George W. Bush: “A nation that once knew only the terror of the Taliban is now seeing a rebirth of freedom.”

I'm really happy to be back in this great state.

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

Being your President was a high privilege, and the honor of a lifetime.

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