Moveon.org to launch ads against McCain

The political action group moveon.org is today set to launch attack ads on John McCain for his support of the escalation to the war in Iraq.

According to the organization, the ads are set to run in key early voting states, Iowa and New Hampshire as well as on national cable.

The McCain camp have critisized the advertisments, saying that "Moveon.org is an out of the mainstream organization that has a long history of airing inflammatory material".

The ads are said to cost about $275,000 to run.

Meanwhile John McCain appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday to defend the Bush plan for Iraq. Democrats such as John Edwards have been calling the new plan for Iraq, "The McCain Doctrine".

McCain said that he believes that the new strategy in Iraq can succeed. He stated that although he "...i can't guarantee it will succeed...I can guarantee catastrophe if we fail or continue the present strategy."
