But there’s
no money in being consistently right – and so once again we turn
to you for help.
Why should you
support Antiwar.com’s fundraising
campaign? For one, we were the first Western media outlet to
report the imminent re-invasion of Iraq – in this
story written by News Editor Jason Ditz and published 4 days
before the air strikes.
This illustrates
the predictive value of Antiwar.com: you come here for the
truth about US foreign policy – and we give it to you, without fear
or favor. And this isn’t the first time we’ve scooped the rest of
the media. We’ve been doing it for over 18 years:
- When George
W. Bush went into Afghanistan, we said it was a quagmire – and
while neocons insisted we were wrong (and traitors, to boot!),
it turned out we were 100 percent right.
- When they
said Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction" we said it was a lie.
Again, the usual suspects yelled "treason!" – but if
telling the truth is treason, then we plead guilty.
- When the
neocons claimed they building Iraqi "democracy," we
said they were inviting chaos – and will deny the accuracy of
our prediction?
- When NATO
pushed eastward we warned of a new cold war was in the making.
Hardly anyone else saw it – but we did.
- When we said
Israel was turning into apartheid South Africa, Israel’s amen
corner went ballistic – but we were right about that, too.
So what do we
get for being right when most of the Very Serious People were wrong?
We hope to get what we deserve – your
financial support.
For all these
years we’ve been telling you what’s happening in the world – before
it even happens! That’s worth a lot more than you can probably afford
to give, but please – give what you can. Make
