Kerry: President made a "catastrophic mistake" going into Iraq.
It's "gut check time".
He says he visted kids with no limbs today.
Bush: He complains the troops don't have the equipment but he voted against the funding. He uttered one of the most astounding quotes in political history and cites the $87 billion.
Kerry says he made a mistake in the way he stated that but the president made a mistake in going in. Richest shoudl pay.
Closing statements. Kerry goes first then Bush (confusion? I think it best Bush goes last--gets the last word)
you do know, don't you, that that is the very favorite phrase of . . . dan rather.
