The counter argument is so fucking easy. The commercials of fresh faced young men and women, in close up, speaking against the war, the camera pans back to show them in wheelchairs, with limbs missing, whatnot. The close shot of a woman, or a man (the more "heartland" in look, the better) and the camera pans back to reveal them sitting with a folded flag, or standing in front of a grave of a dead child. The young woman speaking against the war, and the camera pans back to show her holding an infant, with a photo of the dead father in uniform over her left shoulder. So many of these dead kids wrote letters home, saying, in effect that the war was fucked up. Those should be read to the camera, as well.

It's SO EASY. You hit them back with raw, resonating emotion.

These GOP kooks are totally nuts. This is not gonna fly for long. What were they thinking??? BIG MISTAKE...they've been trying to distract from the war, and now they are pulling this? Every single major incident that causes additonal deaths in Iraq is going to hit like a thud in the minds of the American population, and suggest that perhaps, despite all the carping, that those damn Democrats were RIGHT.

Major error in judgment on their part. MAJOR.
