There's plenty of BS to his claims, but your question doesn't make sense. Of course some of the policies have stopped attacks- they were several which were foiled. Now were the specific policies which led to this any different from what we'd have put into place following 9/11 with someone else in office? That's the real question.
No matter who the sitting president was, we'd have been going after the Taliban,tightening airport security, investigating terrorist network financing etc. That sort of thing isn't based upon political party. Libertarian, Democrat, Republican- doesn't matter, what needed to be done would get done, to keep the country safe.
Now for more controversial points like warrantless wiretaps and detaining enemy combatants without trials, who knows how much (or if) they've helped? One would imagine there's been at least one case where information obtained was useful- but this is of course speculation, the specifics remain classified.
So much is a double-edged sword- policies which are beneficial in one respect (like speeding up legal proceedings and keeping captured suspects off the streets), create problems in another (like eroding our support among allies, which further harms our intelligence efforts and aids our enemies)

Have we been attacked by terrorists since 9/11? No we haven't. So I guess his policies have worked. Doesn't take too much critical thinking skills to figure that one out. You must be a Democrat.

i believe it quite is greater precise to assert ending particular regulations that have been in place in the past 9-11-2001 has decreased the risk of terrorists being waiting to circumvent detection long adequate to degree a considerable attack. a metamorphosis in innovations-set between the worry-unfastened citizen has decreased the probabilities of any given attack succeeding. The 9-11 hijackings have been efficient many times because of the fact no person tried to stop the hijackers. maximum previous hijacking resulted in landing someplace and being held mutually as the hijackers negotiated for something. maximum passengers have been finally released unhurt. Even on 9-11, whilst they knew the hijackers motive, passengers on United ninety one took it on themselves to stop the hijackers, even on the fee of their lives.

The only proof that you will accept that Bush's policies are necessary to protecting the US is another terrorist attack. Then you will blame Bush for that.
