The Bush campaign is upset with an ad from MoveOn, Political Group's Antiwar Ad Draws Ire of the Bush Campaign

Bush campaign officials on Thursday sharply criticized a television commercial attacking the president's policy on Iraq that shows an American soldier sinking chest-deep into desert sand as he tries to keep his rifle above his head.

The reaction of the Bush campaign was to insist that the Kerry campaign should appologize for the ad.

"He should apologize for the actions of his surrogates and demand that they take down their ad depicting a defeated American soldier", Marc Racicot, chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaign, said.

Former Senator Bob Dole, chairman of the Bush campaign's veterans coalition, went farther, saying, "It's one thing to debate whether we should take the fight to the terrorists, but depicting an American soldier in effect surrendering in the battle against the terrorists is beyond the pale."

Ya right! like you guys appologized for the Swift Boat Liar ads.

MoveOn says the ad does not depict a defeated soldier.

Officials at MoveOn said the advertisement was not intended to depict a soldier as defeated or surrendering. Rather, they said it was intended to call attention to the situation in Iraq and to criticize the administration's policy. "Clearly, things in Iraq are heading in a very bad direction,'' said Eli Pariser, executive director of the MoveOn PAC. "It is irresponsible for the president to keep whitewashing the situation. People are dying there. That was our purpose, to call him out on that."

There seems to be an abundance of people who now see Iraq as a sandy quagmire. The only question remaining is who will be the last American to die in Iraq
