President George W. Bush: “We moved into Iraq, we removed the dictator, but we’ve got work to do. First, we’re going to help rebuild the country, make sure the people have got food on the table, make sure the children can go to school, make sure those who need medical supply can find medical supply. We’re going to turn the lights on all around the country so that life can return back to normal. And then we’ll work with the Iraqi people to have a government of, by, and for Iraqi citizens.
