George W. Bush: “The system failed you, and it failed our troops.”

History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position.

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.
