The Tragic Events Of 9/10. Bush during the debate: "That's kind of a pre-September 10th mentality, the hope that somehow resolutions and failed inspections would make this world a more peaceful place." ... Actually, I'm giving Bush the benefit of the doubt. I believe he simply misspoke and that he knows America was attacked on September 11 ("Of course, I know we were attacked on 9/11. I know that!")

Still, can you hear the commercial if that mistake had come from the other guy? "John Kerry -- How can he protect America if he can't remember when we were attacked?"
