I GAURUNTEE you that tommorow the mainstream media will all be singing the same tune:

"WAH!! Bush was mean to John Kerry. He snapped at him! He's so MEAN."

Yeah, those liberal media outlets are just soooo much.

Someone needs to remind Kerry that it's Americans that will be voting for or against him, not Iraqis.

Good Bush response, but he is so inept to use it effectively.

"How are you going to build allies when you are calling one of your allies of a puppet!"

Are we taking bets on whether we'll have a question that DOESN'T concern Iraq before this debate is over?

This debate is focused on the war on terror and general foreign policy.

Which is why he will win this debate. Kerry is making the mistake of not pounding the same message home. He should have latched on to the Bush Sr. quote and kept harping about that. Or the thing about the general who disagreed with Bush and was "retired." If you don't repeat it over and over again, people won't remember it.

You are absolutely 100% correct!

Seriously though, the vibe I'm getting from this is Bush has EVERYTHING riding on Iraq and we're going to look like idiots if things fall through.

Well Jim decides the questions and he had to keep it within the subject of foreign policy.

This is another half-assed answer from Bush. He's pretty much out of things to say I think.

Good of him to bring in Libya. I'm surprised it took that long.



VERY GOOD by Kerry. Picking up on Bush's "the enemy attacked us" was the correct thing to do there. Good work by Kerry.

Kerry's smirk is juvenile at best, sorry but when you don't agree with someone you don't have to smirk and laugh as if the other person is a total idiot.

Yeah Bush did it a few times but most of the time he's taking notes with a serious face at least.

Agreed. Nicely done. Got a weak and desperate reply from Bush too.

I'm surprised at how often you guys can laugh at repeated Bushisms. I mean it's not even that funny anymore, this debate is boring me. I don't like either candidate.

I gotta say, Kerry has slaughtered Bush over the last 10 minutes or so. I doubt it will halp him in the polls, but he has done very well in this part of the debate.

What did Kerry just say about Darfur?
That there is a genocide there and the world is more dangerous.


Bush has a good point right now, but his dazed and confused tone and expression are working against him. He seems completely flustered right now.

OMG! Bush just cited “unaccountable prosecutors and judges” as a mark against the ICC. WHAT THE FUCK ABOUT GUANTANAMO!?

Genocide.
No shit.

But what'd he say about it? I didn't catch what exactly he was stating about what's going on there and how it's relevant to all this Iraq/terrorism stuff that this debate is focused on.
