Bush administration is "failing the test of protecting the American people from the terrorist threat at home and abroad."
Three years after 9/11,  American Progress' report card 
(http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=183682) , 
"Failing Grades," judges the Bush administration deserves a "C-" for its 
prosecution of the war against terrorism, a "D" for its use of the 
military, and a long stay in detention for its disastrous field trip to 
Iraq. The Bush administration's key moments of failure in these three 
subjects were, respectively, failing to secure Afghanistan or apprehend 
Osama bin Laden, stretching the military thin by embarking on a war of 
choice before Afghanistan was secure and, finally, misleading the American 
people and rushing to Iraq on false pretenses without international 
support. All in all, the report concludes the Bush administration is 
"failing the test of protecting the American people from the terrorist 
threat at home and abroad."
