He said the Iraq was a mistake but he would compound the mistake by continuing to fight it"better." How, by getting support from the allies. Lehrer did not ask him WHICH ALLIES.
and Bush did not hammer him on the DeGaulle reference by saying that Kerry was fixated on French participation. even though no amount of prodding will make Chirac send troops into Iraq.
