This is the truth as I see it.

If we are at war, then why are the politicians campaigning, and not taking care of the national defense? Why aren't they all staying in D.C. until their work gets done? Are they so arrogant as to believe that it is only they that are uniquely qualified to lead this country?

We will be attacked again, and it will be preventable. I can no longer fight, because I don't have the necessary tools. Without the tools I am blind. My radar has been overloaded with spurious information that is meant to confuse, and it’s done by Americans for their own self-serving purposes. My burden is too great for me to bear without assistance.

Being held responsible for hundreds of deaths that are beyond my control has a wonderful way of imparting moral clarity. When it comes to moral clarity, I am a Zen master. I have made the proper notification of the tools that I must have so I may see, yet they still have not arrived. Why?

Who cares if Americans get killed, the talking heads, politicians and everyone else that knows what must be done will just say "I was only following orders". If there is a disagreement on principle, you can always rationalize your personal weakness and say, "I was just following orders". It will help let you look at yourself in the mirror.

If it really is "Worth the fighting for", then why aren't we fighting with all the possible weapons?

I have been conquered by my emptiness. Kill me, or help me; but at least get a spine and do something before more Americans get killed.
