He thinks he can keep people's attention away form casualties? What a fool! Those people died for their country. We honor them be recognizing their lives when they are honored. Are the funerals public? Then the pubic should be there to honor them for their sacrifice! Bush doesn't even have the integrity to show up for any of those funerals himself. Bush is trying single-handedly to destroy the great tradition of journalistic independence and it's watchdog role. How un-American.
