I want to know.

I want to get to the bottom of this.
Blogs for Bush says that there isn't a grain of truth in the anti-war arguments, and that they are aiding the enemy.
Well, the enemy is in retreat, and there are still a lot of questions that even I want to know.

I want to know where the WMDs are. There are 4 possibilities.
1) They exist, and the US found them. If this is true, then the Bush government should be publishing photos, instead of letting all this speculation go on.
2) They exist, but we never found them. If so, then why did we call off the search? Are we just going to let enriched uranium sit under the sands somewhere until somebody accidentally finds it?
3) They exist, but they're no longer in Iraq. If so, then somebody's got a LOT of explaining to do. We went to war to destroy the WMD. If Al-Qaida got away with them, and perhaps also looted one of Saddam's arsenals (unsecured at the time by US troops.), then the war is a bust.
4) They don't exist. Supported, if by nothing else, by the changing explaination for the war - was WMD, then was Remove Saddam - this would be a horrible crime to have perpetrated upon the United States Armed Forces and their families.
I want proof. One way or the other.

Second, I want to know who's lying in the Plame case.
The case is not a farce, as some on the right have said. The evidence may be a farce - the case is deadly serious. An intelligence system in disarray, trying to bring down a sitting president - this is NOT a farce.

Third, I want to know what's being done about Al-Qaida.
Bin Ladin's still out there. Agents are still blowing things up.
Fighting the terrorists who don't happen to be in Iraq is a matter for US intelligence. Which may want to bring down the government more than it wants to save the country.
The police will not help us against terrorists. We ALL have to be involved. We all have to know what we're dealing with, and what to look for.
We're not being told.
This is total war, people, against an enemy that strikes from the shadows, and looks like the kids from the tenaments. England and France have both been struck, not by Iraqi, but by people who have lived in those countries all their lives.
They live in New York, too. And Los Angeles.

I want to know these things.
So do you. Whether you say so or not.
