Yes. But other than cast a wary eye at the alleged perpetrators, I'm not sure anything will come of it.
I can not remember anything else that he said about the questions other that he ALONE made up the questions.
YES - I heard Susan make that remark. It got my attention because she seemed so emphatic when she said it.

"Kerry made an early comment during the debate which clearly indicates he got the questions ahead of time. Kerry said something to the effect of "we'll get to homeland security in a later question" in a way which indicated it was coming up with certainty. In addition, it is clear that Kerry has a specific answer for every question. Considering he has not answered ANY question with specificity for TWO YEARS, he could not have had all those specific details for every question without foreknowledge of the questions for which he would need answers."
. . .yes; it would have been nice to see the mountain blown up. . .but that probably would not have impacted Osama or our going ultimately into Iraq. . .
. . .fact is; they did not know for certain where he was; how/why would we commit troops/manpower/MONEY to blow up a mountain; not knowing for certain. . .that Osama was there; speculating as well that he well may have escaped by underground tunnels; or that we could not say that he was NOT - by any chance - in a hospice in Pakistan. . .
The terrain in Afghanistan is supposedly some of the most difficult in the world; we needed the Afghans who know the territory; and who can negotiate it more readily than Americans. That said the size alone;the scope of the area; the unforgiving environment all lends me to believe that we made the 'right' decision.
Short of a temporary PR coup; what difference would it have made to have Osamma's head on a stick - so to speak? Dead; disabled or imprisoned; it would have been a short PR victory. The same people who decry our not finding him; are the same who would have debunked the impact of his capture as a waste of money; given that he had so many at the 'ready' to replace him and continue the 'Ossama plan'. . . Personally think he has been dead for a while; but so what?
Iraq was the money center for terrorism and we have only to look at the 'food for oil' program to know that Kofi and company were not about to change that; we were spitting in the wind; and they were playing games of 'hunt for WMD's. . .and packing their pockets with millions of dollars.
To repeat a variation of the most oft heard criticism . . ."If we knew then; what we know now; about the U.N. folks and 'friends'; enriching themselves by Saddam's oil deals - we would have been left with the same decision. . .and obviously without their approval. WHAT A JOKE!
They were not about to give up their second incomes; they were playing us for the 'fool'. . .and laughing their way to the secret bank accounts.
Their choices were/are beyond criminal; the human toll almost not calculable. . .including all those innocent; and our soldiers being killed as we speak. . .
Re Ossama; Ossamma; Osamma. . .et al. . .make that Osama. . .fingers flying oer the keys. . .
It's not that simple? If Jim Lehrer winked at Kerry, then that means that His "Questions" favored Mr. Kerry. If His questions favored Kerry, then that means that Kerry "looked" more prepared then President Bush. Not very fair on Lehrer's part. Am I right anyone?
