"But for Mr. Rooney to sit atop his Ivory Tower in New York City, where this War on Terror began, attack our young men and women in uniform, and essentially question their patriotism, is about as low as it gets."
- I could NOT agree more. Whatever happened to people talking about subjects they were WELL INFORMED about.... it seems so very long since we had news like that....

I would have to say that Mr. Rooney's assertion was more unpatriotic than any of our soldiers actions over there - risking life and limb for their country while Rooney doesn't even risk his tongue.

Whatever happened to people talking about subjects they were WELL INFORMED about...

It's tough to be well-informed if your view of the war in Iraq is from the bar at your Baghdad hotel or from watching Al Jazeera TV. On US TV, notice that 99% of all broadcasts are done from Baghdad. Our brave reporters are afraid to venture out of their Baghdad hotel. The exception is a few souls like Ollie and Geraldo who imbed with a unit in the field. Even in Falluja, press coverage is done from a shared pool so that our TV "faces" have to go to scary places.
