It will never get mentioned in the media
It hasn't. What I'm surprised about is that President Bush isn't using this little jewel to beat Kerry over the head with. One of the most pointed flip-flopping contradictions of the debates has gone completely unnoticed. Way to go Karl Rove.
When Kerry in a later debate chides Bush with a comment about "letting" Iran develop this technology, trying to implicate an intelligence failure of the current administration, why was his position in the earlier debate not thrown back in his face, a far more dangerous one by all accounts. People did pay attention, unfortunately Bush let Kerry have the last word on the subject.
