The only problem here is this think tank is well-connected to several big-name neoconservatives, and it centers around the widely-used Republican "cut and run"talking point.
And to top that off, the ad is only being run in battleground states crucial to the Republicans' control of Congress, including: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Missouri, Virginia, and Vermont.
The final on-screen graphic tells residents of those states to "vote as if your life depends on it. Because it does."
Goodbye, decency! Hello, swiftboat attack ads version 2.0!
Another well-crafted attack ad that is trying to indirectly paint the Democrats as being weak on national security, and that if the voters vote for the status quo and keep the Republicans in Congress, the nation will be safer.
Of course, there is no mention of high gas prices, felony indictments, or even high level political scandals (a.k.a. the Duke Cunningham variety).
The above mentioned are the truth, and these ads won't be caught giving the voting public even an ounce of truth to chew for themselves.
Transcript:
Since 9/11, most Americans know the world is a dangerous place.
Islamic terrorists hate us for who we are and what we stand for.
Some people seem to think, however, that if we retreat our terrorist enemies will leave us alone.
They say we should close Guantanamo, where captured foes are kept from waging war against us.
They say we should get out of Iraq, where democracy is just getting a foothold.
They seem to think we'll be safer if we cut-and-run.
But our enemies will see this as proof of our weakness.
They'll be more convinced than ever that murdering Americans advances their cause, and they'll try to do so again here at home.
They next time someone suggests America should cut-and-run from the war on terror, ask them, "run to where?"
