George Bush actually said...

"We are a country built on the rule of law, and our Nation is grateful to the men and women who enforce those laws and uphold the fairness and peace we treasure."

"We urge Congress to eliminate this provision and any other requirement to spend funds to maintain a ship that the Navy believes is no longer essential."

"They performed their jobs with extraordinary distinction, and a proud and grateful Nation will always remember their service and sacrifice."

"The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities."
