He made what is called a "tiger prevention" policy statement.

He said "...in the past 7 years we have not had another terrorist attack....."

Well, the absence of an attack can be for a number of reasons that have little to nothing to do with the war in Iraq and other things that it will be credited to. Maybe there wouldn't have been another terrorist attack, anyway.

So it's like saying "we banned tigers on city streets and there haven't been any tigers. This means our policy worked." The probability of tigers on city streets is low with or without a policy.
