Did he really say that?

CNN rebroadcast the debate this morning so that those of us in Europe didn't have to stay up all night to watch it. Here's my favorite quote from Bush.

"You know, it's hard work to try to love her as best as I can, knowing full well that the decision I made caused her loved one to be in harm's way."

I read that quote earlier this morning on Wonkette and thought it was a joke because I couldn't imagine the context in which you would ever hear such a thing in a Presidential debate. But I just got done watching the debate and he actually said it.
