George W. Bush

Born 6 July 1946 · 43rd President of the United States (2001–2009)

George Walker Bush served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. His presidency was defined by the response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which launched the “War on Terror,” the invasion of Afghanistan, and the 2003 Iraq War. This line, delivered to Congress nine days after 9/11, became one of the most quoted — and most debated — sentences of his tenure.
