First Anti-Afghanistan War TV Ad In US


'Americans of all ideological persuasions are fed up with the Afghanistan War. We're fed up with a $5.7 billion-per-month military campaign that's gone nowhere over the past 12 months. We're fed up with being told we'll have to do without vital public services because of the sorry state of our national finances, while at the same time our politicians are spending $2 billion a year to police a dusty Afghan town called Marjah. But most of all, we're tired of the song-and-dance from officials who think they can spin a year full of ugly setbacks as "progress." We know better.'  Clip Here

  1. Before the West tires of the war in Afghanistan.
    They will have invaded a new country.
    This is what we do best now.
    Being a War based economy, leaves these bastards no other choice.
    I am just so sick of it.

  2. I understand why Afghanistan ranks 9th or 10th in U.S. priorities during these economic times, yet it's still confusing as to why such an unpopular war is treated with disregard. The energy's waiting to be tapped. We just have to figure out how.

    T.V. is a good start, but the anti-war movement needs to find a catalyst to grab the masses.

  3. A catalyst is what is missing IMO too James. At one time I thought the Cindy Sheehan campaign would gather momentum. What happened? Protest does not seem to be on the radar in modern Amrerica. Now if this was the the 60s..............
