[Peace-discuss] George Bush: Remarks and a Question-and-Answer Session With Reporters in San Antonio, Texas, on United States Military Action in Panama

[Boyle, Francis A]

* On her decision not to watch much TV during the run-up to the Iraq war being led by her son, George W. Bush: "But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it's going to happen, and how many this and 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? And watch him suffer." (March 18, 2003)

Mrs. Bush. Let me just tell you. He thanked George and gave him a little American flag. And he said, "This is from all the men in Panama, and I want you to have this from them. And we thank you for sending us." He's a paraplegic. 

Q. From this incident? 

Mrs. Bush. Right there. He's so sweet. But I mean, he met him. He wasn't -- you can't fake that. 

Q. Thank you, Mrs. Bush. 

The President. You have a Happy New Year!
