I see it about 5 or 6 times a day. The ad for John McCain I've seen only twice. There is also an ad run for a 527 group against McCain. It's a very powerful ad. A young mother holding a baby boy. Tells McCain he can't have him for his 100 year war.

In fact, on the recent anniversary of 9/11, the President declared that "the world is safer because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power."<br /><br />Now we have clear evidence -- the unanimous opinion of every agency in the U.S. intelligence community -- that this simply isn't true. Earlier this week, we learned that a National Intelligence Estimate in April makes the case, in no uncertain terms, that the war in Iraq has increased the global threat of terror, and that the "Iraq conflict has become the 'cause celebre' for jihadists."<br /><br />We can't trust the White House to tell the truth about this report. They've only grudgingly released selected segments. It's up to each of us to sound the alarm about the damage that the President's folly has done to our national security.<br /><br />The National Intelligence Estimate provides clear evidence to make our case, and we've put together a fact sheet that compares its analysis with the rhetoric of the White House. Use it to make sure everyone you know learns about this breathtaking and sobering report, particularly undecided voters or Republican voters:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tedkennedy.com/page/m/vhqebir27yc/1XMW33">http://www.tedkennedy.com/NIE</a><br /><br />There's never been a more important time to raise awareness about our weakened national security. We have just 40 days left before the election.<br /><br />Yesterday, I sent a rallying call to every supporter of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and our campaign has given them an additional $1,000,000 to get our message out and help with get-out-the-vote efforts to elect a Democratic majority in the Senate on November 7th.<br /><br />We need to make sure that every American understands the true impact of this tragic and misguided war, and the National Intelligence Estimate provides an opportunity to do just that.<br /><br />According to the Estimate, U.S. intelligence concluded in April that the war in Iraq is a recruitment tool for a new generation of extremists. The White House, in its defense, insisted that "the characterization of the NIE is not representative of the complete document."<br /><br />So, under public pressure for the truth, the President agreed on Tuesday to release the classified report -- but not the entire document. You can read the public portion of the report, review news articles on the entire document, and spread the word here:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tedkennedy.com/page/m/vhqebir27yc/1XMW33">http://www.tedkennedy.com/NIE</a><br /><br />Last week, I talked to you about the promise of the Internet for our democracy. This is exactly the time to seize that potential and spread the word far and wide.<br /><br />President Bush needs to come clean with all Americans and honestly address the weakened position his Iraqi debacle has left our nation in. Above all, we need a Democratic Congress that will hold him accountable for his misguided policy.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><img src="http://www.tedkennedy.com/page/-/EMK_signature.gif"/><br /><br />Senator Edward M.

Those who order and sanction torture, but leave the dirty work to others, are an order of magnitude more culpable morally. (A special place is reserved for the lawyers who give legal cover for such orders.) In their fear and their weakness and their smallness, the President and those around him stepped over the line. To do so in the heated days after 9/11 is understandable to a point, though not justifiable.

Rumors are that they should keep falling until hitting around two bucks a gallon say near thanksgiving time. Hmm, isn't there a mid-term election just before thanksgiving this year? Could it be possible that the GOP called in some markers from big oil to help out, quietly. You know big oil owes the GOP a lot. With lower fuel prices, the economy should began to recover. And by lowering gas prices now, people will began to have more money to spend, for say Christmas gifts the day after thanksgiving.

But Republicans don't see it that way.<br /><br />Once again, GOP leaders are using terrorism and our national security as a political wedge issue. It is disgusting - but not surprising.<br /><br />This week, after Ned Lamont won the Connecticut Democratic primary, Dick Cheney said his victory would embolden "al-Qaeda types." <span style="font-weight:bold;">Is this the type of country we're going to live in? Where the Vice President of the United States can blatantly suggest that Connecticut voters are aiding the terrorists?</span><br /><br />Even more disgraceful is that when Cheney made those comments, he had been briefed on the Britain terror plot. There are simply no boundaries for these people. In their minds, our national security and their continued hold on power are one and the same. And they will stop at nothing to keep it that way.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.democratsenators.org/dia/track.jsp?key=50915570&url_num=2&url=http://www.democratsenators.org/dia/organizations/dscc/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=27&t=plain.dwt">Click here to tell Dick Cheney and Republican leaders to stop playing politics with our national security.</a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span><br />During the 2002 and 2004 elections, Republicans tried to sow fear in the American public by claiming that they were the only ones who could keep America safe. This, from the same crowd that has driven Iraq to the brink of disaster, left Osama Bin Laden on the loose to attack again, and continues to ignore our security needs at home. Ask any foreign policy pro, and they'll tell you we're less safe now than we were five years ago - and that the Bush crowd is largely responsible.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">I've had it. This cruel joke has gone on for too long.</span> Tell Republicans in Washington that you won't put up with their fear-mongering any longer.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://www.democratsenators.org/dia/track.jsp?key=50915570&url_num=2&url=http://www.democratsenators.org/dia/organizations/dscc/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=27&t=plain.dwt">Click here to tell Dick Cheney and Republican leaders to stop playing politics with our national security.</a></span><br /><br />It is time for Americans to take back our country back. I hope I can count on your support.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br /> <br /><br />Sen.
