A moving anti Iraq War ad

In a post last month, I quoted the psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton on how antiwar Vietnam veterans like John Kerry "invoked the authority of the dead to oppose rather than perpetuate the war."

This ad from Win Back Respect, called "He Just Doesn't Get It," is an excellent example of that in today's context.

It also emphasizes once again how important presidential credibility is in issues of war and peace.

I saw that ad earlier.  If they could get it saturated on the air in the swing states, it could have quite an impact.
