I don't think this hurt Bush, but the Kerry campaign is trying mightily to tie Giuliani's comments to Bush. I don't think it's fair to blame the troops for such an incident. They just take orders from the brass, who, if these explosives were lost on their watch, should be blamed. As for Giuliani's comment, it was, frankly, very stupid of him to say such a thing. He made a good mayor for New York, but his mouth is going to really be a hinderance to his Presidential ambitions.
