I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't.
George W. BushNo president ever puts American lives at risk without a terrible sense of responsibility. And no American ever hears or reads of a soldierโs death without saying a silent prayer for the dead hero or thinking of the grief of the family and friends. Every young man or woman who dies represents a life with its own dreams and plans, extinguished so suddenly. But all said and done, it is our responsibility to see that (1) we never put our troops in situations where they are subject to unnecessary risk, and (2) we give them all our support at all times.
George W. BushThe true history of my administration will be written 50 years from now, and you and I will not be around to see it.
George W. BushWhatever party you're in in America, our troops deserve the full support of our government.
George W. Bush
