“President George W. Bush has led our Nation in the global war on terror with consistent strength and courage. After thousands of innocent Americans were murdered on September 11, he understood the nature of the terrorist threat and immediately went on the offensive to protect American families. The Democratic Presidential nominee, John Kerry, has proven he has a September 10 approach. When asked what he would do about the war on terror, Kerry said America should hold summits and must pass a global test before defending the American people. This is a mixed message that will do nothing to deter terrorists. Under President Bush's leadership, America has liberated 50 million people from terrorist-sponsoring regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq, captured or killed hundreds of terrorists, formed a new Department of Homeland Security, initiated training of Iraqi police and military, and stopped the flow of millions of dollars in terrorist funding. President Bush has proven he is the right leader to win the war on terrorism by making courageous decisions to protect American families. In conclusion, may God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11.”
