Two separate full page anti-war advertisements appear in today's New York Times. The Florence Fund's ad feature's "Uncle Osama," an Uncle Sam take-off who taunts "Send me a new
generation of recruits. Your bombs will fuel their hatred of America and
their desire for revenge." Meanwhile, a full page advertisement
from the TrueMajority Campaign led by former ice cream magnate Ben Cohen
features photos of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld and says "They're Selling War. We're Not Buying." It also argues that "the final winner of war with Iraq will be Osama bin Laden."
