What should be said, then?
We are in the clear and terrorists don't want to attack us anymore? Or nothing at all? It's realism. We could be attacked. To say we are not at risk would be disingenuous and criticized (and rightly so) as ostrich like. To not talk about it while terrorism and terrorist attacks are perhaps the largest issue in he world at present would be criticized (and rightly so) as, well, ostrich like again.
I suppose he could come out and say we are at risk but not to be afraid because your government is doing their best to protect you, but that would called electioneering.
