While many Kossacks are out enjoying the 'new' Pittsburgh, antiwar.com keeps chugging away against the war party members of both major parties.

The War Party never goes broke...
but we can and will, unless you help
When you look at what we are up against – the sheer scope and scale of the War Party and its almost unlimited resources – it makes you wonder: how can we imagine we'll win?
After all, a whole host of lobbyists and interest groups, both foreign and domestic, are pressuring this administration to go the war route. The military-industrial complex is rallying its troops on Capitol Hill, and the Israel lobby – which is pushing for war with Iran – is in a frenzy. In addition to the usual neoconservative suspects, a whole new contingent of "liberal" interventionists is clamoring for a fresh conflict in the Middle East, cheering Obama's war in Afghanistan and demanding an invasion of Pakistan.
Together these groups can muster many millions of dollars in a campaign to demonize the "enemy," dress up phony "intelligence" as fact, and push the American people into yet another futile crusade that will cost many lives and drive us further into debt. With our own country falling to pieces and its people hurting, how can anyone justify nation-building in Afghanistan?
But with millions at their disposal, the pro-war think-tanks, media, and government officials are churning out war propaganda at a blindingly fast pace – and with virtually no opposition. Except, that is, for Antiwar.com...
Our budget is a tiny fraction of what they spend every day. We don't have their access to the mainstream media. And we sure as heck don't have their direct tap into the U.S. Treasury! What we do have, however, is YOU.
