PARTICULARLY since Kerry had the unmitigated gall to use Reagan to imply that Bush isn't fighting the WOT correctly.

Didn't Bush fail to reply at all to the line where Kerry, who supported the 1983 nuclear freeze, tried to link himself in Reagan's foreign policy mantle? There were many lost opportunities in this debate. Being blunt and decisive would have gotten him much further along, as I see it.

I was stunned. Kerry said Bush needed to fight the WOT like Kennedy and Reagan fought the Cold War. He himself opposed Reagan's initiatives that won the Cold War! It was one of those things that was so over the top that nobody could predict it. Jim Lehrer should have asked Kerry in follow-up to explain what his record in the Senate during the Cold War was and why that record makes him a good Presidential candidate now.

The nuclear freeze was not going to win the cold war and Kerry thinks he can win against the terrorists by freezing our development of tactical nuclear weapons. Why does Kerry think that by giving up our development of better nuclear weapons it will somehow encourage the terrorists and terrorist nations to no longer want any nuclear weapons?
