Investigate
the War Party
How
did they lie us into war?
That's
the question Americans are asking as the horror of Iraq unfolds.
How did the War Party fool Congress, the media, and the people
into committing American troops to a hopeless, unnecessary
fight?
They
set up what amounted to a lie factory in the bowels of the
Pentagon and fed
falsified "intelligence" to gullible reporters and
the American public. When the CIA and the State Department
wouldn't go along with their scheme, they set up their own
intelligence-gathering agencies – in effect, a parallel government
– which led us down the primrose path to war.
Where
was Congress? Safely in Republican hands. Now that an antiwar
wave has swept the Democrats into power, can we expect
an investigation?
Unless
the American people demand an accounting, they won't get it.
The politicians will do the easy thing: they'll let it slide.
"Let's move on." "Let's be constructive."
"That would be too divisive."
But
Americans want to know the truth. They want to know who lied,
and why. It is being constructive to discover how they
bamboozled us – because it will ensure that they won't do
it again any time soon. If we let them slide, they won't just
slink away – because you can bet the War Party isn't through
with us quite yet.
From the
Scooter
Libby affair to the Niger
uranium forgeries, Antiwar.com has been in the lead, publicizing
the facts and following the War Party's tracks down some pretty
dark paths. But we can't continue to do it without your help.
We need your help, and we need it now. We can pressure the
politicians to do the right thing – but only if we can continue
to pursue the truth and put it out there. Your contribution
is tax-deductible – and it couldn't come at a better time.
Let's hold the politicians accountable – send
in your contribution today.
