1) The US homeland has not been attaked in the four years since 2001, although terror leaders had promised there would be more attacks.

2) No Muslim government has fallen to the Islamist terror movement, though we know that was one of their key goals.

3) Two former terror supporting governments have been toppled, Saddam's and the Taliban.

4) Two governments (Pakistan and Saudi Arabia) which had been in a defacto truce (we leave you alone if you leave us alone) with the Islamist terror movement have been forced to change their policy and are now engaged in active violent struggle against it.

5) Libya has abandoned its WMD programs, allowed US inspectors to enter the country and remove WMD materials to Oak Ridge TN for destruction. We all know what Kaddafi said about what swayed his decision.

6) NK has recently promised to abandon its nuclear weapon program.

7) A new international anti-proliferation coalition, the Proliferation Security Initiative, has been formed.

I don't think anyone can dispute the accuracy of the above statements. I also don't think anyone can dispute that these achievements are very good for the US. IMO few if any of them would have happened but for Bush's resolve.
