MoveOn has an interesting history. It was founded by a group of business executives to promote moderate politics. It opposed progressive Democrats and conservative Republicans mainly by funding relatively conservative Democratic candidates. In its early years, it helped get several Democrats elected who went on to support going into war. It now tries to present an image of being progressive and for peace. But its background of hostility to both still comes out. So it is not really surprising that it now advocates massive funding for continued war in Iraq. It is showing its true colors.
