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.
He understands as well as I understand that the war on terrorism will be waged on many fronts.
The American people have placed their trust in us, and we will honor that trust.

There is no place to run; there is no place to hide; there is no place to rest.
There's no negotiation— they must have not heard—there's no negotiation.
We will oppose their evil with firm justice, and we will answer their hatred with compassion for the Afghan people.
I urge you to show the best of America by directly helping the children of Afghanistan who are suffering from the oppression and misrule of their own Government.
The best defense against terrorism is a strong offensive against terrorists.
These provisions will help to ensure that the fight against terrorism is a national priority in our criminal justice system.
H.R. 2975 includes the provisions proposed by the Administration in three main areas.
I intend to nominate Christopher Bancroft Burnham to be Chief Financial Officer at the Department of State.
I intend to designate Thomas E. White to be Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict.
The ability of law enforcement and national security personnel to share this type of information is a critical tool for pursuing the war against terrorism on all fronts.
This bill contains, in some form, virtually all of the proposals made by the Administration in the wake of the terrorist attacks.
