Yahoo! News - Bush, Kerry Spar on Iraq in Combative Debate
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (Reuters) - President Bush and Democratic rival John Kerry battled over Iraq in a fierce debate on Thursday, with an aggressive Kerry accusing the president of "a colossal error of judgment" and Bush doubting Kerry's ability to lead America in dangerous times.

"This president has made, I regret to say, a colossal error of judgment, and judgment is what we look for in the president of the United States," Kerry said, arguing Bush rushed to war without enough allied support or adequate planning for the peace.

Both camps quickly claimed victory, and a snap CNN poll of viewers gave a slight edge to Kerry, 53 percent to 47 percent.

So glad I fell asleep.
