Good policy is based on truth, he says. Lehrer picks up it and asks when Bush lied? Kerry says, well, maybe not “lied,” but “less than candid.” Kerry’s a good debater, but catches like (approx) he said we’d plan carefully or go to war only as a last resort won;t carry his case.
Man, does Bush have a lock on those Kerry quotes!

Okay, let’s take bets now: How many times will Kerry bring up Vietnam?

Kerry slags the FBI for the untranslated tapes, but that’s disingenuous. The FBI has cleared nearly 700 new linguists since 9/11 and is now prioritizing incoming intelligence. Anything that is al Qaeda-related is translated within 12 hours, so the silver bullet Kerry says the FBI may be missing just isn’t true.

Bush seems to have been reading some very fine articles in a certain weekly magazine when he emphasizes that Kerry promises to lead ally countries he now insults.

“The best way to defend this homeland is to stay on the offense.” Great line.

Bush looks pretty peevish while Kerry’s speaking.

“When Iraq is free, America will be more secure.” Good one. Bush is speaking about as well and nailing his points as hard as he’s ever done.
Kerry’s phrasing is excellent; interesting lively details, like armament on humvees in Iraq. He’s also speaking not in the conditional, but in simple future tense: I will, I can–as if he’s alreayd got the job.

Let the record show that at 9:12 p.m., Kerry made his first Vietnam reference: “as someone who’s been in combat. . .”
