On Tuesday evening, following the debate on FOX News, we'll be airing our ad with General Batiste, targeting Senator John McCain.
Why Senator McCain? No one in the Senate has been as vociferous a defender of the President's failed strategy in Iraq as Senator McCain. For whatever the reason, the wheels seem to have come off the 'Straight-Talk Express.' From bizarrely maintaining that an American can stroll through Baghdad unprotected to dangerously advocating more of the same, this isn't the same Senator McCain that people so respected years ago.
We're trying to give him a dose of reality - those who were commanders on the ground are saying we need to change course, so we can maintain a strong military and defend America. By putting those voices in front of his face, and in front of an audience he cares about, maybe he'll finally begin to put America's security above politics. He has a chance to rise to the occasion and be a true leader, if he wants to. It's time for Senator McCain to take off the blinders, and pay heed to the words of those who were commanders on the ground in Iraq. Help us keep it up.
