Date An Time Conversion Problem

Well here is the problem iam trying to evaluate a expresion and return a string but when i run my code it always return where my expresion is false where it should return true. here is my code.

BEGIN
DECLARE @datefin_flag char(13), @strip datetime
select @strip = getdate()
--select convert(char(10),@strip,120)
select @datefin_flag = dateend FROM mattstest WHERE convert(char(10),datebegin,120) <= convert(char(10),@strip,120) and convert(char(10),dateend,120) >= convert(char(10),@strip,120)
--select @datefin_flag
--UPDATE dateflagevent SET flagevent = getdate() FROM dateflagevent
IF (@datefin_flag = @strip)
BEGIN
print 'Run'
END
ELSE
print 'You cant run this'
END


Now here is the my table data:

datebegin datefin
------------------------ ------------------------
2004-12-25 00:00:00.0002005-01-25 00:00:00.000
2004-11-25 00:00:00.0002004-12-24 00:00:00.000
2005-02-25 00:00:00.0002005-03-25 00:00:00.000

I think that the problem is the date and time they are the same but not in the right format its like saying 2004-01-25 is equal to janv 25 2005 how do i correct this.
