LEHRER:  New question, Mr. President, two minutes.  You have said there was a, quote, “miscalculation,” of what the conditions would be in post-war Iraq.  What was the miscalculation, and how did it happen?

BUSH:  No, what I said was that, because we achieved such a rapid victory, more of the Saddam loyalists were around.  I mean, we thought we‘d whip more of them going in. 

But because Tommy Franks did such a great job in planning the operation, we moved rapidly, and a lot of the Baathists and Saddam loyalists laid down their arms and disappeared.  I thought they would stay and fight, but they didn‘t. 

And now we‘re fighting them now.  And it‘s hard work.  I understand how hard it is.  I get the casualty reports every day. I see on the TV screens how hard it is.

Agreed. Kerry not only revived his campaign, but I think he got into the minds of 4 out 5 true undecided voters. If you are truly an undecided voter, you are not going to vote for Bush based on that monkey impersonation yesterday (Bush really surprised me).

Now, Kerry needs to bring it on as aggressively to Bush as he did in the 1st debate on three levels:

1) 2nd and 3rd debates
2) political ads
3) Stump speeches

If he continues to be very aggressive, and on the attack, Kerry will win the election. IMO
