Andrew Roberts, ghost-writer-designate of George Bush's autobiography (why? - he was set up for life anyway without needing to take on that), was on The World At One to say that there had been no attack on American soil since 11th September 2001.
Well, credit where credit is due. Even when it is due to George Bush.
In probably the only good move that Bush that has ever made, he responded to 9/11 by removing the pointless, but to many people gravely offensive, American troops from Saudi Arabia. As a result, there has indeed been no attack on American soil since, just as there has been none against Spain since she withdrew from Iraq, even though Spain was part of the Caliphate for many centuries.
But all the attention at the time of Bush's wise action was on Afghanistan, where the precedent was being set for the always-intended wars against Iraq and Iran.
