President Bush said Tuesday that he stopped playing golf in 2003 out of respect for U.S. soldiers killed in the Iraq war
"I didn't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said in an online interview with Politico magazine and the Internet portal Yahoo. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them."
Bush said he made his decision after the August 2003 bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad.
