MIKE ALLEN GETS IT WRONG

In Politico, Mike Allen writes:

Next week, Vets for Freedom — a 20,000-member, nonpartisan organization established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — plans to begin spending more than $1 million on a TV campaign that will include Ohio, Virginia and New Mexico.

It's NOT non-partisan. It's a group of war whores lead by Pete Hegseth who will lie about Iraq to prop up their own egos. The NY Times comes closer to the truth:
An independent group that has been highly critical of Senator Barack Obama is preparing a multi-million dollar television advertising campaign promoting what it deems the success of the troop buildup in Iraq.

Vets for Freedom is a non-profit advocacy organization for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan that claims 24,000 members. In late May, the group released two Web advertisements attacking Mr. Obama on Iraq, challenging him for not having visited Iraq in two-and-a-half years, a line of attack that the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee picked up on as well around the same time.
