"Whoa! Repubs against war buy full page ad in WSJ" by Antidolt


Yesterday's WSJ had a full page ad sponsored by True Majority (that's Ben Cohen of
Ben & Jerry's group) partnered with--Business Leaders for Sensible Priorities. This
should lift all of our spirits. In the center of the ad is a picture of what one assumes
are Iraqi children, and imposed over it is the message "A Billion Bitter Enemies Will
Rise Out Of This War".

The text of the ad carries the headline "A Republican Dissent on Iraq".

It begins:

Let's be clear. We supported the Gulf War. We supported our intervention in
Afghanistan. We accept the logic of a just war. But Mr. President, your war on Iraq
does not pass the test. It is not a just war.

The candidate we supported in 2000 promised a more humble nation in our dealings
with the world. We gave him our votes and our campaign contributions. That
candidate was you.

(and then in bold print)--"We feel betrayed. We want our money back. We want our
country back."

Holy Koresh!! It is signed by a couple dozen business leaders and CEOs.


Here's a partial list of signatures:

Edward H. Hamm, Republican Regent, former chairman The Northland Company

Richard S. Johnson, Founder Hotjobs.com

Peter A. Benoliel, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Quaker Chemical Corp.

Howard S. Brembeck, Founder, CTB Inc.

Vice Admiral(ret) John J. Shanahan

Frank Martin, Managing Partner, Martin Capital Management
