George W. Bush: “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, it is hereby ordered…”

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

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil. This is a tribute to those who toil night and day to keep us safe.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
