He rebutted Vice President Cheney's Monday comments on the Rush Limbaugh Show about all of the terrorist attacks that occurred on Clarke's watch during those "eight years going back to 1993" by recounting the terrorist attacks that were successfully thwarted and by saying that "there were fewer than 50 persons over the course of those eight years that were killed by Al Qaeda."
