I'm glad to hear him say this. Now it's Kerry's move. I doubt Kerry can move on though. If he can't, then I think it reflects poorly on his ability to lead and manage.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush on Saturday described John Kerry's tour of duty in Vietnam as more heroic than his own service in the Air National Guard, saying his Democratic rival had been "in harm's way."
But the president told NBC's "Today" show that both sides should drop the debate over their wartime service, saying, "I think that we ought to move beyond the past. ... The real question is who best to lead us forward."

That's an interesting point. I read a Kerry interview (last week?) where he stated that debating Bush was going to be tough. I thought that was an interesting confession. Actually, following the rules of debating and scoring, Kerry just lost a point before the debate even started!
However, I am looking forward to a debate(s). Neither candidate should be afraid to get up in front of the public and articulate their positions.

what i've heard is that, based upon however pundits score these things, bush is a good debater, and has won his last three debates (not individual debates, but rounds of debates before elections). go figure, the guy can barely form a complete sentence normally, but then that's when he's speaking extemporaneously. in a debate, it's give and take - after a fashion - which engages the brain differently.
