Here's a CBS News Washington Whispers write-up of the group that is behind this particular surrender campaign, Americans Against Escalation in Iraq.

An excerpt:

Headquartered on K Street, Washington lobbyists' home, the campaign war room is a mix of disillusioned Iraq war veterans, liberal 20-somethings, and grizzled political campaigners. Thirty staffers blast out E-mails to the media and coordinate about 100 field organizers nationwide.

Tara McGuinness, deputy campaign manager, keeps head shots of her top prizes--Sununu, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Norm Coleman of Minnesota, and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, among others--pinned to her wall. On her table: a copy of Ending the War in Iraq, a recent screed by 1960s antiwar protester Tom Hayden.

They are well-funded, it seems. A K-Street office. Staffers. Blast-faxing and emailing.

They really want the US to be defeated.

I wonder how much of that K Street mega-money comes from the DNC, CPUSA, Workers World Party, radical Islamic groups, hostile countries like Iran and China, and so on.
