George W. Bush: “Because we acted, Saddam Hussein no longer fills fields with the remains of innocent men, women, and children.”

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

We look forward to working with him and the National Archives to build a world-class Presidential library and museum that will be an important resource for scholars and the general public.

That is the America I know.

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