On "The Situation Room" today, we asked viewers the following questions, and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
What does it mean if the 9/11 commission suspected the Pentagon wasn't telling the truth about the day of the attacks?Jack, it's a very sad day when our own officials have no obligation to tell us the truth, about anything. The commission was lied to, we know it, and they know it.
Norma, Roseburg, OregonIt simply is one more link in the chain of lies that led us to war against Iraq. If they had told the truth, the incompetency would have been evident. So now we have 9/11, the War, Katrina and the list is growing. Oh, and where is Osama?
Mike, Austin, TexasIt means that there is something to cover up and the commission should have followed their instincts and referred this to the Justice Department. Not that that would have made a difference; at the very least it would be an appearance of doing the right thing.
Laura, Trumbull, ConnecticutA top House Democrat, Rep. John Conyers, says the Constitution is in crisis. Do you agree?The Constitution of the United States hangs by a thread, and the Republicans have the scissors in hand.
Dan, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Jack, why would anyone pay attention to anything Conyers says? He is the male version of Cynthia McKinney... He is a far left-wing Democrat and what else would you expect to come out of his mouth?
Bill, Wichita, KansasOur Constitution isn't in danger. Our Constitution is dead. It is sad it has taken Americans this long to even question its being in danger.
Shaun, New Castle, PennsylvaniaHow will the current conflict change the equation in the Middle East?It won't. The better question is: How will it change the equation in the U.S.?
Sarah, Altamonte Springs, FloridaThe equation? The current equation is and always has been "Middle Eastern country #1 + Middle Eastern country #2 = stuff constantly blowing up." How is this or any conflict ever going to change that?
Aaron, Watertown, WisconsinShould Israel be successful in eradicating the Hezbollah thugs and Lebanon becomes a sovereign nation not held hostage by the Hezbollah gangster, there may be a time when Israel can enforce a peace on the area.
Gene, Lake Oswego, Oregon
The Middle East has been at war, on and off, for thousands of years. Why is the current tiff any different?
P.J., Pewaukee, WisconsinThe current invasion of Lebanon will create a new generation of hatred toward Israel building long-term support for Hamas and Hezbollah in years to come. Also, this invasion may build some alliances among Arabs which do not exist.
