Don't Send My Baby to Iraq!

The fools at MoveOn and AFSCME are going to run a new ad against McCain:

The two Democratic-supporting groups air provocative spot featuring woman with an infant telling McCain she won’t let him send her child to Iraq.

If McCain serves two terms the infant will be 8 or 9 years old when McCain leaves office. He won't be able to send it to Iraq. I hate to tell the left how to create their ads, but it would have been much more effective if the woman had been talking to a teenager.

UPDATE: Great minds think alike - from James Taranto:

It's not clear whether "Alex" is a real baby or just an actor, but assuming the former, shouldn't we wait till he grows up and let him decide if he wants to serve his country by joining the military? Once Alex turns 18--which, by the way, will not occur until both John McCain and Hillary Clinton** have completed their second terms--his mother will have no authority over his life choices. We don't know if he'll enlist, but we'll bet he registers as a Republican, as an act of rebellion against his suffocating, overprotective mom.
