A new Web advertisement produced by the Democratic National Committee mocks the Bush Administration's "stay the course" strategy in Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
The ad was released "in anticipation of President Bush's news conference this morning," according to a DNC press release.
"For some time, Republicans in Washington have clung desperately to the President’s failed rhetoric," the press release states. "Now, two weeks before Election Day, the Bush Administration has attempted to change their tune, but still refuses to come up with a new plan for success."
The advertisment shows President Bush, Vice President Cheney and White House Spokesman Tony Snow repeating the "stay the course" mantra, interspersed with newspaper headlines about the number of US troop casualties in Iraq and the NIE report which stated that in many ways Iraq is less safe since the occupation.
"The American people are ready for a new strategy in Iraq, not just a new set of talking points that continues to sell President Bush’s failed policies on Iraq," said Democratic National Committee Press Secretary Stacie Paxton. "Democrats are offering the American people a new direction with a strategy for victory in Iraq that includes a phased redeployment of our troops to better fight the war on terror."
