Mr.Rooney, regarding your comments on Iraq tonight. I am sure glad I am not your neighbor. I would hate to think you would feel the cost may be to great or the danger to high to become involved in a crime, rape, or even a dog attack on me or my family. Even if their were no MDN's in Iraq, or if none of the reasons we became involved were totaly coreect we are there and we have saved the lives of countless numbers of people, our neighbors. As the strongest country in the world we have a obligation to not look the other way when we see trouble but rather become engaged even if it means high costs. The world will be better for our help in Iraq.

Thank you for voicing what most Americans are thinking and saying. I just hope you don't end up retiring in the near future as most other reporters who seek accountability from this administration.

Thank you Mr. Rooney. I couldn't be more satisfied with your opinion on President Bush and his doings in Iraq. I feel that you have voiced the opinion of so many Americans that actually realize that this war in Iraq is NOT a war on terrorism. We are waisting money, lives, and causing hate from countries all around the world. Bush has developed an image for our country, that I most certainly don't want to be associated. I only wish more people could hear what you have said. I wish more that things would change.

Andy mentioned the men who are dying in Iraq. How about the women? Women soldiers are fighting and dying in this war as they have fought and died in all other wars. They have always been forgotten and Andy has done it again.
