VoteVets.org Running ANTI-CASTLE ads
I’m not so narcissistic to think that my banging the drum about Castle’s constant votes in favor of Bush’s open ended war is getting attention – but I have to say that news like this gives me the feeling that the cavalry is finally arriving.
The more people pointing out Castle’s voting record and highlight his lies and obfuscations on Iraq – the merrier.
“Now he’s facing political pressure because of his vote, including cable-TV ads that will begin airing today in Philadelphia and Delaware. The ads from VoteVets.org will feature retired Army Maj. Gens. John Batiste and Paul Eaton, former commanders in Iraq.
“We’re hoping that running an ad in his district will help educate him that commanders on the ground don’t always support the president,” said Jon Soltz, Iraq War veteran and chairman of VoteVets.org.”
The US military is a primary victim of the Castle/Bush approach to endless war, but recently the VoteVet.org Ads have been a devastating counter-punch.
Here is a collection of past ads that might give you an idea of what Castle is in store for.
Here is the link to the News Journal story. (LINK)I love this last line, “Castle said. “There are a lot of people who feel the war should be brought to an end … regardless of what the consequences may be.”
As if the “consequences” of staying are good. Maybe the Iraqi’s will greet us with flowers after all?
And of course you gotta love the headline:
“Castle, colleagues seek status report on Iraq”
The real story of course is the emergence of organized opposition to Castle and the end of Castle’s immunity to criticism. But the News Journal will never print that.
“Maybe the Iraqi’s will greet us with flowers after all?”
According to the troops many already have been….
Flowers and bombs. I’d call that mixed results.
No, the troops get greeted with flowers in Dover.
