Just saw a great ad on MSNBC supporting alternative energy and troops blasting big oil link to war.

Hope they keep that up.

1. I heard that last night

(didn't see it, cooking dinner) and did a double take. There are actually a number of interesting messages in there..

2. Except the lie about the EFPs.

That lie being that they are from Iran.

More of the bomb bomb bomb Iran daily grind masquerading as pro troop.

Drill Baby Drill!

3. They did not say that. Said going TO Iran. Drill baby my ass.

6. The ads say that Iran is responsible for IEDs, a charge that has not been sustained

This is pro-war disinformation like 2003, all over again.

8. No, it's anti-war, the tide has turned.

If this is the ad I think it is.
See my post #7 below.
(my computer is acting up right now so don't expect a response soon).

4. This is extremely interesting. K&R

I wonder who is running these? Or if it's up on the Web? YouTube?

Support troops, support alt energy, blast big oil, but incite against Iran? Curiouser and curiouser.

5. I looked, but print was too small on my disposable TV.

Vast majority of war veterans favour renewable energy

Clean energy: It’s not just for wussies and hippies anymore By Greenbang on Wednesday, 7th April 2010 If going green and promoting renewable energy is such a wussy, hippy thing to do, how come the vast majority of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans want the US to adopt Clean Energy Climate Change legislation? Clearly, time spent in the petroleum- and conflict-rich Middle East makes a difference in one’s clean-energy mindset.

A new poll conducted for VoteVets.org, an organisation of recent veterans that aims to be “the voice of the 21st century patriot,” finds that 73 per cent of veterans from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan want the US Congress to pass a new law in favour of fighting climate change and shifting to clean energy sources. A full 67 per cent also believe such legislation would help their own economic prospects…

…Upon releasing the poll results, VoteVets.org also announced that it will run a new series of television and internet ads that frame energy reform as an issue of national security. The ads are co-sponsored with Operation Free, another veterans organisation that is calling for a shift to clean energy for both security and climate reasons.
