I'm comfortable with how I lived my life as the president.

I have written a book. This will come as quite a shock to some. They didn't think I could read, much less write.

Today, the government of a free Afghanistan is fighting terror, Pakistan is capturing terrorist leaders, Saudi Arabia is making raids and arrests, Libya is dismantling its weapons programs, the army of a free Iraq is fighting for freedom, and more than three-quarters of al-Qaida's key members and associates have been detained or killed. We have led, many have joined, and America and the world are safer.

In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.

Here in the United States our Muslim citizens are making many contributions in business, science and law, medicine and education, and in other fields...[they are]upholding our nation's ideals of liberty and justice in a world at peace.

Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.

I'm forever a former president and I understand that, but at this point in my post-presidency, I don't want to be involved with politics.
