If I look back to when I was 20 and somebody said you'd be president, I would have said no way.

I am a war president.

You know, nobody likes to see innocent people die. Nobody wants to turn on their TV on a daily basis and see havoc wrought by terrorists.

My fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed.

Obviously I pray every day there's less casualty.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger.

I kind of like to look at the ranch on Google, reminds me of where I want to be sometimes.
