This is an interesting campaign move. Bush is going to talk about his handing off the Iraq war to the next president tonight, and John Edwards has bought two minutes of airtime to follow Bush:
The ad was taped at Edwards' home in Chapel Hill, N.C., in the style of an Oval Office address, with him sitting at a desk and speaking straight to the camera, with American flag in the background.
..."Tell Congress you know the truth," Edwards says. "They have the power to end this war and you expect them to use it. When the president asks for more money and more time, Congress needs to tell him he only gets one choice -- a firm timeline for withdrawal."
...In the ad, Edwards says Bush's refusal to end the war is another in a series of wrong moves, including the increase of troops in January and his veto in May of a plan to end the war.
"Now, after General Petraeus reports the surge has produced no progress toward a political solution, what does the president want? More time for the surge to work, when all of us know it won't," Edwards says.
The Republicans are in total denial about 2006, and if Democrats continue to make getting out of Iraq the issue of the '08 election, we will sweep out alot more Republicans in Congress.
