Failure to perform

From DailyKos:

• Iraq is both a failure of Bush performance and policy. While we can argue about how to get out, the conclusion denied by the WH is nonetheless conventional wisdom
• Katrina was and is a failure both of Bush performance and policy. The anniversary is coming, and the spotlight on NOLA will not be pretty.
• The war on terror is a failure of Bush performance and policy. Most people do not think we are winning; those who buy the crap about iraq being part of it are just as likely to feel that way as those who don't.
