George W. Bush: “We will encourage our friends to head south, across the Shamali Plains, but not into the city of Kabul, itself.”

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

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

On this day of prayer, Laura and I are holding up our fellow Texans who are hurting.
