Dear Mr. Obama

In this YouTube video titled "Dear Mr. Obama," an Iraq War vet delivers a personal message to the Democratic Presidential nominee, explaining that what the U.S. is doing in Iraq is not a mistake. Be sure to watch the entire video, all the way to the end. Otherwise, you'll miss the most powerful part of the message.

This one-man show may well be one of the most effective ads of this campaign season.
