George W. Bush: “Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right decision, and the world is better for it.”

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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'm really happy to be back in this great state.
