McCain's Bomb Iraq Song Criticized in TV AdsThe ad criticizing Republican presidential contender John McCain is expected to air next week.Sen. John McCain and his joking referral to "that old Beach Boys' song Bomb Iran" and sang "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb" to the tune of Barbara Ann are criticized in a new TV ad launched by the liberal group MoveOn.org. The ad criticizing Republican presidential contender John McCain is expected to air in early Republican primary states beginning next week. The group plans to spend about $100,000 to air a commercial on network and some cable television stations in Iowa and New Hampshire, spokesman Alex Howe said Friday. The group calls McCain's remark "reckless" and senator's gesture "dangerous." "At a tense moment, when cooler heads in his own party and many retired military leaders are calling on the President to negotiate with Iran, Senator McCain's outburst isn't merely inappropriate, it's dangerous," said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action. "This isn't 'straight talk,' it isn't leadership, it's just more out-of-control bravado. The country can't afford any more of it," he added. In the video clip currently posted on YouTube an announcer says: "American has lived through six years of a reckless foreign policy. We're stuck in Iraq. More than 3000 Americans are dead. And thousands more wounded." "Now comes John McCain with his answer to what we should do about Iran." "John McCain? We Can't Afford Another Reckless President." Other News
