George W. Bush: “They're smart, capable people who represent the Iraqi people with a lot of dignity.”

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 grateful to the first responders and volunteers who are working to find the missing and comfort the grieving at Camp Mystic and along the Guadalupe.

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

We look forward to working with him and the National Archives to build a world-class Presidential library and museum that will be an important resource for scholars and the general public.
