This is a great ad--my only criticism, and maybe it's not such a big deal...is that I don't think it sounds strong enough to say that the NIE report said that the "Iraq war has not made us safer"--I think it would be more effective to say "According to the NIE report, the war in Iraq has undermined our national security" or "According the the NIE report, the war in Iraq has increased the threat of global terrorism".
merely saying that it hasn't made us safer could imply that our level of safety has not changed...when we should be saying that the war has actually lowered our level of safety.
I dunno...maybe, I'm splitting hairs and being too picky about the language.
I still think the ad is effective, though. "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."--James Madison
