BUSH AND KERRY AGREE: THE BORDERS MUST BE PROTECTED! | 2004-09-30

Near the beginning of the presidential debates, I heard words that shocked me so much that I almost woke up.

Senator Kerry said "the border must be protected." Bush agreed with him absolutely and raised him one. He replied, "The borders must be CLOSED."

Surely I wasa dreaming. They COULDN'T have said what I thought they said.

Well, they weren't. They were talking about IRAQ's borders.
