Moveon editing pics to show US soldiers surrendering (Drudge)

NEW MOVEON.ORG AD SHOWS U.S. SOLDIER IN 'SURRENDER' POSITION

NARRATOR: "George Bush misled us into war with Iraq, sending poorly equipped soldiers into battle. He said 'Mission Accomplished,' yet almost every day more soldiers die."

CHYRON: "Over 1,000 U.S. Soldiers Killed"

NARRATOR: "Going it alone, George Bush has spent $150 billion dollars, money we need for schools and health care."

CHYRON: "$150 Billion"

NARRATOR: "Now, facing a growing insurgency, he has no real plan to end the war. George Bush got us into this quagmire. It will take a new president to get us out. MoveOn PAC is responsible for the content of this advertisement."

CHYRON: "Quagmire;" MoveOn PAC Disclaimer
Funny how the shadow of the soldier shows nothing but torso and head, no arms. Trying to portray US soldiers this way tends to irk Americans.

We'll have to check with Dan Rather he's in charge of coordination of attack ads and programs.

#5  I think this is more likely a picture of a US soldier showing some captured people what to do. Although not real common, this posture is used to show enemy combatants what to do. Moveon is seriously distorting what is happening.

#3  If Kerry doesn't disavow these fools, and Mikey along with em, then the implosion of the Democratic Party will not be far off. Back to the pre-DLC McGovern era.
