John McCain's most powerful ad -- an open letter to Barack Obama in which an Iraq War veteran criticizes his stand on the war -- didn't cost the Republican candidate a dime.

In "Dear Mr. Obama," army veteran Joe Cook stands in front of the camera and scolds the Democratic presidential candidate for calling the Iraq war a mistake. The two-minute video, which was posted on YouTube, has gotten more than 11 million hits and is the most popular election video on the site.

Is a youtube link too much to ask for? Search on the site comes up empty.

You think maybe the libs at Youtube/Google pulled the plug on this one?

I watched this video over a month ago--and the first time through it pierced me right to the heart. And that was BEFORE I noticed the prosthetic leg!

To me--the popularity of this video brings a ray of hope. We are still the "land of the free and the home of the brave"--and if McCain/Palin could just highlight that theme--asking since when is fighting for the freedom of others a "bad policy", I think they can light a fire under a lot of people who still want to "ask not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country"!

No matter what happens, God bless you Joe! And all our men and women serving in the military, including my own son Jon!

It is Joe the Veteran who gives real hope and change to the world. God Bless each and everyone of our Military Men and Women. Without you, millions would live under tyranny and hopelessness.
