Chief House Appropriator Urges Obama to Change Course on Afghanistan
By Spencer Ackerman 10/8/09
The Washington Independent
It’s not quite a call to end the Afghanistan war, but Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), chairman of the crucial House Appropriations Committee and a participant in Tuesday’s congressional meeting with President Obama, has emailed out a very long statement saying that waging a counterinsurgency in Afghanistan is likely to be “futile.”
...
“The Congressional Budget Office has had four committees twisting themselves into knots in order to fit healthcare reform into that limit,” Obey said in the statement. “CBO is earnestly measuring the cost of each competing healthcare plan. Shouldn’t it be asked to do the same thing with respect to Afghanistan?”

[emphasis added]
His campaign website is under construction, but still has a working link:
David Obey for Congress.
If you've got a spare dime, ya might send it his way.
