The ad to NUKE McCrampy's "Victory in Iraq" meme
I just watched the old shithead talk about "victory in Iraq" and mention Petraeus and how he is doing a great job. But perhaps the old shithead hasn't bothered to see what Patraeus said last September 11 in a BBC interview (the Brits are our allies, Johnny...):

"This is not the sort of struggle where you take a hill, plant the flag and go home to a victory parade... it's not war with a simple slogan."
Gen David Petraeus

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7610405.stm


Essentially, what Petraeus has stated is that using the term "victory" with the Iraq war is inappropriate, wrong and simplistic.

Inappropriate, wrong and simplistic. That's the McCain campaign.

Perhaps I'll do an ad for YouTube, but the Obama campaign should make sure this is mentioned all through the debates and on the campaign.
