The fetching and feisty Laura Flanders, shown above, seems to be emerging from the fog of pwoggery that I saw her in last year. She has a nice item in The Nation:
After the president announced the deployment of 4,000 more troops (on top of the extra 17,000 he's already sent) Jon Soltz, an anti-Iraq war organizer with VoteVets wrote in the Huffington Post: "With today's announcement President Obama has shown that he 'gets it.' That's why we at VoteVets.org are supporting the plan." They even have a rah-rah petition going.Americans United for Change ran hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of anti-Iraq war ads in 2007, but they refused to answer a Washington Post blogger's question about Afghanistan....
MoveOn has thus far been silent on Afghanistan.

Be careful, Michael! She's a relative of the wizard of contra-frap. OP may be unhappy!

I know Owen's weaknesses from of old. Don't worry about him.

OP -- I'm surprised at you. LF is the least of the Cockburn clan, only graced with a sexy voice.
