I LIKE SIMPLICITY

So I have this question for the Democrats: how, if Hillary Clinton is your candidate next year, can you create a simple easy to understand ad that targets the Republican candidate as representing the war in Iraq?
How, for example, could you quote Vice President Cheney's statement on March 16th, 2003:

"I think things have gotten so bad in Iraq, from the standpoint of the Iraqi people, my belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators. . . . I think it will go relatively quickly, . . . (in) weeks rather than months." -

How, if Senator Clinton is your candidate, can you portray the Republicans as the party of the war in Iraq? She may be good at triangulation, but this to me appears more a matter of strangulation. What's the simple message about the war as announced by Democratic Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton?

Is there a simple answer to this question, or do the Democrats think next year's election will be won on issues other than Iraq?
