1) IIRC, it was "Under my opponent, we would not have invaded Iraq, Saddam would still be in power, and the world would be a _safer_ place today." (Unsure about the Saddam bit, as he said this once before during the debate, so I may be taking that from earlier. My full pardons if that is the case.) Key word difference: "safer", not "better". Which brings me to my next point.
2) It was wholly and completely sarcastic. Evidently you missed that, but, then, you also missed how much Bush CLOBBERED Kerry in this debate. *shrugs* To each their own, ostricization and all that.
From what I saw it was pretty even. Also, I didn't hear any sarcasm in the tone. Maybe it's the accent. (which is meant in a half sarcastic way).
Bush did do way better than the first one, but he also did really bad on average with people in the firsty one, so it adds up to him being even.
