[Music] Male Announcer: George Bush's ad says he's being attacked for attacking the terrorists. 

No Mr. President, America's united against terror.

The problem is you declared "mission accomplished" but had no plan to win the peace, and handed out billions in contracts to contributors like Halliburton.

John Kerry: I'm John Kerry and I approved this message because we can't go it alone in Iraq.  We have to share the burden with other countries. 

We shouldn't be cutting education and closing firehouses in America while we're opening them in Iraq.

Bridge of aircraft carrier with "Mission Accomplished" banner.  4. Clip of Bush in flight suit on deck of the aircraft carrier and text "But you had no plan to win peace"  5.
