George W. Bush: “This will mark a significant achievement on the path to a democratic and peaceful Iraq.”

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

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.

This tax relief has been a key factor in promoting the economic growth and job creation of recent years, and it should be made permanent.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
