For anyone just a tad bit angry about how the right has conflated national security with a war in Iraq that is hurting our national security, send some love to VoteVets and their new ad: "Because of Iraq."

The ad features three veterans of the war in Iraq saying: "Because of Iraq, Osama bin Laden is still a threat.... Because of Iraq, our military is spread too thin.... Because of Iraq, there are more terrorists in the world." The ad closes with Gen. Wesley Clark sending a shout out against some of the right's recent ads.

This is just one of their great, strong security ads . Then after November 7, let's remember that we must still sit down and hammer out the difficult solution for what to do to salvage a functioning country for Iraqis, and a functioning military for America, out of the wreckage of current policies.
