Just saw on CNN the GOP ad that is supposed to scare Americans in to voting for them. The ad features major terrorists who attacked America and still threaten us today because George Bush has failed as our commander in chief:
Nonetheless, the new RNC ad shows video of bin Laden and his chief deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, threatening the United States with phrases such as ``kill the Americans" and saying that attacks so far are ``nothing compared to what you will see next."
Bin Laden and his chief deputy mock Bush. They can still threaten us because of Bush's failure to get them. Bush got distracted from our real enemies when he opted for the war in Iraq instead. Bush pulled US troops out of Afghanistan that were needed to find Bin Laden right when Bin Laden was in our grasp. Last year, Bush even dismantled the CIA unit in charge of finding Bin Laden. And he wonders why we can't find him? We aren't even trying anymore.
The Iraq war hasn't only taken our eye off the ball, it has strengthened the terrorists, as the National Intelligence Estimate showed. The GOP is now, laughably, advertising their failure on both terror and Iraq.
The ad is a minute long and a lot of words flash on the screen, but none are spoken. That is, no words until the voice of Ken Mehlman says the Republican Party paid for the ad. That's the scariest thing about the ad. The GOP needs fear to win, but at this point, all they're doing is exposing their incompetence on national security.
