Presidential Debate: What Bush Will Say

The Center for American Progress predicts with what arguments President Bush will defend his record - and debunks the spin with facts. An exemple:
"Because of the war in Iraq, Americans and the world are safer."
- Fact: America is less safe because of the war in Iraq: for a fraction of the $150 billion America has spent in Iraq, we could have secured vulnerable ports, railways and airports from terrorist attack.
- Fact: U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan publicly disagreed with Bush in July, saying, "No, I cannot say the world is safer today than it was two, three years ago."
- Fact: The world is less safe because of the war in Iraq: The occupation of Iraq has helped al Qaeda recruit more members, and turned Iraq into a "dynamic new battle ground" for al Qaeda.
