George Bush actually said...

"I condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attacks today in Istanbul."

"Turkey has suffered terrible losses from terrorism for decades, and the United States stands resolutely with Turkey in the global war on terrorism."

"We also are grateful for the extra efforts of the many Federal civilian employees who, in the absence of their fellow activated workers, have contributed to the War on Terror."

"I want to thank you for your strong leadership in standing up to the terrorists who are trying to create fear and chaos."
