WE WERE SHANGHAIED ….

"Some of the most important decisions about U.S. national security – including vital decisions about postwar Iraq – were made by a secretive, little-known cabal. It was made up of a very small group of people led by Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld."

~ Col. Lawrence B. Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff, October 25, 2005

… AND YOU READ IT HERE FIRST

"A cabal of ideologues who revel in the idea of waging World War IV has worked its way into the White House, and is being given the run of the place. … It's ugly, even monstrous – and it just may work. What could stop it, however, is if enough people … catch on to the neocons' wargame – and decide it's time to pull the plug."

~ Antiwar.com, "Our Hijacked Foreign Policy," March 25, 2002

That’s our job at Antiwar.com – being one step ahead of the news. We've been warning about the deadly danger posed by the neocon cabal for so long that it doesn't even bear thinking about. But what does bear thinking about is how we're going to keep this site going. Unlike the neocons, we don't have the support of multi-millionaire media tycoons and wealthy foundations. We depend on you – our faithful readers – for our survival. And we're turning to you, now, to make sure that we don't go under at this crucial time.

Your contribution is 100% tax deductible – so give as much as you can, as soon as you can.


On the first day of our drive, 193 of you gave a total of $11,215. A good start toward the $60,000 to keep Antiwar.com running for the next quarter. Please help.
