We need for the Democratic presidential candidates to take down both McCain and the Media.
They can use the arguments that Glenn puts forward in this piece. Namely, we were led into a war by a compliciant, compliant and cheer leading press, and it is happening again.
This point really has to be driven home with regard to a potential war with Iran.
The candidates should take down McCain and the press and while they are at it, point out that the media is complicit in supporting an attack on Iran.
The Democratic leadership should do this as well.
The Republicans have used a war to win elections in the past and this is one of the few gambits they have left. We can expect the worst from them so this is plausible.
