This will be a short diary, especially given that I usually have trouble keeping mine down to a reasonable length. But I mostly wanted to get this MoveOn ad out there, and hope that some friendly frontpager puts this ad up in the higher end real estate.

Though I called it an anti-McCain ad, it really is a condemnation of everyone who has kept the Iraq disaster going -- from Donald Rumsfeld (remember him?) to Tom Friedman, inventor of the infamous "Friedman Unit" (a phrase I hear the Mustached One despises).

The ad is directly below the break:

Thankfully, the ad begins and END with McCain, showing that he is prepared to keep moving the goalpost with the same exact b.s. that's been spouted by him, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Lindsay Graham, and the entire Republican party for years now. Victory is always just around the corner, if we (American soldiers made to go back for tour after tour, that is) just tough it out a little while longer, despite the American and Iraqi lives being blown apart.

One feature of the ad I didn't notice at first are the tickers of money and lives wasted, on the left and right respectively, which keep going up as McCain, Bush, and company keep trotting out the same boilerplate "crucial time for victory" blather.

It's necessarily a short ad, and that's a good thing. Tragically, it could have included dozens or hundreds more instances of Republicans and their media allies telling us that all will be sorted out in Iraq soon. Like, six months, for instance.

Please spread this ad far and wide.

P.S. Oh, and in honor of the "Friedman Unit," remember, we went over to Iraq for one reason only: we had to tell SOME Arab-types, SOMEWHERE to "SUCK ON THIS:" (Mr. Flat World really gets going around 2:00.)
