George W. Bush
The Public Record
George W. Bush is the 43rd President of the United States, serving from January 20, 2001, to January 20, 2009. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the Governor of Texas from January 17, 1995, until December 21, 2000. His presidency was marked by significant events, including the September 11 attacks in 2001 and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush's domestic policies included tax cuts, education reform, and Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Afghanistan was almost a bit of a testing ground for some of these things.
From Afghanistan to the Balkans, from the Mediterranean Sea to Darfur, we're advancing peace and security.
We must succeed as an alliance on the Afghanistan mission; that this is important for the future of Afghanistan.
All European democratic countries may be considered for MAP or admission.
The fact that they had already had a good meeting together, felt like it negated the purpose to doing so.
Don't expect any bombshells, or things like that, but they do expect this to be a very productive, substantive meeting.
That's what binds all of what we do -- Afghanistan, the training of Iraqis, the support to the African Union.
