Bush Insists: Mission Accomplished

When asked by Fox News if knowing what he knows now about the situation in Iraq he would still give his speech from May 1st, 2003, the incumbent replied, "Absolutely."

Kerry on the other hand, continuing his election campaign in Wisconsin, described Bush’s answer as "unbelievable".

Prominent Democratic senator Ted Kennedy meanwhile said that Bush’s wrong policies in the fight against terrorism made the possibility of a nuclear attack on the US more likely. Kennedy characterized Iraq as "Bush’s Vietnam".
