BARACK OBAMA: I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

GEN. MERRILL A. MCPEAK: As a combat pilot and Air Force chief during Desert Storm, lives depended on the judgments I made. And judgment is what we need from our next commander-in-chief.

Barack Obama opposed this war in Iraq from the start, showing insight and courage others did not. And he's our best hope to restore our security and standing in today's world.

The old Washington hands have let us down. We need a new leader to lift America.
