“As Chairman of the Bush-Cheney Veterans Coalition, and as a veteran, I call on John Kerry to demand that MoveOn.org take down their ad depicting a defeated American soldier.
It’s one thing to debate whether we should take the fight to the terrorists, but depicting an American soldier in effect surrendering in the battle against the terrorists is beyond the pale.
I cannot believe that John Kerry, who reminds us daily of his Vietnam service, would possibly approve the disgusting and demoralizing portrayal of American soldiers fighting for us in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.
John Kerry has raised doubts about our troops' ability to maintain security as well as Iraqi's ability to decide their own future through elections. He has called the allies in Iraq "window dressing." This is all reminiscent of his appearance before a Senate Committee in 1971 where he suggested with nothing but second hand information American GIs were committing atrocities and war crimes of the worst kind in Vietnam.
This defeatist attitude undermines the great progress and sacrifices of our men and women in the military and the contributions of our allies who are fighting against terror and standing up for freedom around the world.
The politics of pessimism that is being pursued by John Kerry and the extreme liberals demonstrates they are consumed by the past with nothing to offer but attacks on the President's agenda for creating a safer world.
John, say it isn’t so and denounce this latest effort to divide Americans.”

Yeah, I saw the ad. Your quoting the REPUBLICAN spin.
The commercial shows the soldier sinking in quicksand and holding his weapon above to keep it out of the quicksand, LIKE THE SOLDIERS ARE TRAINED TO DO........
The reference is that we're sinking in quicksand in re the war in Iraq, which of course, BUSH got us into. And the commercial is right, it will take a different president to solve the problems in Iraq, cause most of the rest of the world REFUSES to help Bush fix things there, due to their opinion that Bush is an ass.

So convenient is the spin. The picture was intended to infer that the US is failing in Iraq, when the exact opposite is true. Go U.S. Army.
Just like in Vietnam, militarily speaking, we were winning the war with one arm tied behind our backs. Now the left wants to put us in straight-jackets and then say, look were not winning, let's pull out.
Pre-ejaculation must be prevalent among the leftist organizations in this country.

Yes, but the only spin is the republican spin that says the commercial depicts the surrender of a soldier, which is simply not true.
U.S. Army.
