New DNC Ad: "Guard"

The Kerry campaign is finally focusing on something that we've known for a long time: Bush and his administration are masters of obfuscation at best, liars at worst. The DNC's latest 30 second ad called "Guard", set to air in battleground states and on national cable news channels, features clips of George W. Bush claiming victory in Iraq and touting the strength of the economy juxtaposed with statistics that show the reality of the situation in Iraq and the lack of economic recovery.
