The decision we make tomorrow will have a greater impact on the security of our country than any presidential election in my memory. America is at war on a scale unmatched in scope and importance since World War II. The threat today isn't monolithic like Hitler's Germany or Hirohito's Japan -- or bin Laden's al Qaeda of the '90s. But it's just as deadly, with diverse cells in 60 countries, linked by ideology and hatred. The war is global, complex and lethal, and the fundamental choice we must make is whether we fight that war offensively, by pursing the terrorists relentlessly around the world, or defensively, by waiting for them to strike again on American soil. There's no third choice. We cannot play for a tie. America did not create terrorism, terrorists did. And now we must wage war until we win -- no half measures, no equivocation, no "global test."

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Bush paid his dues
Time after time
Captured old Saddam
Destroyed Taliban
And lowered taxes
Helped more than a few
He’s had plenty of mud
Thrown in his face
But he’ll come through
He and Cheney will go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
The GOP’ll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
Don’t need lefty losers
'Cause the U.S. is the champion of the World
We’ve taken the fight
To the terrorist scum
Our troops have been bloodied and wounded
Have bled and died for our freedom
I thank them all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
We’re fighting for the survival of
The whole human race
And we ain't gonna lose
America will go on and on and on and on…
We are the champions - my friends
Bush & Cheney will keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
Don’t need lefty losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till we win
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
Franks: I know from firsthand experience that George W. Bush understands this reality. As commander of the Allied Forces in the Middle East, I worked with him as we laid out a strategy and reviewed operations. I came away from every meeting, every conversation, impressed by his consistency, his honesty, and his character. He does not hesitate, but neither does he rush to judgment. His decisions are based on the best information available. He respects the military and trusts the judgments of our serving military leaders. At each step of planning, he asked me directly whether I had the resources I needed to accomplish each mission. Yet his desire for thoroughness never led to wavering. I knew I could count on him to have the steadiness and patience to see the mission through -- and so did my subordinate commanders....
President Bush understands that destroying terrorism requires a consistent, committed effort on a global scale. And he knows we need the help of other nations committed to freedom. Since Sept. 11, 2001, he has built the largest coalition in history. And the mission determined the coalition; the coalition did not determine the mission. With the help of these allies, we have made remarkable progress in the last three years: 50 million people are free, two regimes that sponsored terror are gone, and America is safer. But much remains to be done. As voters consider their choice, they must think about how America will continue to confront challenges to our freedom. Winning the war against terrorism demands responsible, unwavering leadership. George W. Bush is a leader.
