George W. Bush: “Yesterday the United Nations sent a clear message that the world supports a free Iraq.”

For eight years, it has been my honor to serve as your President. The first decade of this new century has been a period of consequence—a time set apart.

This is not mere nostalgia, it is the truest version of ourselves.

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.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
