Barbara Bush tells Diane Sawyer on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that she will not watch televised coverage of the war: “Why should we hear about body bags and deaths, and how many, what day it’s going to happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it’s, it’s not relevant. So, why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”She is despicable. How many truly beautiful minds have been destroyed by that same cavalier attitude, which is obviously shared by Mrs. Bush's son? These people do not support the troops. They view young men and women as expendable.
