Gee, who was it that called war romantic? Hmmmm, who was that? Oh yeah…..it was Georgie Boy! And plan on hearing “I was a war hero” about 3 million times between now and November. That’s great……but you ran out of gas on that one when you refused to support today’s soldiers by supporting the GI Bill.

The McCain campaign will release its first ad of the general election today, a spot called “Safe” that features Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) talking to the camera about his war heroism and judgment on national security.

That theme gives a hint of the McCain campaign’s planned positive message, in addition to its plans to hit Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) as inexperienced.

A campaign official calls the ad “the first shot in John McCain’s major general election ad campaign.”

In the ad, McCain says: “Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war. … I was shot down over Vietnam and spent five years as a POW. … I hate war. And I know how terrible its costs are. I’m running for president to keep the country I love safe. I’m John McCain, and I approve this message.”
