McCain Ad: Tiny.



McCain's latest ad attacks Obama for saying that Iran does not pose "a serious threat" to America. Of course, to put this into Obama's mouth McCain first has to strip all context away from the remark, which was actually comparing Iran to a real threat like the Soviet Union.

"They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us," he said in arguing for talks with Iran. "You know, Iran, they spend one-100th of what we spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serious threat to us, they wouldn't stand a chance."
And that's the truth. Iran wouldn't stand a chance against the US. It's a bit like Saakashvili with his 10,000 soldiers taking on Russia. How did that work out then?
