That's
what we have to raise to make sure we stay afloat. Will
we make it?
It's
up to you.
I'm
sure the War Party doesn't have to go through all this
haranguing and harassing their contributors. If they need
a coupla million to cook up a new campaign, all they have
to do is call up one of the big neocon foundations, and say:
"Hey,
it looks like the number of combat deaths in Iraq is about
to hit the one-thousand mark, and we need a new war scare
based on a fresh set of lies. Can you front us a few million?"
"Oh,
no problem, dude. Say, where're you guys thinking of
'liberating' next?"
"Well,
we haven't really decided, yet: Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia.
So many Arab countries so little time!"
"Yeah,
I know what'cha mean. Ok, well, you know you can count
on me."
"We
owe you, bigtime."
"Oh
yes, I know, and don't worry: I intend to collect."

The War
Party can count on the power elite, the big corporate mega-giants
that feed on government contracts, and the foreign lobbyists
to stoke the engines of the war propaganda machine. They spare
no expense in funding a 24-hour lie factory that just keeps
on churning.
Fighting
these guys is a full-time job. It doesn't pay all that
well Antiwar.com is a very lean operation, with far
fewer employees than the mail room at the American Enterprise
Institute, and, believe me, it's no picnic. We work
every day, and we're always on call.
So, help
put us over the top so we can stop interrupting your view
of the news with these increasingly lengthy harangues. Yeah,
I know, this one's a real hair-puller, but if
we raise ten four thousand bucks in less than 24 hours
it'll be over and we can get back to our real work.
It's
now or never c'mon, help put us over
the top!
