From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Inouye's response

"As a Veteran of World War II, I know what it's like to fight a war
and put your life on the line every day. I also know what it takes to win a
war, and I know that politics and an attack machine like the President's
plays no part in it.

"The Republican Party's latest ad is a shameful and disgusting attempt
to distract the American people from the problems in Iraq. It may improve
the President's political fortunes, but the American people and our troops
will pay the price. I hope that President Bush realizes how shameful it is
to play politics when what we really need is leadership, and that he will
direct his Party to take down this ad immediately."
