We're certainly willing to help the Government and the Colombian people realize a prosperous future.
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.

I've asked the Congress to join me in creating a Department of Homeland Security.
I will not accept a Department of Homeland Security that does not allow this President, and future Presidents, to better keep the American people secure.
Homeland security is now equated with protecting the country, and that's stating the obvious.
We owe it to our children. We owe it to our children's children to defend freedom.
