George W. Bush: “Maintaining a safe and secure environment remains the primary military task.”

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

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

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

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