George W. Bush: “The United States has no closer ally than the United Kingdom.”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

what America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.
