Brian Williams on MSNBC and some guys on CNN had a list of Kerry's lies, starting with the price tag for Iraq.

Also, I was not sure I heard it right at the time, but people are repeating it. Kerry said, he would give Iran nuclear material? NUCLEAR MATERIAL, ie fuel for its reactor that could be reprocessed? Wow that may be a Bush commercial right there.

Is that for real, Howlin? If I wasn't so darn tired, I'd tune in and watch for myself. :o)

I do think Bush was fatigued, and maybe that made it harder for him to disguise his irritation with Kerry's lies.

His Democratic opponent spoke as if only the rich got a tax cut under Bush, when in fact taxpayers in all income groups did.

The Democrat apparently misspoke when painting a dark picture of the chaos in Iraq today. He said of Iraq, "we got weapons of mass destruction crossing the border every single day, and they're blowing people up."He apparently meant terrorists, not weapons of mass destruction, were crossing the border.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6144991/ Kerry suggested that the United States has spent $200 billion on Iraq, largely because it supplied the bulk of the troops. This is an exaggeration, because it combines the amount already spent -- about $120 billion -- with money that is expected to be spent in the coming year or requested by the administration.

At another point, Kerry said "Secretary of State Colin Powell told this president the Pottery Barn rule: if you break it, you fix it." This anecdote comes from Bob Woodward's book, "Plan of Attack," but actually, Woodward reported that Powell privately talked with aides about the rule that if "you break it, you own it." He did not say this to the president -- and it turned out Pottery Barn does not have such a rule."
