I don't think that's neccesarily true and I think most reasonable people will acknowledge that, even Bush aside, there would be something incredibly wrong with the country as a whole if anti-terror security was not significantly improved after 9/11 - and no doubt it was improved. If anything, Bush could rather be blamed for not improving it sooner and preventing 9/11.
At what cost, and to what extent has it been efficient abroad however, is questionable.
Likewise, it's in the nature of terrorism to never be 100% avoidable, it's one of the reasons the tactic works. I don't think another terrorist attack would really prove anything against Bush, to be honest; it'd just prove the fact that "War on Terror", like "War on Drugs" in the sense that the administration seems to be pushing it is a bit of a fallacy - it's a war of containment rather than a war of annihilation.
