure to register enough voters.   
      
   Administration officials said in recent days that security conditions   
   remained dangerous or at least uncertain in a third of the country,   
   hampering registration so badly that only 8 percent of eligible Afghan   
   voters have been enrolled. Among women, only 2 percent have registered.
