George Bush actually said...

I hereby waive the prohibition of section 2007(a) of the Act with respect to this country.

On Independence Day, we remember the vision and conviction of America's Founders.

It is a day to give thanks to God for His many blessings on America and for the privilege to call ourselves citizens of this special land.

The burden of war falls especially hard on military families, and I thank them for the support they give our troops in their vital work.
