Bomb Iran?



Have you seen the video?

At a campaign stop on Wednesday, Sen. John McCain was asked what to do about Iran. His response? He sang "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" to the tune of the Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann."

Seriously.

He says it was a joke, but the bottom line is that it is reckless saber-rattling against Iran at a time when tensions are high. Will you help us counter his message on TV?

War with Iran would be a disaster. The best way to stop this idea in its tracks is to make sure politicians who talk loosely about war pay a political price.

Even under normal circumstances, it's unusual for a presidential candidate to casually call for bombing another country. But this behavior is really out of line now when tensions with Iran are so high.

McCain's song gave us a glimpse of what we can look forward to if we don't draw the line now. That's why, overnight, MoveOn.org has put together a powerful ad that calls out Sen. McCain for his statement and reminds people that this kind of recklessness is what got us into the war with Iraq. To see it, CLICK HERE
