I will absolutely gaurantee you that should he have said this the criticism would be Bush is promising to protect us when there is no way every attack can be stopped, as is evidenced by the daily bombings in Iraq. Another no win situation where the words can be spun however political opponents wish to. Saying "we aren't safe from terrorist attacks yet" is reality, not fear mongering.
On a side note, this info came from Pakistani intelligence. I found that to be interesting as I've never really been quite sure if they were someone that wished to allign themselves against radical Islamic terrorists.
