MoveOn.org a national anti-war and liberal advocacy group is launching a media blitz criticizing Arizona Sen. John McCain for his support in sending more U.S. troops to Iraq. MoveOn will be airing television commercials in Iowa and New Hampshire, the 2 Presidential battleground states. McCain has been advocating for the past year or so that troop levels in Iraq were to low to begin with and that the only way to end this war is to send more troops. He has continued this by supporting the Presidents announcement last week to increase troop levels. The only way to look at this is that if the American people see success in Iraq, John McCain will be our next President. If the population does not witness any change in Iraq the Republican will have committed political suicide. I feel as if the surge in U.S. forces was our only option, anyone who says we should "just bring our boys home," is ignorant to the fact that if we leave Iraq in the state it is now we will never be safe from terrorism at home again. We may have gone in for the wrong reasons however now we must reach some level of success. McCain spokesman Danny Diaz said "MoveOn.Org is an out-of-the-mainstream organization that has a long history of airing inflammatory material, even comparing the president to Hitler," He continued, "It is not surprising that a liberal group opposed to military action after Sept. 11th would attack Sen. McCain's conservative values, as well as changing strategy and securing victory in Iraq."
